Semifinals

UEFA fever is gripping everywhere today. It is clash of titans in all manner. Currently the four best teams are battling out of the ultimate prize in club football, UEFA Champions League Trophy. The teams playing are very intimidating. FC Barcelona are always favorites to lift any cup they are playing. Only some miracles or blunders deny them the win. But Real Madrid in the recent past have shown they can challenge their supremacy, having beaten them in the semifinals of Copa Del Rey and the La Liga fixture. The German giants, FC Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund are second to none. Bayern has been in scintillating form having completely destroyed Juventus over the two legs, comprehendingly winning both the matches. Borussia Dortmund are no surprise package. They are the former Bundesliga Champions and German Cup winners too. They are on a high as well as they are the only side who are unbeaten in this Champions League campaign. One is better than the other in every manner. No surprises who ever wins, as they deserve to. But Barcelona, being the best team in the world in recent years, have an extra edge. Will they be able to save it and proceed to the once again Wembley final where they have won it every time? In 1992, they won the Champions League trophy. In 2011, they beat Manchester United to lift the prize. Will they lift it for the third successive time at Wembley or any of the three others have it in them to stop the Catalan Giants? All is there to be seen in the two legs that will be taking place from 23rd April/ 24th April and 30th April/ 1st May. Support your team wholeheartedly, because they are going to need it. We all are going to need it.
