Though the game between Liverpool and Barcelona drew the biggest reaction at the draw, this match-up has the potential to be a classic encounter that could well produce the eventual winner. Inter Milan were the biggest beneficiaries of Juve’s demotion to Serie B, scooping the signings of Patrick Viera and Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Inter also strengthened their already huge squad by poaching Hernan Crespo from Chelsea, and World Cup revelation Fabio Grosso, from Palermo.
Despite being recognised as one of Italy’s biggest clubs, Inter have been serial under-performers, failing to go further than the quarter-finals of the Champions League in its current format. All that could change however, as Inter are dominating Serie A, stringing together a league record 15 game winning streak. If their slightly dodgy defence holds up, they have the best opportunity of success in Europe’s biggest domestic competition since the double success of the 60’s.
Valencia were many pundits dark horses before the group stages, and they didn’t disappoint, winning Group D before their final fixture in Rome. The club have excellent recent European pedigree failing in consecutive Champions League finals of 2000 and 2001, whilst winning the UEFA Cup in 2004. Guided by Quique Flores, the side is brimming with many of the stars that were expected to help the Spanish national side to shed its ‘under-performer’ tag at the World Cup. David Villa, one of the hottest properties in La Liga, has forged an exceptional partnership with Fernando Morientes, revitalised after a nightmare spell at Liverpool; the pair already have eight goals in the competition.
