Soccer Enthusiasts! The euphoria, carnival is finally lit up in the air with the beginning of 22nd  edition of UEFA Champions league or European cup 2013-14 as it’s fondly known as. It will be a grand affair as usual with some of the competitions top grocers like last editions winners Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Barca {Barcelona}, AC Milan, Arsenal, Manchester United, Manchester City and others amongst 76 - 77 teams and wherein 32 teams are group stages.

UEFA league has participation of 54 countries known as Associations and are placed in the list depending on UEFA country coefficients which takes the performance of various soccer clubs representing the respective nations and playing for their pride. According to UEFA officials and data compilation as of August 2013, Spain tops the list followed closely by England and Germany whereas Kazakhstan are at bottom grosser this season. 




Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Barcelona, Arsenal, Manchester United are amongst the elite group of football clubs having highest craze. Specifically all eyes would be etched on team Real Madrid! Got curious to know why? Keep your hands with bated breath to know-how on Real’s changeover of not just players, but coach and team composition as well since although they might be the most successful club in the competition's history, having won the tournament nine times, including the first five seasons it contested.       
                    However all’s not going well in Real’s clan as they have a past drought which hit them since 2001-02 edition and still continuing as they haven’t won single tournament since then. So much so that the club has a new guard ship or coach and players too!
                     So let us ponder the new facelift of Madrid’s new fire brand which would make them assume that they can spoil the party of clubs like Bayern Munich, Barca’s and Arsenal who have hold a tight spree since 2002-03 especially Barca’s who have won 3 tournaments till now.

BUZZING NEWS ROUND SOCCER WORLD!

The Buzz in Soccer world is the 2013-14 team Real’s playing combination which has been bolstered with inclusion of:

 v Big catch, big fish Cristiano Ronaldo moved from Manchester United to Real’s elite stable for a whopping record transaction worth £80 million (€94 million) in 2009.


BALE ALL SET FOR NEW SEASON WITH REAL MADRID 
v
  
This record has now been broken with signing of Gareth Bale from Tottenham hotspur for a record smashing £84 million (€100 million) this summer which has now eclipsed fete led till now by Cristiano Ronaldo for €94 million- the most expensive transfer ever in football history!                                           
                        
 v  Madrid have also romped to have a complete success party to hire Carlo Ancelotti who made AC Milan to won Euro Cup twice and have fired former Madrid’s coach Jose Mourinho.


















CARLO ANCELOTTI
  v  It seems Ancelotti’s chances have paid well and that it seems quite real that Madrid’s lost 
     sheen will finally be revived as Bale has made 
     an immediate impact on his debut for Real on Saturday
      by scoring on a 2-2 draw with Villarreal CF.

  The Madrid Side however would probably 
      miss the like of their formidable passer cum playmaker German Mesut Ozil who’s now romped in by Arsenal. 
   Will it cause an unlikely upset? Only time will tell. 
   However Ancelotti is quite sure that the gamble would 
    result in Real’s fortunes as he relies less on craftsmanship and more on explosiveness combo of Bale and Ronaldo.

  v  Ancelotti was also quoted stating in a official press release that even he feels it amazing that Real’s previous outings since 2002 when they last fished in finals of champions league is too long for a club of Madrid’s expo. Hence he’s not taking any match on lighter veins and wants all players including two big catches as to take all team and matches one on one and seriously.
                However a refreshing news for Real is that they are not just the only top football clubs who have sacked players,  last minute official team changes to replace coaches. Teams like Chelsea, Manchester City, Manchester United, Barca’s Bayern Munich have followed the suit by hiring new coaches. They are as follows:

 -Chelsea - Jose Mourinho.                    -Manchester City-Manuel Pellegrini.
 -Barca - Gerrardo Martino                    -Bayern Munich-Pep Guardilo.
 -Manchester United – David Moyes replaced Alex Ferguson’s long stint.

                  As a real soccer maniac cum avid lover of UEFA league and same time amongst “Real Madrid’s fan”, I on personal note wish them all success in their tournament and hope the change of guard be a bonus outing for them as it would help them to rope in the losses and end the toughest and longest drought by any soccer club since 2002.


                  GO MADRID GO! GO FOR A KILL AND REVIVE YOUR LOST PRIDE AND HONOR! AS ITS NOW OR NEVER!
