The UEFA Champions League is Back

Wow! Its really been long I wrote, now who is to blame for that...?thinking....(well that has to be myself).
So the UEFA Champions League is back Woohoo lets get an AMEN!!! Sorry to all the love crazed people out there; hey I know February is known as a love month with vals and all, but hey its also the month when the Champions League returns after a very long break.

Well the most anticipated match (City and Barca) was a real let down if I can put it that with City losing 0:2 to Barca; let's forget the red card Hey!!! this is City that were whooping asses anyhow in the EPL.
Guess it was a pretty bad run for the English teams losing 0-2 to their opponents all except Chelsea who managed to draw last night against Galatasaray; who if I clearly remember lost 4:1 to 10 men Real Madrid in the group Stage sometime in November.

So what gives... with City, Arsenal and Man U both losing out by 2 goals, is there really any hope for the English teams? Will this be the 1st time in years that there will be no less than one representative(assuming Chelsea wins the return leg at Stamford Bridge) in the quarters ? Time they say will surely tell.
Even Borrusia Dortmund had a win after a terrible weekend in the Bundesliga losing 3 -0 to Hamburg, they still put that behind them to get a 2:4 win over Zenit St. Petersburg

So we have the Spanish teams on target too, especially for Real Madrid being that they now sit on top of the Laliga table with 63 points and Barca and Athletico Madrid with 60 points respectively showed no mercy as they dealt with Schalke 04 in the BBC way (Benzema, Bale and Cristiano Ronaldo) remember its been like a week without Ronaldo being that he served the red card for the ban in the Laliga match against Athletic Bilbao.
