Real Madrid and Benzema meet again with the Lyons
The drawing has not behaved badly of eighth of the Champions League with the Spanish teams, although Real Madrid will have that them turn with the Olympique of Lyons, a set that one does not give him well to the white persons and that this year gained in Anfield and overcame the Liverpool in the groups phase. Madrid neither has managed to be imposed to the Lyons in any of four duels that they have supported in the maximum continental competition, and even it nor has marked in the French fief. But at least it managed to escape from the Bayern of Munich and the Inter of Milan, the most awesome rivals. Benzema meets again, therefore, with his ex-team.
More luck they have had Barcelona and Seville. Those of Money box will measure themselves the Stuttgart, a rival who should not create problems and that Alexander Hleb counts with ex-azulgrana. The Seville will have to face the CSKA of Moscow, a rival with the one that there shares ex-trainer, Juande Ramos, dismissed in October by the Russian club. By that time, the rival sevillista will not be disputing his league, but in pre-season period.
Beyond what the drawing provided the Spanish, the most out-standing duel is the Inter-Chelsea, with Mourinho’s return to the one that was his house, Stamford Bridge. Interesting, undoubtedly; one of the big applicants will have to overcome the title the difficult Italian wall. Also he emphasizes the Milan – Manchester United; although the Italian club is not the one that was and the red devils have remained without Christian, both sets can offer an exciting qualifying round. Of the rest, it is necessary to hope for a big duel between the Bayern of Munich and the Fiorentina. This way the pairings have stayed.
