I've not posted something about footie for quite some time. Let see, yes, it's the Champions League Last Sixteen clash. Liverpool is in it and surely I have something to say about it.
The Premiership's big four would have harboured two secret wishes as they are making their way to Athens - keep away from Barcelona and hope to meet Lille. And Manchester got what they wished, and Liverpool? It's a tough task ahead.
The draw was finalized and Koppites, we have the Catalan and reigning champion, Barcelona stand in our way. Yes, it would be Liverpool vs Barcelona in the first knockout round of the last 16. Its a dejavu for me as two of my favourite club (well, Liverpool top the list) will take on each other. Everybody would expect a wonderful performance from both teams as two of world football's magical icon, Steven Gerrard and Ronaldinho will be on the same pitch commanding their team. It would be an understatement to mention that the winner of this match will be crowned this season's champion. To quote how Rafa Benitez was so enthusiast and confident about the match up, we have nothing to lose. We conquered Istanbul few years ago and this time, we are eyeing on Athens.
P.S. Barcelona will have to be really wary of the wily Benitez and the local knowledge he is sure to utilise to the full. Ever heard of the Spanish Revolution Benitez brought? And to beat a Spanish giant should be a walk in the park.
