Tottenham Have Team Chemistry to Win in Pre-Season

Tottenham Battle Liverpool For European Supremacy

Great games of football have come and gone over the course of the sport’s history, but as every single year passes us by, the standard seems to get higher and higher – as you’d probably expect. This season things have been no different, as the domestic seasons across Europe continue to come to an end. As we look ahead to this weekend it’s pretty clear to see that there is one major game left on the calendar before we head into the summer,

Bohemians Look a Solid Bet to Pick Up Home Win

Barcelona Can Take Advantage to Anfield From First Leg

Of the four teams remaining in the Champions League, these two are the two favourites to win the tournament and also the two biggest clubs remaining. Barcelona are one of the biggest clubs in the world, but if you are being critical about the Spanish giants over anything then it is probably the number of Champions League titles that has been converted into.

Liverpool are aiming to peak over the next few years,

Ajax Capable of Causing Shock at Tottenham

We have just four teams remaining in the Champions League, and two of them are set to battle it out starting on Tuesday. That pair are Tottenham and Ajax, and if you’d told someone at the start of the Champions League that these two would be meeting each other in the semi finals, they would more than likely have laughed loudly at the thought of that. However, after a tournament full of shocks, here we are now and one of these two will be in the final next month.

Despite Missing Key Players, City Can Pick Up Champions Cup Victory

City to Show Strength against Spurs in Champions League

A simply massive night at the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday when Manchester City host Tottenham in the Champions League. The prize for the club getting through is a place in the semi finals of the competition, joining Barcelona, Ajax and then probably Liverpool, who hold an advantage for their trip to Porto which is also on Wednesday.

Whoever progresses from this tie will see this as a golden opportunity, and certainly their best to win the Champions League for some years.

Juventus to Finish Off Ajax in Italy

Juventus host Ajax in their Champions League quarter final second leg game on Tuesday, with the tie still in the balance. However, after drawing 1-1 in Holland, there is no doubt that Juventus have the upper hand here, going back home and aiming to make the semi finals. That would be the bare minimum for the Italian side this season, they are once again dominating Serie A, but more is needed if they are to really be successful.

Manchester United to Perform on the Big Stage and Beat Barca

The Champions League is back this week and on Wednesday night the tie of the night is certainly the one that takes place at Old Trafford. Manchester United host Barcelona in the first leg of this tie, with the second game coming towards the end of the month in Spain.

If United are to cause an upset here, then they more than likely have to take something from this game to defend in Spain with them.

Dominant City to Beat Spurs in Champions League First Leg Clash

With four of the eight clubs remaining in the Champions League being English, the odds on an all-English tie were pretty big. That is exactly what we got, one of the four ties features two English clubs and that is this game featuring Tottenham and Manchester City.

In the first leg on Tuesday, Spurs host Manchester City and with how good City are at home, it is highly likely that Tottenham need to take something with them if they are to come out on top of the two legged tie.

Can Liverpool Defy The Odds Against Bayern Munich?

The UEFA Champions League is considered to be the premier competition in club football for a reason: all of the best teams compete in it, and that’s the kind of argument you can’t even really fight back against. There are certainly some world class teams spread across a variety of different continents, but in truth, they can’t really compare and we aren’t just saying that for the sake of it. As such, a lot of fans are excited to see how things unfold between now and May as we take the next few steps towards discovering who will play in the final in Madrid.

Manchester City Face Schalke In Big UCL Second Leg

Football isn’t always a simple game, and when we say ‘isn’t always’ we mean it’s never a simple game. There is often no rhyme or reason for why things happen the way that they do in the beautiful game, and because of that, it’s not always beautiful. Take the UEFA Champions League as an example. Some would look at that competition and see nothing more than a parade of world class football clubs flaunting their excellence every few months.

PSG to Beat United Again for Quarter Final Place

PSG host Manchester United in the second leg of their Champions League tie on Wednesday night and going into this game it is the French side that hold the upper hand. They have a 2-0 lead to look after in front of their home fans, which makes them huge favourites to qualify for the quarter finals.

We have seen huge Manchester United performances in Europe in the past when they were managed by Sir Alex Ferguson and if United are to qualify here,

Should big clubs be playing much smaller clubs in their pre-season friendlies?

Home Advantage Gives Dortmund a Chance to Shock Spurs

With a 3-0 lead for Tottenham going into the second leg of their Champions League tie with Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday, many are labelling the tie as being over already. However, I wouldn’t be so sure myself, especially if the German side can get an away goal.

During the first leg, after an even first half, Tottenham came to life in the second and blew the German club away. It was disappointing from Dortmund,

Manchester City to Take Control of Champions League Tie in Germany

the final of three games between Premier League and Bundesliga teams is this clash between Manchester City and Schalke. It is the only tie that has the English team playing away from home first, but despite that this is the only tie where the English team is odds on to win. Manchester City will be looking to use their dominance to take a lead home with them from this tie, and that would really put them in the driving seat as far as qualification to the next round goes.
