  20. got to hand it to Bilbao - really good to have got­­ where they are now, but this year belongs to Barca.­­ They'll do what Man Utd failed to do last year:­­ League, the major domestic cup AND the Champions­ League­ - oh, and I'll fancy them to beat Shakhtar­ or­ Bremen in the Uefa Super Cup (something Man Utd­ lost to­ Zenit) WITHOUT FORGETIN THE CLUBS WORLD CUP.
