At 3 o’clock in the morning, I was eager to wake up and couldn’t bear to miss the Uefa Champions League semi-final between Manchester United and Arsenal. In the 2nd leg, Arsenal attacked tremendously well for the first 10 minutes but demoralized after United scored the first goal courtesy of Ji Sung Park. I then began to ponder, what if there wasn’t an away goals rule, would Arsenal have continued attacking with confidence and no hesitation for the remaining 80 minutes plus stoppages? For both legs, the Skysports TV presenter Richard Keys raised a very important question; should Uefa abandon the away-goals rule?

What is an Away-Goals Rule?

The away-goals rule applies for two-legged ties in the knockout rounds like quarter-finals and semi-finals. In the event that both teams drew over two legs, the away team that scored more goals away from home goes through. So for example, if Manchester United drew against Arsenal 0 – 0 in the first leg at home, and drew again 2 – 2 in the second leg away from home. Then by the away goals rule, Manchester United are victorious over two legs and should go through.

Can the Away-Goals Rule be Good?

The good thing is it encourages the away team to score away from home which also means they have to attack against the opposing team at their home territory. Also it adds value to football as an entertainment sport. The home team would prefer to attack and score to avoid any risk and burden of having to score more goals away from home. Thus both teams are forced to attack which can only be good for both supporters.

Can the Away-Goals Rule be Bad?

On the other hand, the away team may not choose to take risk and prefer to play cautious by playing defensively and hitting the home team on the counter-attack. It often happens with teams that have high discipline in defending and efficient on the counter-attack such as the Italian teams, Liverpool and Chelsea.

Some teams like Manchester United, Arsenal and Barcelona prefers attacking football and holding the ball as their main form of defense. Though according to Arsene Wenger, for a team to hold the ball requires participation and strength in order to keep possession. The opposing team as a result tires easily and loses concentration which could be fatal to their overall performance.

Other Rule that could Work

Uefa could consider these rules in place of the current away-goals rule:

1. Replays

Making the knockout rounds one-legged and if both teams drew, a replay of the match shall proceed, similar to the FA Cup. The one disadvantage of this rule is the unfairness to the away team. Since it is one-legged, the team that gets to play at home first will get the advantage. The away team could aim for a draw to bring the tie back to their home advantage.

2. One-Leg Rule

Similar to the MLS ( Major League Soccer) in the US, if both teams drew, it could be sort out by extra time and penalties or maybe penalties.

Should Uefa Abandon the Away-Goals Rule?

So we are back to the original question. At the moment, the rule works perfectly for all the teams in the competition. In fact, in the last decade, the competition has brought some great memories and great disappointments for both sets of fans. A recent example was Andreas Iniesta’s last minute equalizer against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in 2009 semi-final of the Uefa Champions League.

Since the European Cup was made over into the Champions League in 1993, no team from the former Eastern Bloc has claimed the European crown. The only team from the East to have made an impact during that time was Dynamo Kyiv in the late 1990′s.

The 2006/07 Champions League has seen a record six sides from the former Eastern Bloc competing in the group stages. The teams from Eastern Europe include Dynamo Kyiv (Ukraine), Levski Sofia (Bulgaria), Shakhtar Donetsk (Ukraine), Spartak Moskva (Russia) and CSKA Moskva (Russia).

It is unlikely that this seasons winner will come from Eastern Europe (though one of these teams could win it if you take FC Porto as an example), but if you were to pick a team to make an impact on the competition you would have to chose Russia’s CSKA Moskva.

The Russian’s clubs official name is PFC CSKA Mosvka or Professional Football Club – Central Sports Club of Army (Mosvka). Although they are not as successful as some of their Moskva rivals they have still won the old Soviet Championship seven times (1946, 1948, 1951, 1955, 1991), the Russian Cup in 2002, 2005 and 2006, and won the new Russian Premier League title twice in 2003 and 2005.

CSKA became the first Russian club in 2005 to win a major European title as they triumphed in the UEFA Cup. During the final against Sporting Lisbon they came from a goal behind to win the match 3-1.

Ever since they beat Sporting Lisbon on their own ground, nothing has fazed the army team from Moskva. This season CSKA look set to win the Russian title for the second year running as they currently lead with a handful of games remaining and are also on course to make an impact in the Champions League.

Their Coach Valeri Gazzayev has built a solid team centred on a mix of Russian youth and experience with a blend of Brazilian flair. Gazzayev also looks set to lead the Army team to their second successive title this season.

Gazzayev has also benefited from the recent investment in Russian football and has been able to take advantage of Sibneft’s investment. The club received a major financial infusion from a sponsorship deal with Sibneft, an oil company owned by Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich. This investment has meant that CSKA can now compete in the transfer market and also offer competitive wages to help attract players from outside of Russia.

Investment from Sibneft in the Army team has meant that Gazzayev has been able to assemble not just a strong starting XI, but a competitive squad with international players competing in different positions on the pitch.

Gazzayev’s preferred starting XI is in the shape of 3-2-3:

———————Akinfeev———————

A Berezutsky—Ignashevich—V Berezutsky

————–Aldonin————Dudu———–

Krasic—————Carvalho———-Zhirkov

————-Vagner Love——–Jo————–

CSKA have one of the strongest defences in Russia and this is centred on
Akinfeev, who is regarded by many experts to be one of the most promising keepers in Europe. The countries top goalkeeper has a trio of Russian internationals playing in front of him in Sergei Ignashevich and the Berezutsky twins Aleksei and Vassili.

The three man defence is protected by two holding midfielders in Brazilian Dudu and Russia’s captain Evgeni Aldonin. Both players are extremely hard-working and experienced and Dudu’s performances have led to a call up to Dunga’s new look Brazil squad. Bosnian international Elvir Rahimie is also an able deputy for either player.

A three man midfield in employed behind the two strikers with Serbian Milos Krasic and one of Russia’s best young players, Zhirkov, occupying the wings. Both players are pacey and incentive on the flanks and provide defenders with all sorts of problems.

Newly capped Brazilian international Daniel Carvalho plays in the hole behind the strikers. Carvalho was the first foreign player to be named Russian Footballer of the Year after a string of fine performances helped CSKA win the Russian title and UEFA Cup in 2005.

In attack Gazzayev prefers Brazilians Jo and Vagner Love. Jo is only 19 and recently arrived from Corinthians and has made an immediate impact becoming the leagues top scorer. Vagner Love has now settled (since wanting to leave Moskva) in Russia and has netted 29 goals in 73 games to forge a deadly partnership with Jo. Croatian international Ivica Olic is also an able deputy for either.

The Russian champions are growing in confidence with every European campaign and their squad has good international experience and no visible weakness. Their early form in their opening Champions League matches has reflected this. They have managed to hold Arsenal to a 0-0 draw at the Emirates Stadium, beaten them 1-0 at home, overcome German giants Hamburg (also at home) and managed to hold former Champions FC Porto to a draw (in Portugal).

Dynamo Kyiv were the last team from the former Eastern Bloc to make an impact on the Champions League in the late 1990′s. Is this the season when another team from the East makes a serious impact on the Champions League?

The 21-22 February will see the 16 remaining teams in the Champions League battle it out for a place in the coveted final held on 17 May in Paris. The second round fixtures have been decided so here is a run down of who is left in the competition and their chances of progressing to the quarter finals:

Inter Milan vs Ajax

Inter qualified comfortably from Group H as winners and have a favourable match against Ajax. The Dutch side qualified as runners up of Group A without too much trouble. Inter are overwhelming favourites to qualify for the quarter finals and striker Adriano, with four goals so far in this competition, poses the main threat. Manchester City.
Verdict: Inter to qualify at 2/5.

AC Milan vs Bayern Munich

Milan stuttered through the first round, with just three wins in six matches, before eventually topping the group ahead of PSV Eindoven. Andriy Shevchenko is the tournament’s most dangerous striker with six goals. However, Bayern Munich should not be underestimated. They dumped out Arsenal at this stage last season and were only edged out by a single goal against Chelsea in the quarter finals.
Verdict: AC Milan to qualify at 4/6.

Liverpool vs Benfica

The Reds take on the team who dumped Manchester United out of the Cup and are firm favourites to progress to the quarter finals. Liverpool were unbeaten and hadn’t conceded a goal in 11 league and Cup games until Sao Paulo denied them the World Club Championship on 18 December. Benfica’s 2-1 win over Manchester United was a shock result, but one they are unlikely to reproduce. Ronald Koeman’s side are only sixth in their domestic league and are likely to see their interest in the Champions League come to an end at this stage of the competition.
Verdict: Liverpool to qualify at 4/9.

Barcelona vs Chelsea

This was the most “anticipated” draw in terms of a replay of last season’s second phase encounter. Barcelona have won 13 games straight in La Liga, while Chelsea have topped the Premiership since August, losing just one match, against Manchester United, all season. Barcelona have also been unstoppable in Europe, winning five out of the six group. Despite the unquestionable talent at his disposal, Jose Mourinho may find his Chelsea team outgunned this time around.
Verdict: Barcelona to qualify at 5/6.

Lyon vs PSV Eindoven

Lyon are a team not to be underestimated in this season’s Champions League and won their group ahead of the glamorous Real Madrid. John Carew is Lyon’s top goalscorer with four goals while Juninho has laid on three assists. PSV will have their backers but Lyon remained undefeated in the group stage and should edge this encounter.
Verdict: Lyon to qualify at 1/2.

Villarreal vs Rangers

An upset could be on the cards in this encounter with Rangers a large price to qualify ahead of Spaniards Villarreal. Under-fire Rangers boss Alex McLeish may be ridiculously off-the-pace in the Scottish Premier, but he has got it right in Europe and Rangers have become the first side north of the border to venture this far in the competition. Villarreal scored just three times in six group stage matches.
Verdict: Rangers to qualify at 5/2.

Real Madrid vs Arsenal

This is the first time the two have clashed in Champions League and the bookmakers are having difficulty separating them. The Gunners won their five opening matches in the group stage before an experimental line-up drew 0-0 with Ajax in the final round of fixtures. Real Madrid have plenty of attacking power in their line up but are suspect at the back which could be to Arsenal’s advantage.
Verdict: Arsenal to qualify at 10/11.

Juventus vs Werder Bremen

Juventus stormed through the group stage, winning five out of six matches, with David Trezeguet scoring four goals. The “Old Lady” have already beaten and lost to German opposition in the competition this season, with two 2-1 results against giants Bayern Munich in the group stage. Werder Bremen are at their best at home, demonstrated in the 5-1 demolition of Panathinaikos and 4-3 victory over Udinese.

Verdict: Juventus to qualify at 4/11.

The Champions League is undoubtedly the biggest club-side football tournament in Europe. With all the best football teams in Europe together, this tournament is always good.

Wherever in the world you are, you will want to watch the Champions League. If you do not have access to the channels that broadcast the tournament, then you will need an alternative way to watch the Champions League.

Most people watch the games on TV, but if you are after an optional way to watch the games, I advise you consider satellite TV for PC software, where you will get access to the football games live.

The Champions League is my favourite tournament, watching teams such as Barcelona, Real Madrid, Chelsea, Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal and many more battling it out is about as good at football gets.

This years tournament will involve 32 teams from all across Europe, the strongest 32 teams in Europe. Barcelona are currently favourites to take the gold, along with Manchester United and Chelsea.

I hope this hopes you if you do not have any way of watching the games and hope you enjoy the Champions League tournament, I know I will. The knockout games are starting very shortly, teams such as Liverpool and Inter Milan have been paired together, so I look forward to seeing the outcomes of these games.

The Champions League tournament started for the first time in the year 1955. French sports journalist and editor, Gabriel Hanot suggested this continental competition for winners of the European national football leagues.

The competition used a two-leg knockout format. The teams played two matches, one at home, and one on the ground of the opponent. The team with the highest overall score qualified for the next round of the competition. Entry was restricted to the teams that won their national league championships. This qualification system continued until 1992.

In the 1992-93 seasons, the tournament became popular with the name UEFA Champions League. In the year 1997-98, the eligibility changed to include not just domestic champions but also the runners-up. The selection criteria for the winners of the European Cup are, however, not standard.

UEFA Champions League action on Tuesday saw some of Europe’s most famous clubs progress into the knock-out stages of the competition, which is begin in February next year.

It was week 5 of the Group Stages and over in Spain, it has to be said that Manchester United and Villarreal, even though they were two of the teams to progress, produced a pretty boring and uneventful goalless draw. The only good moments came in the first half when a shot by the Portuguese striker Ronaldo produced a great save from Diego Lopez, the Villareal goalkeeper. Lopez deflected the ball onto the bar. Later the Utd’s and England star forward Wayne Rooney produced a cross that was deflected towards the danger area but it came to nothing as the Villareal player Capdevila managed to clear the ball to safety.

The same player, Capdevilla, was also involved in the evening’s most unsavory incident. With just 6 minutes of the game remaining he lunged and produced a rather ugly tackle on another of Man Utd’s star players, Ronaldo. Cadevilla was, quite rightly, given a red card by the referee and he was off to take an early shower.

Unfortunately, it was the end of the road for Glasgow Celtic and Gordon Strachan. Celtic, in the same Group E as Manchester Utd, must have thought they could have gone to Aalborg and got a good result. A win was the only chance Celtic had of staying alive in the competition. However, there will be no more European nights at Celtic’s Park Head stadium this season. There will not even be the consolation of playing in Europe’s second string competition, the UEFA Cup. Celtic will finish last in Group E thanks to a 2 – 1 defeat against the hugely unfancied AaB Aalborg. Not too many people would have put too much money on Celtic finishing last in this group when the draw was first made way back in the summer.

However, the game did start well for Celtic, as they led 1 – 0. But tragedy struck with just minutes remaining as the Celtic player Gary Caldwell could only turn the ball into his own net after a goal mouth scramble. Tears of sadness in the east end of Glasgow, whilst no doubt tears of joy in the city’s west end!

Over to Group F where Lyon, the perennial leaders of their domestic French league, beat the Italians of Fiorentina. Lyon therefore also progress to the last 16 of the competition. Not surprisingly, Lyon will be joined by Bayern Munich in the final stages after they overcame the Romanians of Steau Bucharest at the Allianz Arena. All the big teams are certainly lining line for battle when the Champions League reaches the sudden death stages.

The qualifaction situation is no different in Group G as both Arsenal, losing finalists in 2006 to Barcelona in Paris, and FC Porto, winners in 2004 when their manager was Jose Mourinho before he arrived in the west end of London to manage Chelsea, both made in through to the last 16 with wins over Dynamo Kiev and Fenerbache respectively.

However Arsenal did leave it a little late against Kiev with the winner coming only 3 minutes from the end of the game, scored by Bendtner. That must have come as a huge relief to Arsene Wenger and all connected with Arsenal. Since their excellent win in the Premier League against Man Utd as few weeks ago, which at the time silenced a few critics, it has been nothing but bad news and bad press for Arsenal with more defeats and the William Gallas affair, which resulted in being striped of the captaincy.

Finally on Tuesday evening, two more of Europe’s “Big Guns” made it safely through with the final week of the Group Stages to spare. Both Real Madrid, 9 times winners, and Juventus of Italy confirmed their places in the knock-out stages after Real beat BATE Borisov and Juventus drew 0 – 0 away to Zenit St Petersburg, the current UEFA Cup holders. Unfortunately, the result knocked Zenit out and it now look likely that they will be able to defend the crown they won last season in Manchester against Glasgow Rangers. Although that probably will not be too much of a consolation to them.

Liverpool versus Inter Milan

This game is very important to both sides for entirely different reasons. For Liverpool it is the only competition they can win this season and if they fail to do so then it would leave them just chasing 4th place in the league to look forward to.

For a squad that has been so expensively assembled it would amount to a great disappointment and underachievement. It would also cast a very big doubt on the future of Rafa Benitez not only for next season but for the remainder of this season as well.

Rafa Benitez has been living on the achievement of winning the champions league for far too long as there have been far too many disappointing results in games during his tenure at Liverpool.

They have gone out to a second-string Arsenal team in both the FA cup and League cup in the past, lost to Burnley in the FA cup, beaten by a poor Benfica side in the champions league and just recently the major embarrassment of losing at home to Barnsley.

So this game against Inter Milan gives him a chance for a bit of redemption. Speaking of redemption, Inter Milan are not just playing for themselves but also for the credibility of SerieA as well because it would not do for them to continue to dominate in Italy but losing out to Liverpool in the second round of Champions league.

They are not exactly playing very well either but have been getting the results and they have been very fortunate with some decisions that have gone their way this season as well.

They have to prove to the sceptics at SerieA that they do not need referees favouring them to defeat teams and they also would like to banish the shame they brought on the game last season at Valencia where it turned into a free for all for a lot of players.

It is going to be very difficult as Anfield is a particularly hard place to go to and get a result but all depends on little things here and there.

Rafa Benitez is perhaps more tactically astute than Roberto Mancini and that might come into play but Liverpool never seem to be convincing for 90 minutes. They seem to always start well but them go into their shell and concede a goal.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic almost always seems to hide in games as big as this and it is important that other players like Julio Cruz, Esteban Cambiasso and Patrick Vieira are on their mettle.

Neither team is particularly creative in the midfield and it will be interesting to see how fragile Liverpool’s confidence really is and how Rafa can break down a well organised side or how much influence Zlatan can have on a big game.

Roma versus Real Madrid

Roma are not in good form and they would have to be at their very best to defeat Real Madrid. They have to find a way to pick the correct team for this game as Luciano Spalletti has demonstrated in the past that he is cannot pick the right team for a big game such as this.

Roma’s biggest problem is their lack of defensive nous and it is extremely important for them that Juan is back from injury as without him they would suffer.

They have creativity in abundance and they would need Ametrano Mancini, Daniele De Rossi, Rodrigo Taddei, Franceso Totti, Alberto Aquilani and Simone Perrotta to be all on their game tonight.

Real Madrid on the other hand are a very compact team and possibly the most efficient team in the world today. They still have their fragile moments in defence and their main weakness is on the flanks where both full back, Michel Salgado and Marcello are not up to the standard of Real Madrid quality.

It is a big blow that Robinho would miss this game as he has been electrifying this season and also the central midfield is not quite right to me as Guti is a very creative player but he is not mobile at all and his defensive qualities are non-existent whilst the likes of Wesley Sneidjer, Mahamadou Diarra and Fernando Gago have not been entirely convincing.

It should make for an exciting game though possibly the best of the night in terms of quality if they both play to anywhere near their maximum potential.

Olympiacos Fc versus Chelsea

Olympiacos have been better than usual this season and they may just surprise Chelsea in the first leg.

They do not really have many star players but have a number of excellent players that can hurt Chelsea.

Chelsea, it is reported in some quarters are looking to rest John Terry and Frank Lampard as they have 1 eye on Sunday’s Carling cup final but they still have a number of excellent players to come away with a win.

It all depends on manager Avram Grant as he is almost certain to play Didier Drogba as a lone striker and Olympiacos would have to be wary of him.

Schalke versus Porto

Both teams are in good form and this particular game can go either way depending on how well Schalke can put away the chances they create tonight and if they can manage to keep a clean sheet.

Porto are leading their league quite comfortably but are not always the best travellers in Champions league. They also seem to capitulate when things are going awry but they have enough quality to snatch an away win at a very intimidating atmosphere.
