Barca have to be favourites to win the thing, but I wouldn't go nuts and bet heaps on them.

Inter will make Barca work very hard to win.

Bayern and Lyon have shown they are capable of beating anyone on their day.

If Barca don't under perform in any one of the (potentially) three games, they can be knocked out.
I don't have any assets to bet aside from my watch and cellphone:D

I still think they will reach the final, but anything can happen on a match where the champion is decided

If Barca play well, no-one can stop them.

Whether they will play well in at least one leg of the semi and the final is a different matter.
Will Pique and/or Puyol be back? Milito and Marquez don't convince me at all. Alves is hardly the best defender and Abidal is a potential weak link too. I can see Eto'o, Diego Milito and co. getting some joy in both legs.

At the other end, Inter's defence is much better than Arsenal's. I think it'll be tough for Barca. Most of the team (apart from Messi & Xavi) will have to play better than they did against Arsenal.

I assume both Pique and Puyol will be back from suspension.

I'm not questioning that Barca will have to be better than they were against Arsenal, as they didn't need to be good to win that.

All I'm saying is that Inter will make Barca work for the win. If both Barca and Inter play to their maximum, Barca win.

Inter, unlike Arsenal, are good enough to take advantage if Barca have an off day.

Fair enough. The same goes for Barca and any team in the world.
