We are in the middle of February and as the football fans call it , we are in the Champions League time of the year, contrary to the belief of the masses of this being the Valentine's week of the year. The best teams of Europe prepare to give it their best shot at the very top level of European Football.
After beating Atletico Madrid 5-0 on aggregate, the Los Blancos are high on confidence as they saw a comparatively easy draw at the UCL Knockout draws which saw the 9 time Champions of Europe face Schalke FC on their course of getting the La Decima. Real Madrid topped group B with tough competition from the Italian Champions Juventus.
Now that they have a new coach in Carlo Ancelotti and some new talent in the form of Jese, Carvajal and Isco; the club would accept nothing but Cup success from Ancelotti and co.The much talked about new signing Gareth Bale has become a key figure of Ancelotti's side and he surely will prove out to be a pivotal figure in their campaign.
The Ballon d'Or winner Cristiano Ronaldo has been in terrific form in the group stage scoring a record 9 goals in 5 matches. The 100m man Gareth Bale seems to get along with his new aquad after he scored a goal and provided one assist in 20 minutes on his return from injury last week in the La LIGA. Luka Modric, Angel Di Maria and Karim Benzema are enjoying a decent run of form too.
But something that the Spanish Giants can be very confidence of is a decent defensive display by the side. With Iker Casillas yet to concede a goal in 2014, the Club of The 20th Century are on a high and will be aiming for nothing less than the UCL title this year.
