Milan Vice-President Adriano Galliani hopes his side will avoid Barcelona in Munich’s Champions League draw on Friday December 15.

The Rossoneri will play Lille at the San Siro on Wednesday, but have already qualified for the last 16 as the winners of Group H.

“We hope we can avoid Barcelona in the next round,” said Galliani on Wednesday evening.

“We already met them last year, but I believe they are the most dangerous opponents we could find in the next round.

“However, we also have a 20 per cent chance of finding Real Madrid,” added the former Lega Calcio chief.

“Eto’o and Ronaldinho? They are great players that along with Lionel Messi form the strongest attack in the world – but they are impossible transfer targets for us,” he concluded.

I would pick Lyon as the one to face but this season we are underdogs against both teams (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Of course we still have the name but ability wise... The year before we won CL we lost to Hapoel Tel-Aviv!!! in 1/4 (first leg) of the uefa cup and then we were beaten hard by Dortmund in 1/2 (I think it was 4:1 or something).

Yes, we could be beaten, we have flaws, as all teams do, but we are rightfully labeled 'European Giants' .. To say we are underdogs bcz of our form this season, is degrading, considering, there is no team filled w/ champions as Milan. Each player we have has won at least one major title. Experience ( hell of a lot ) .. And one of the richest clubs there is .. Which team, other than Madrid, can be considered European Giants ?

Lyon ? Chelsea ? (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

We have a weak squad now, that I agree w/ but we are no underdog ..

We always will be European Giants like Madrid, Barca, Manchester, Juve...

Again when I say underdogs I refer to ability. Every big team has downfalls. Barca had something like 5-6 bad years when they weren't in CL or were beaten in a group stage. Dinamo kiev beat them 3:0 at home and 4:0 away!!. They still were European Giants but they were playing like sh!t. They have come back because they are a big team (money , tradition...) and they are now one of the best teams in the world. We had many bad years either. We still were European Giants. You can't alway be on top. This yaer we are having a bad year and there are many teams that are better ans that's makes us underdogs vs teams like Chelsea who are clearly better then us this season. The good thing is that this situation is temporary.

I understand our situation is dire and above all temporary .. I understand what ur trying to say by saying underdogs that we are expected to loose.

What I am trying to say is that when teams face us; they play with a ten man defence, how could we be underdogs ?

In Europe, our record (although it's pointless to have a record and no team to make it stand, none-the-less...) is the envy of ALL the teams, we are as consistent as can be. Maybe we wont make it past the next round; but even so, we will enter as European Giants against any team that we may face .. We might loose 6-0 and the team that beats us will be proud of it, as they know that they have beaten Milan .. Not an underdog team ..
