Playing Punter (The Return Leg): The Result Show

A better showing this round than in the first leg. 5 out of 8 outcomes correct is not bad. My next challenge would be to try to get a few scores (or goal margins) correct. Then, and only then, can I parlay this hobby into a potential financially rewarding exercise. Look out, Score!

The draw for the quarterfinals is on Friday. What I would like to see (for general entertainment value and to increase likelihood of having an unobjectionable semi-final line-up) are the following match-ups:

Chelsea vs AC Milan (or Inter Milan)
Liverpool vs PSV (or Bayern Munich)
Bayern Munich vs Juventus (or Liverpool)
Lyon vs Inter Milan (or Juventus)

Let's see how close I get to my wishlist.
