Champions League scores
The first wave of quarterfinal legs are in the books. Click below for the scores...
Arsenal grabbed a 2-nil edge in Highbury over Juventus, which finished the match with only nine men. Fabergas and Henry netted for the home side. Juve's task in Turin next week will be made even more difficult due to suspensions to Vieira, Zebina and Camoranesi in the return leg.
Meanwhile, Barcelona and Benefica battled to a scoreless draw. Barcelona returns to the Nou Camp emptyhanded knowing that a road goal for Benefica next week could prove disastrous for their title hopes.
Up tomorrow, Lyon v. AC Milan and Inter v. Villarreal.

Of the teams from Italy, Juve is top pick. I would still rather see Arsenal follow Liverpool to give England two Champions League titles in a row.

Arsenal are playing out of there minds right now in the Champions League. Henry is to good, since there out of the Epl Champions League is all they got. So I would bet against them. Barca on the other hand are high up there to win the whole thing. But Ronaldinho can be quite when they need him, still always dangerous. Barca's Defense is I think a little on the uneasy side as well as sometimes they show signs of miscomnication and confusion.

Barcelona will win easily next week, since they are playing at home. they should of score like 4 goals in the first leg and that was at Benfica's place, imagine what could happen in the nou camp.
