UEFA Champions League 2011-2012

Okay, I know this has happened a while ago but decided to add it here as a way to start it all off!

This year there are some pretty mouth-watering games to look forward to when it comes to the Champions League group stage!

We get to see how Manchester City can cope in the big stages after finally being able to qualify for the Champions League for the first time in years.

We have game such as Bayern Munich VS Manchester City, Chelsea VS Valencia, Barcelona VS Milan, and the game that for some reason has been happening TOO often, Real Madrid VS Olympique Lyon. So, as you can see, it will be a great battle to decide which teams will be able to qualify for the knockout stages of this competition.

Great signings have been made by some of the big teams and everyone is just waiting to see the players in action! Barcelona signing Cesc Fabregas and Alexis Sanchez, Manchester City signing Sergio Aguero, Inter Milan captured Diego Forlan after letting go of Samuel Eto'o, Real Madrid bringing in Fabio Coentrao and Nuri Sahin, etc.

So, lets just hope that the best team wins this year!
