Champions league predictions March 2nd week and the week that went by

The week that went by was magnificent, apparently I am writing this blog the same week
that Messi scored a fiver against hapless, poorlings Bayern Leverkusen,

What stuns me about Barca is that the finds of their youth system, change the game everytime they come,

Their resumes are not very appealing, indeed forgettable till they get picked for the senior team, which should be renamed, BARCA Legends.

Im talkin about Christian Tello, he's a striker, played his first champions league game against the Germans in the return leg, this week, scored twice.

Agreed, the kind of thru balls that come from the mid-field via the precision feather-touch of Fabregas and Xavi are caked with chocolate, and cherries on it and look deeply in your eyes and say,"Put me in the net...!!!" pheww..

But still you have to finish them, and he did it with a professional assassin like meticulousness, and the boy is the replacement for injured Alexis Sanchez...

All this with David Villa still absent due to surgery.

Anyways, Arsenal made a daring comeback at the Emirates looking to topple AC MIlan, now Milan are a good attacking side, they are doing a good job must be said, looking to shake their Retirement home like roster, and replacing them with, well people nearing their retirement still but, with a hunger to do justice to their colossal talents for one last time at a big club.

Arsenal have one striker, one winger and promising quality for a good in rest of the areas of the pitch for a superlative relegation side, but they do not simply have the resources at their disposal, for a piece of silverware, as Wenger's face from the innumerable snaps in the decade before will show you.

Their club is a farming system for richer clubs that seek talent and seriously invest for silverware, and that hurts any gunners fans.

Chelsea is a joke, and suddenly my mind adds, as always, Ima blues fan, but what is happening at the bridge is nothing close to ridiculous, it is just plain insane, Im pretty sure the Joker would have been a better owner to manage the club's ambitions.

They have a sitting duck in the 50mn$ Torres, and a whole lot of grand-old men of English football, anyways, im preety sure Abramovich's fav book must be,"Old Men and the Bridge"

after going 3-1 to Napoli, away, I do not have great hopes for them till Drogba and the wingers rise from the ashes, except Mata, everybody else have been a painful dozen to watch.

About Benfica and APOEL, great job getting into the quarters, now lets see you get into the Semis :)

And Real Madrid look like a real promising dangerous side this season, that's until, the lose their cool and their heads usually in the second halves of important matches and throw the game away.

The only side in with a realistic shot of stopping them if Mourinho and Co so decide are Barca and vice versa.

It will be absolutely delightful to see these two teams, mighty clubs, with humungous talents and some with egos as well, square off at any stage of the tournament, preferably the finals.

Why the finals, cos then i can see Million dollar baby, Cristiano Ronaldo cry cause he could'nt make a difference in his Armani ass..but due respect to the man, if Mourinho uses that wily old brain of his, the Galacticos II will certainly make it, atleast to the finals, which is where they are headed this season, already pocketing the La Liga title from their arch rivals this season
