Mouth Watering!!

As you might know last year's most interesting clash in the Champions League saw Chelsea face Catalans Barcelona in what was expected to be a thriller... And it didnt leave any of the football fans disappointed... Chelsea ultimately won the 2 legged clash 5-4 on aggregate... The West Londoners went down 2-1 in the 1st leg in the majestic Camp Nou... But were on top in the 2nd leg at Stamford Bridge when they raced to a 3-0 lead within the 1st 20 mins.. Barca were clueless and looked upto their talismanic Brazilian Ronaldinho who brought them right back into the game with a well executed penalty and a sublime goal that could be watched over and over again... A toe poke as pundits would put it left Petr Cech rooted to the ground as he made the scoreline 3-2 Barca though would have won if the score had stood that way because of the 2 away goals that they managed to score.. However that was not to be as Chelsea captain John Terry headed home to lead Chelsea to a famous victory over their opponents... Chelsea though were ultimately dumped out in the semis by eventual champions Liverpool...

This year's Champions League draw has made people jump with excitement... Chelsea face Barca again... Deja Vu!! And there are a lot of other mouth watering ties... For the 1st time in European football history we will see Arsenal facing Real Madrid... And AC Milan facing Bayern Munich... Liverpool though i must say have a rather straight forward tie against Portuguese side Benfica who dumped Man UTd unceremoniously from the competition... French Champions Lyon will be looking for revenge against Dutch Champs PSV Eindhoven as Lyon were thrown out last year by PSV in a penalty shoot out if i am not mistaken... And we will see 1st timers Rangers facing another first timer Villareal.... A bit tough to predict but i hope Rangers go on cause i love 'em... And then we have Italian Champions Juventus facing German stronghouse Werder Bremen though the Bianconeri will be expected to move on especially after Bremen's drubbing last year at the hands(legs rather!!) of Lyon... Lyon won 10-2 on aggregate last year... Bremen will be hoping to put up a much improved performance though... And last but not the least Italian powerhouse Inter will face former champs Ajax Amsterdam... Ajax though are a young team and will be hoping to thwart Inter...
