What We Learned From Today’s Champions League
It’s easy to harp about Barcelona and Real Madrid being better then everyone else. One of the many reasons why is because they are confident with being arrogant. Simply put Manchester United got what they deserved, crashing out of the Champions League. Manchester United didn’t beat Benfica or FC Basel in any of their four games.
Speaking on FC Basel, what a great performance. It’s amazing how FC Basel basically slapped Manchester United in the mouth with the early goal. Usually that wakes up a sleeping giant but Manchester United just couldn’t raise there game to match FC Basel.
I’m not going to go on about Manchester United thinking something is really wrong. Let’s not sound the alarm bells here. The last time Manchester United crashed out in the group stage of the Champions League (also with Benfica in their group) two years later they won the Champions League. Right now Manchester United have players who are on the team based on potential rather they players who deserve to wear the shirt week in and week out cause of talent on that day.
With Manchester City also crashing out is the EPL still the best league in Europe? As someone I follow on twitter wisely said so much for Ashley Young, Gareth Barry, James Milner leaving Aston Villa for Champions League football.
What a mix of emotions right now if you are a Ajax and Lyon fan after Lyon turned around a 7 goal difference to advance at the expensive of Ajax.
You are damn right I’m betting against Ajax this weekend
Real Madrid is just scary good right now. With Barcelona and Real Madrid playing like this I’m giddy for this Saturday.
