Champions League Draw

To think that Real Madrid would have been in the draw is very disappointing cause they got lucky in the last 16 but Madrid are in a habit of losing chances that are literally given to them. Anyways there are 3 rematches as we can see which are Milan and Bayern and if both Chelsea and Liverpool win their respectable ties they would face each other for the freakin 3rd year!! Also if Liverpool and AC Milan win their ties they would face each other and the 2005 final is reborn Roma and Man U doesn’t really ring a bell but it looks like it will be entertaining.

Predictions:

Milan x Bayern

Milan to go through very easily for some reason I have this feeling and their form aint bad and I believe they can do it.

PSV x Liverpool

Liverpool to go through penalties as I do not want to underestimate PSV because they can do the impossible sometimes.

Roma x Man U

Man U to go through but barely because Roma wont hold back as to my knowledge they havent been this far in a long time and also I dont think they ever lifted the CL trophy.

Chelsea x Valencia

I cant really predict this because both are there and not this season. Not really consistent as Chelsea were a little shaky against Porto and Valencia in the Liga and were a little lucky against Inter so to take a shot in the dark I would say Chelsea being a favorite to advance.

Sad Roberto Carlos quits Real

Roberto Carlos has announced that he will leave Real Madrid at the end of the season. The 33-year-old left back has come in for fierce criticism for his recent performances, and confirmed he would not sign a new contract.

This was very expected from Carlos as this was his worst 2 seasons ever in my mind. First the World Cup goal now the fastest goal in the Champions League. I would like him to stay but I dont see a place for him now and I think the time is right for him to leave as an elite rather than an old forgotten player. Marcelo should take his place but Capello dosent seem to like him because in a lot of games we needed him. Roberto Carlos will always have a place in all Madridistas hearts and will never be forgotten. Much like Zidane, everyone feels something is missing in the team and its hard to forget a player of his prestige. The day Carlos leaves will be a very sad day and I am not really looking forward to it. Bear in mind this was expected unlike Beckham and Zidane.
