I'd prefer Real in the final. With Bayern, I think we've seen how much of a chess-match those games are. And on any given night really, it all comes down to who scores the one goal.
For pure entertainment, I'd like to see us play Real, who arguably have the best team in the world. I'd like to see our boys go toe to toe with Zizou, Figo, Roberto Carlos, Raul, et al.
Games against Real would be more of a shoot-out; I reckon we have a better defense than they have which is quite amazing. Also, I think we stand a better chance of winning that series.
I don't think Liverpool will win against Bayer. I'm amazed at how confident they are approaching the second leg in Germany, against a strong team which they didn't play that well against at home. A Smicer goal? I'd hardly call that cause for confidence.
Also, Barca should sweep aside Panathinakos at Nou Camp. Barcelona will be under a ton of pressure to perform in front of the home crowd as grab some silverwear this season. The coach is most likely a goner during the summer so he be fighting doubly hard to get the full 3 points.
