UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE

im blogging now..because i cant sleep...why am i sleeping so early?...well..during the holidays...11 o'clock is early in my opinion... im sleeping because there is a UEFA Champions League Football Match later...at 2 30 am...so im just preserving my energy...so that i will be more awake when watching it later.... i wun wanna b sleeping halfway through the match...

Anyways...the match im gonna watch later is... FC Porto V Liverpool FC...at the Estadio do Dragao Stadium in Portugal....This is one of the opening matches of this season's Champions League Tournament... and Liverpool FC are one of the favourites wo win the tournament..after getting to 2 Finals in 3 years.... Now that is a rather difficult feat to achieve in mordern-day football..

In case some of you who don't know what the champions league is...it is actually a club football tournament...featuring the finest teams in Europe...where they will battle it out for the Champions League Trophy and claim the right to be Kings/Champions of Europe ... If you are looking for a tournament which features all the world famous football players in the world?...well...the Champions League is THE tournament....Throughout its history..it has seen great players lift the trophy...such as Zinedine Zidane, Eusebio, Ronaldinho, Paolo Maldini, Alfredo Di Stefano, Franz Beckanbauer and last but not least, Steven GERRARD...yeap..

These are some of the best players in the world... and the team which have lifted the trophy the most number of times...is Real Madrid CF...the team from the Spanish Capital...
They have lifted it a record 9 times....and they are looking to add a tenth trophy to their already glittering trophy cabinet at the Santiago Bernabeu(their stadium)

Followed by Real Madrid, is Italian Giants AC Milan...yeap
They lifted their seventh trophy last season when they won liverpool 2-1 in athens...the thought of it still hurts me...anyways... they will of course want to be the first team to win consecutive champions league trophies...and it will take something special to dethrone the current holders...

Next up is of course Liverpool FC...they are my favourite team...as you all know... and they have won it 5 times...it could have been 6 times though...had they won it last season...and this season...even though they are focusing their attention to the English Premier League Title...they can never be written off...such is their prestige and history in the tournament...and with the help of new signing fernando torres...who is to say they wont win both the champions league and the English Premier League :) ..haha

as for the other teams...its
Bayern Munich 4
Ajax Amsterdam 4
FC Barcelona 2
Manchester United 2
Benfica 2
FC Porto 2
Nottingham Forest 2

thats all that i can think of at the moment....there are more actualli...haha...but i guess..my eyes are closing now..hehe...gtg... BYEEE
