Real Madrid:
Anderlecht already played against the Spanish Champion last year in the second round of the CL. RSCA lost in Bernabeu with a heavy 4-1 result.

Madrid is the biggest candidate to win the CL and with players like Zidane, Figo, Raul and Roberto Carlos is this possible.

AS Roma:
Also AS Roma is going to be difficult. The Mauves has to play against the Italian Champion. RSCA had to play against Lazio Roma in the second round. AS Roma has beaten RSCA in 1990 with 6-2...

Lokomotiv Moscow:This team is the most unknown. A victory is possible on paper, but we have to wait and see, certainly because of the away game in Russia.
Moscow isn?t certain of their participation in the CL because there is a problem with their qualifying game against Tirol.
