Panithinaikos ar
e Greek Champions and leaders this season, but have only 2 points in the CL through 0-0 draws with Rubin Kazan. Disappointing for their fans who surely would have thought they had a chance of second place to FCB. Instead, they will have to get their joy from their basketball team who have been European Champions 4 times in the last decade. Gone are the days of worrying about the Greek yeams being carried to victory by their excitable fans. Quite simply the teams in the Greek league cannot compete alongside the "big" leagues for the signatures of players. So the possibility of a surprise Pana win is limited, indeed the possibilities of any surprises in the modern CL are severely limited. Yes, we know last season's final was "little" Inter Milan v "little" Bayern Munich, but surely our surprise at that being the final was the surprise if you know what I mean.
We now have a 3+1 league system of England, Spain & Italy + Germany which doesn't show any signs of abating.

FCB will go into this match already knowing whether Copenhagen have won at Rubin Kazan (k.o. 1830hrs Spanish time), therefore seriously threatening their first place and almost guaranteed easy knockout stage match. The Catalan club have no injuries apart from Milito so expect Guardiola to at least start the match with his strongest XI. Maybe the only question to be answered is whether Keita or Pedro starts.
Prediction:
Panithinaikos 1-3 FCB.
Yeah I know FCB won 0-8 at Almeria, but how may people saw that coming?
