Some call it fate, some call it destiny, some call it karma, some even call it an act of God. What ever it is, this season's Champions League draw has been throwing up seriously ironic and yet scrumptious ties.
Case and point, initial group stages, Real Madrid vs AC Milan: The return of Kaka to his once hunting ground, claiming he wouldn't leave. Well he hadn't left long enough as those grandpa's in the Milan defence still remembered his playing style and marked him perfectly.
Then it was Barcelona vs Inter Milan. The return of Zlatan and Eto'o who ironically switched sides during the off season. Oh there was Maxwell as well for Barca but that didn't really matter.
Now, right after the draw for the knockout stages were done, this mysterious force can be seen at play again. David Beckham's Christmas wish came early cos couple of days ago, he said he wished to return to Old Trafford with Milan in the next stage. And lull and behold, he got it. Must've a good boy this year eh Mr. Becks.
Then there is Real Madrid vs Lyon. I highlighted this tie cos Madrid do have a former Lyon player, key and star player in fact, who goes by the name of Karim Benzema. Prolific player no doubt but maybe not such a prolific match cos he hasn't been getting his chances at the White House.
But the draw that takes the cap has to be the return of The Special One to Stamford Bridge as Inter has been paired with Chelsea. And with current Chelsea gaffer Ancelotti previously managing arch rival Milan, sparks are sure to fly!
So yeah, come February, another set of mouth-watering ties are in store. On a related manner, Mr. Wy has finally chosen a team to support. Well, at least now you will be able to enjoy or suffer (which ever makes u happy) the turmoil and stress of being a supporter of THAT club. Seriously, I know die hard supporters giving up on watching the team play cos of that fat waiter that seems to have the managerial job in the dugout. Well at least on paper the have an easy draw in the Europa League. Yes wy, the taunting has already begun :P!
