DEPORTIVO DRAW MANCHESTER UNITED, LILLE AND OLYMPIAKOS PIRAEUS

 CHAMPIONS LEAGUE: MANCHESTER UNITED 

What to say about Manchester United? They have dominated British football in the last years and won the Champions League in 1999 against Bayern Munich. Without a doubt Manchester United will be a tough opponent to beat. Sir Alex Ferguson will have his last year on the bench at Manchester, and the players will want to give him another Champions League title. They already had a squad with players like Barthez, Stam, Keane, Scholes, Giggs, Beckham, Cole and Yorke. Added this year were players like Verón and Van Nistelrooy.

 CHAMPIONS LEAGUE: LILLE 

Lille had the surprise of the day when they beat AC Parma 0-2 in Italy, and managed to go through to his phase after just losing 0-1 at home in the return match. This will mean that the other clubs will know what to expect. Coach Halilhodzic got promotion with Lille 2 years ago and finished third last season. Best players are central defener Cygan, wanted by several European clubs. Besides him, also D'Amico and Bassir (ex-Deportivo) are of their best players. Lille will surely make a surprise impact this season.

 CHAMPIONS LEAGUE: OLYMPIAKOS PIRAEUS 

Olympiakos Piraeus are one of the biggest clubs in Greece, together with rival Panathinaikos. With players like Karembeu, Djordjevic, Zé Elias and Giovanni they have enough players to give them European quality. Together with Elefthereropoulos as goalkeeper, new signing Bermúdez of Boca Juniors and Zetterberg in midfield, Olympiakos Pireause will be a team hard to beat. Especially in Athens.
