I can hardly wait for the exciting round of football fixtures spread over the next week. It's coming down to an epic finale in all 3 major European leagues, and all my teams are in with a real good shout!
Roma - After beating Inter at home last Saturday, they're a mere point behind the Nerazzurri, and both teams are on a collision course in the Coppa Italia.
Manchester United - They're actually leading the table, albeit by a mere point over Chelsea whom they face this weekend. Oh, and they're also hosting Bayern Munich on the return leg of the Champions League quarterfinal come Wednesday. Mouth-watering? You betcha!
Barcelona - In what could perhaps go down as the greatest two-horse race in the history of the Primera Liga, Real Madrid and Barca are separated by mere goal difference with both teams holding incredible home records. Then there's Barca's match against Arsenal at the Nou Camp in midweek. I sooo hope they win so I can at least be spared of my housemate's outbursts during midweek. Lol.
With Chelsea and Madrid out of the Champions League, I'm truly loving this years contest on the European stage. The draw was perfect as well, with a rematch of last season's finals on the cards again. If that does happen (and God I pray it does), my pick once again will be Barcelona, because I believe it's the least they deserve for the beautiful, entertaining football they play. As for United, well like I said at the start of the season to some of my friends - they've got a team good enough to win the Premiership, but not the Champions League. Open the checkbooks, Fergie..
