The CL is an ebb and flow, and now is just the EPL's time.
Italy ran it for a while, then La Liga now is the EPL's turn.
ManUre and Liverpool play a fast brand and still rely heavily on long balls as evidenced yesterday with Giggs and co. only trying to ping long balls to C. Ronaldo. Young Santon had C. Ronaldo's number though, and he only made a note when he switched sides.
Any side that is technically gifted i.e. Barca, that could keep the ball and slow the game right down will get the better of any EPL side.
On another Kicker, WHAT D PHOQ going on with Real. For a side with so much pedigree they eh look good at all. And, as bad as that cutarse was, it could ah be worse if Casillas was not in goal - he save Real big time. Expect to see a coaching change in the summer time and wholesale changes to the playing staff, such is the revolving door at Real.
