a draw like any other, sometimes you get it easy, other times you get to measure up with the best - no place for conspiracy theories, imo.
Milan didn't have luck in the draw for getting the favourite to win it all but then again Milan was the one team Barca didn't wanna get either and Pepp does know what he is talking about
don't think that would have any role here as a potential encounter with Real M would provide plenty of motivation on it's own. If anything, thinking of the next stage before you've even won the right to play there could have a negative effect on Bayern.
For once Barca gets a difficult road to the final (facing Milan and probably Chelsea) but they should beat both teams with relative ease. Madrid got the easier road but a match against bayern will be mouth watering (although I expect madrid to win easily unless Robben has one of those matches).
I'd rather Milan getting beated out, and lose confidence, Than Milan going trough and gets more confidence, but they also get alittle tired. With playing 3(soon 1-2) tournaments
On the other hand, Milan might already realize the hopelessness of their situation and decide to go after one bird and concentrate even more on Serie A already.
