The Champions League returns this week, and it’s not just the English teams that will be desperate for success next May. Of course, Chelsea, and Roman Abramovich in particular, won’t rest until the trophy with the big ears is taking pride of place in the Stamford Bridge trophy cabinet, and how Arsene Wenger would love to be the first manager in Arsenal’s history to topple Europe’s elite.
But no, the two teams with a major point to prove this year come from slightly further afield. It’s high time both Real Madrid and Inter Milan went on a decent run and gave the four English side’s something to worry about. It’s time for the excuses to stop. Inter were easily brushed aside by Manchester United last season, whilst Madrid have failed to get past the second round for a number of years. Not good enough.
Real’s galactico’s need to hit the ground running, whilst Mourinho’s new signings Eto’o and Sneijder will surely add the spark that they’ve been missing for the last few years. Come on, give us a competition worth watching.
