Real Madrid vs Tottenham- Champions League Quarter Final 1st Leg preview

This is undoubtedly one of the biggest nights in the history of Tottenham Hotspur football club. For the first time in their history Spurs have made it to the Quarter Final stage of the Champions League, and tonight they will be travelling to none other than the home of Real Madrid, the Santiago Bernabeau. Tottenham fans and players alike will be unbelievably proud that their team has managed to silence their critics and advance into the latter stages of the world’s most coveted competition in club football.

UEFA Champions League

Will Tottenham's dream continue? Will it finally be Chelsea's year? Who's turn is it to become the European Champions? 

So, now we know, the real talk can begin, the Quarter and Semi Final draws for the 2011 UEFA Champions League have taken place. We now have a better idea of who will have the tougher challenge if they wish to write themselves into the history books, and lift the most coveted trophy in World Club Football.

The ties are as follows, Tottenham will have to beat Real Madrid if they wish to continue their unbelievable Champions League adventure, Barcelona have the tricky task of having to go to Ukraine to face Shakhtar Donetsk, Inter Milan will face off against German side Schalke 04 and last but not least, Manchester United will have to battle past Chelsea in an all English tie if they want to match last season’s performance of reaching the Semi Final stages.

Chelsea vs FC Copenhagen (2-0 Agg)

Champions League 2^nd Round 2^nd Leg Preview (16-03-2011)

After a shaky mid season for Chelsea, they seem to be getting back to their best. Although their charge for the Premier League trophy may have been affected by their dip in form, they’ve still got a great chance to advance into the quarter finals of the Champions League at Stamford Bridge later tonight. Since their FA Cup exit to Everton just under a month ago, Chelsea have had three good results, they managed to roll over Copenhagen in Denmark winning by two goals to nil. They’ve also beaten Manchester United and Blackpool in the league, 2-1 and 3-1 respectively.

Manchester United vs Marseille (0-0 Agg)

Champions League 2^nd Round 2^nd Leg Preview (15-03-2011)

Manchester United will be going into this game brimming with confidence after a good win over Arsenal in the quarter finals of the FA Cup, with what was a relatively weakened side. Sir Alex Ferguson will be looking to bring Nani and Michael Carrick back into first team action and possibly hand Antonio Valencia his first start since he broke his leg towards the beginning of the season. This will be a welcome boost for a Manchester United side that ‘hasn’t been at their best’ for the majority of the season, and now with just 2 months of it left, it would appear they are now at full strength in attack.

Win or Bust

Just something I typed up in about an hour, hope you enjoy it! Before I start I just want to say well done to Tottenham, honestly thought they didn't have a chance against Milan, now hopefully you draw Barcelona in the next round!

I've been an Arsenal fan for as long as I can remember. I’m almost certain my dad sat me down before I could walk or talk and just drummed into me that I would be an Arsenal fan. I have memories of being a small child and having Arsenal wallpaper, Arsenal posters, Arsenal Shirts, Arsenal Shorts and Arsenal Socks. If Arsenal had made an everyday product into some sort of merchandise with their name or badge stamped on it, the chances are, I had it. Arsenal is all I know, I live and breathe Arsenal Football Club and I have done for my whole life. I've experienced the highs of our double winning team in 1998 and ‘The Invincibles’ of 2004, to the lows of losing out in a Champions League final  and experiencing five seasons without a trophy.
