As we are down to the last 4 teams in Europe and a very exciting looking final , who ever is in it , I thought it would be fitting to start off my blogging exploits with the Champions League run in ...
Firstly looking at the semi-final tie between Real Madrid and FC Barcelona .
I think we can all agree that the fact of 5 El Clasico's in one season can be a little taxing on fans , especially for supporters of the two spanish giants , but for some reason I feel that this still hasn't taken anything away from such an enormous rivalry . I'm not sure if its the fact that in Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo , Barca and Madrid have two players who are arguably the best of all time , or the fact that 8 of the 11 players featured in FIFA's team of the year will be involved in this encounter . It may even just be the History of the two clubs and their fierce rivalry , but one thing is for certain , this tie will be mercurial.
Next we have 3 time European champions Manchester United taking on German side Schalke 04 , who de throned current holders Inter Milan with a resounding 7-4 aggregate scoreline .
After last nights destruction of the Germans by Manchester United ended only 2-0 after a superb individual performance from young goalkeeper Manuel Neuer , I really can't see Schalke having any chance of getting through, especially with a second leg at Old Trafford where United have only dropped two points in the league this season.
I personally predict a Barcelona - United final.
