I'm not too sure about Real Madrid... They've been screwing up much in the spanish league this season, and I belive they've been bruised some in the CL as well (I haven't really paid much attention to football this season).
I have more faith in Barcelona, at least if they can continue the flow they're on now.

I havent been following Soccer lately because it isnt on TV here much anymore, and I was surprised when I found out that UEFA cup now has a group stage before the knockout rounds. Why is this?
And what is the point of the UEFA Cup? The teams in it are obviously not good enough to be in the Champions League...

UEFA cup is for all national cup winners and for the teams who are placed behind the best in every national league. (The better the league is valued, the more teams are allowed to participate in the UEFA cup....4 at maximum though...)
First round of UEFA cup is still an elemination round.
After that, 40 teams are left, which were splitted in 8 groups of 5 teams. Now every team plays ONE game against all other 4 teams in their groups. After that, the 3 best teams of each group (24 teams) go up for 3rd round.
Group system has the advantage, that every team now has at least 4 games in that tournament, which means 4 times money from tv and from the supporters..

Quote: CL: Intermilan- Dinamo Kiev
I agree with Inter being in the final, especially with the form they are in, but im not sure where u got Dinamo Kiev from, they have been playin pretty good, but i doubt they will be able to match barca, juve or milan. These four teams i believe will definatly go far, how far i do not know, it all depends on form, but potentially i believe one of the teams will be crowned champion, hopefully inter!
Chelsea and Manchester look to be in strong form, but not a commanding one, and Arsenal look to be in all sorts of trouble maybe being eliminated at the group phase.
