Bayern is so typical german. Well oiled machine that destroys everything in its path.

unless they have to play Barca, I can definitely see that happen. Dortmund have a sweet team themselves but not there just yet in terms of maturity ... maybe in a couple of years if they don't sell off their family jewels.
Of the team's that are left, I think Juve's toughest, most inconvenient opponents would be Barca, Dortmund and Milan.
As for bayern, I think they would be a more comfortable opponent for you, in a way, which is not to say "easy" given how well-balanced and smooth-running that team is ... however, I expect you'd have the mental edge going into that match-up and have them unsettled. Not the case with Dortmund, imo, who I retain your most inconvenient opponent after Barca.
I think Real M would eliminate Man Utd but either way I think you match up favorably vs both teams' style of play as long as you have all your starters ready and in good shape.
What a difference Drogba would have made for you this year.

I don't buy into this Bayern hype.
They were hardly made to work by a weak Arsenal side, so this isn't a game to base anything off. If we were to come up against them I feel it would be like when we faced Chelsea, Ribery and Robben wouldn't get any joy.
In regards to Madrid/Utd, I'd be more worried about UTD as Sir Alex is much more capable at the moment at inspiring his side than Mourinho who seems to have lost the plot domestically. The media in spain is just waiting for his departure and I'm sure some players in the camp are looking towards it.
Barca? It's tito not pep so I'm not as scared they look ignaficantly weak and if we play like we did against Celtic the scoreline will be eerily similar as no one in that backline can properly define. That is of course if we finish. As AcMilan said I worry of Dortmund the most but I don't their tie is over just yet.

It's funny you say that because I think the way Real are set up would cause Juve real* problems. Ozil playing in Pirlo's area of the pitch would be very dangerous IMO. If Real were on top in the game, not only would it stop Pirlo being on the ball as much as you'd like, but it would force him to do a lot of defending. Then there's Ronaldo and Coentrao/Marcelo. They'd double up on Lichtsteiner keeping him pinned back and forcing Vidal out wide to help him, which would leave Real with an extra man in midfield (Khedira, Alonso, Ozil vs Pirlo and Marchisio). Marchisio would have to keep an eye on Khedira's forward runs as well as Di Maria when he comes inside from the right, which would leave Alonso free to dictate play unless Vucinic closed him down (and come on, it's Vucinic).
Man Utd would suit Juve much more. They don't have any wingers on form, which would allow Juve's wingbacks to get forward more and Juve's midfield could definitely dominate Utd's. Their main threat is RVP (and Rooney if he played centrally, but he'd probably be stuck out on the left where he isn't much of a danger), but he plays in Juve's strongest area of the pitch and I'd be confident that the 3 CBs could handle him.
Barca will presumably beat Milan over two legs, but I wouldn't fancy facing either of those teams. Juve could steamroll Milan's midfield, but their front three are scary. I'd love to see how Conte would go about facing Barca. Similarly to Ozil, I could see Messi dropping into Pirlo's area leaving the back three with no one to mark being a problem. I wonder would Bonucci be told to follow him out? I think Juve would be able to threaten Barca though. The likes of Xavi wouldn't fancy tracking Marchisio and Vidal's runs into the box all night.
*pun intended.

Tito is in New York. It's Jordi Roura.

but but Neuer is the best keeper in the world !!!111!111111!
lol, said it over and over again. Neuer is good at exceptional things (things other keepers struggle with) like shots that go on goal with a height of more then 1,5 metre, but he severely lacks the goal keeper basics. over and over again conceides when balls get shot low and conceides often at the short post where the keeper is supposed to lock the door.
