The Second Leg of the UEFA Champions' League Quarter final matches could not come at a better time.At least,here in Nigeria,it affords football lovers the chance to take a breather from discussions on election results,celebrations and regrets.That is by the way.
An average football analyst should expect no surprise from Tottenham when they host Jose Mourinho's Real Madrid.With a four-goal deficit,Harry Redknapp's men stand no chance here.
They are sure to meet Barcelona,who after their 5-1 whitewash of lowly Sharktar Donesk,would be forgiven if they field a weakened team.Mirko Lukescu's Sharktar are sure to fight another day.
Formality would be the word when two teams from Germany and Italy meet.With Schalke 04's destruction of Inter Milan at the San Siro,Ralf Rangnick's team would no more be considered underdogs...well,unless Manchester United come to town.
That would happen.With Wayne Rooney's goal at Stamford Bridge,Chelsea have it all to do.They would be written off only at one's peril.
It all makes for great football,then.I can't wait...
