The most interesting battle is Arsenal – Milan, as for me. Young talents against very experienced players + Kaka! Who will go to the quarterfinal? I think this depends on managers mostly. If Arsen Wenger can overcome Karlo Anchelotti in tactics and the whole strategy on two matches, then Gunners will break through to the next round. And vice versa :)

I would have to agree. It is the most enticing on paper. Milan are so strong in Europe -- they seem to care much more about the CL than Serie A.

The other intriguing match up for me is Liverpool/Inter. If Liverpool don't win things could get really ugly for them.
