The 3 Danger Teams:
AC Milan:
The Italian giants are without a doubt the most dangerous team and both Arsenal and Chelsea will be mortified if they draw them. Milan were unlucky to be drawn into a group with Barcelona and thus were destined to finish second in their group, but that still doesn't mean they will be easy to beat. With world class talent in Ibrahimovic and Alexandre Pato up top, and one of the worlds finest centre halves in Thiago Silva, Milan are without a doubt going to be difficult to beat, especially at the San Siro.
Danger Man - Kevin Prince-Boateng:
The rising Ghanaian star is one of the finest attack minded midfielders in the world right now, and his energy and skill are enough to hurt any team in the world, his goal against Barcelona proved his talent.

Napoli:
The second Italian team to feature but Napoli appearing as runners-up in the hardest group shows that they are ready to take on the best, and if they can beat Man City they can certainly test the London giants. With the formidable attacking trio of Lavezzi, Hamsik and Cavani and a solid central midfield pairing of Gargano and Inler, Napoli have the ability to wipe away nearly any team left in the tournament. However Arsenal and Chelsea could target their back three formation, but they first have to stop their awsome attacking threat first.
Danger Man - Edinson Cavani:
The Uruguayan hitman is almost impossible to stop at this moment in time, Man City certainly couldn't stop him, and its hard to see the shaky defences of both Arsenal and Chelsea handling the striker.
Lyon:
While several of the Russian teams and indeed Marseille another French side may be considered a threats to the English teams, its the ever troublesome Lyon that I believe could be the biggest threat. While they may not have the greatest players in the world, their 7-1 victory in Croatia proved they certainly have class, and they are no strangers to the height of the Champions League knockout stages, and no matter what they will pose a big threat, especially with talented finishers like Batefembi Gomis and Lisandro Lopez they will never run shy of goals.
Danger Man: Batefembi Gomis:
The Frenchman has definitely stated a claim to be at Euro 2012, his 4 goals in Zagreb were part of the fastest Champions League hattrick in history, and he is a born finisher that will scare any defence.
