After Wednesday night's Champions leagues matches the semifinals are set.The 1st leg of the semifinals will be on the 26-27 of April, the return leg will be on the 3-4 of May and the final will be on the 28th of May. The match ups are Schalke 04(Ger.) vs. Manchester United(Eng). The other game is Real Madrid(Spain) vs. Barcelona(Spain) (Classico!). I presume that Manchester United will prevail over Schalke but Schalke have upset the big boys, knocking out Inter, the defending champions, in the quarterfinals. The other game is pretty much up for grabs in terms of advancing to the final at Wembley Stadium. Although I have a feeling Real Madrid will play defensively against Barca and might be able to shut down Messi and score one of there own goals.
Either way the two best players in the world will play each other for all of us to watch. If Real Madrid and Schalke were to face off in the final it would be an interesting storyline as Raul (one of the best CL scorers of all time) would play for his new club Schalke against his old club Real Madrid whom he scored an astounding 228 goals for.
I am looking forward to the emotions of the fans and his own as he just left the club back in 2010. He was a bit of a forgotten figure then and Real Madrid brought in an influx of Strikers, hence taking over the aging Raul's starting position, hence his trade to Schalke.
My personal predictions would have to be Man United faces off against Real Madrid in the final. It's a very, very, very early prediction but I think Real Madrid will win it all because of one simple man, Jose Morinho, Real Madrid's manager, and tactical mastermind.
