Champions League is back


Champions league is back with a bang, with a big victory for Tottenham against the Italian giants AC Milan. Today, its the biggest fixture of this years champions league. Arsenal face their arch Spanish rivals Barcelona in the Emirates and with the return of Nasiri, Arsenal are confident enough to beat the Catalan giants this time. Last year, when the two teams faced in the champions league, Arsenal were humiliated by 6-3 in aggregate, with a 4-1 win for Barcelona at Nou Camp. This year, Arsenal are one of the potential contenders for the title, following Manchester United in EPL. Later yesterday, Tottenham dominated the whole game at San Siro and they were rewarded with an away goal, thanks to an elegant and crisp finish from Peter Crouch. It will be a mountain task for AC Milan, since they will be missing their key midfield player, Gattuso, after he received a yellow, which ruled him out of the second leg at White Hart Lane. Schalke 04 managed to level the game at Mestalla and Valencia have to travel to the German side carrying an away goal lead from Schalke.
