Lets take a look at what the 8 groups of matches to be played, have to offer.





The Spur-ring Milan Love affair

The Entertaing tottenham hotspurs are the newest chapter of English participation in the champions league. they have entertained one and all with their Expansive, open and end to end football, they have scored a truckload of goal in the conmptition and qualifiers so far, but have been equally fragile at the back lettting in almost as many. but this Tottenham fairytale hais been great to say the least, as they are my favourites  to win the competition. they have been a thorn in the throne of the defenbding champions in the group stage, but they dreams seem to be chasing milan. surely the Nerazuri would be Intemidiated, if not haunted by the draw. Well they better be, as spurs will come at them hard.
We should not forget that AC Milan is a legend in europe, with 7 europian crowns. so all that is expected is another visual delight. milan, with their meticulous style of football will be up against arial bombardments from the swift and counterattaking spurs, who have natural width in their play.



Speaking of injuries, the brazillian talisman, Alaxandre Pato will be back to first team action somewhere in january, spurs, who immediate new joinees to bolster their back four. Rafael van der vaart is also expected to shrug of his knee injury to be back for the clash.
Boasting big names like ibrahimovic, robinho, pirlo and ronaldinho. milan hav to contain thr threat of Gareth bale, who doesnt need an invitation to attack and the improving aaron lennon.

While Experience and an injury ravaged spurs defence favour the Ronenerri, Spurs have enough gunpowder in their armory to destroy the milan defence.


So Let the fireworks began!!!!!!!!
