Since September so many things has
happened in the world of soccer, some of which are the qualifications of Bayern
Munich, Barcelona, Real Madrid and Juventus for the semifinal stages of the UEFA
Champions League.
This league in the
quarter final stages has proved again why we love football with Bayern Munich
turning a 3-1 goal deficit at Allianz Arena with a full force of attack against
FC Porto. This is why football is indeed the game of the
champions.
Like I posted on twitter that "no
be who first call police dey win case." The situation with FC Porto says it all.
For many people, from the first leg last week, it looked like a competition had
come to an end for Bayern Munich. But a 6-1 turn over haha! Was definitely not
scripted.
Real Madrid wanted it at all cost thus the
starting position was given to Chicharito which finally yielded result at the
88th minute of the game. The other Madrid (Athletico) had a plan
of going into extra Time but alas! The sending away of Adnan Turan gave Real
Madrid the break they wanted
FC Barcelona whew! What can we do
with a team that has a combination of Neymar Jr, Luis Suarez and Lionel Messi? I
leave that for you to answer. Their display against Paris Saint Germain (PSG)
home and away was pure class. If I have never seen Andres Iniesta play over and
over, I would have thought this guy isn't over 30 years of age. One thing is
sure, the semis are going to be interesting.
Now to Juventus, I didn't see the
first leg against Monaco but this second leg was a boring fest. Personally, I
think they won't go beyond the semis. But some think
otherwise.
So far, it’s been interesting and
it promises to be more interesting as it gets to its climax. Amongst the last
four, I think three of them are truly deserving (pardon me Juventus) .Will Real
Madrid break the jinx? Well, well your guess is as good as
mine.
Enjoy your weekend.
The semi final fixtures is the final nail on the coffin for juventus as you have said but will it be a record breaking for Real Madrid??
