There's A Surprise

So the draw for the Champions League has been made again. This is a time every year when the fans of the top four all sit down and hope to be given a nice easy run, knowing full well that only United will actually be given that easy run. They get that easy run every single year, from the group stage, through the knockout rounds and they only get knocked out when they play a hard game. Then if that does not work for some reason they always seem to get through due to referee decisions. The same can also be said for Barcelona however. Yes they, obviously, have one of the best teams ever but when put in a 2 leg match a team can very easily beat Barcelona. Arsenal last year came close, they just did not defend their lead well enough, when a team comes close to defeating Barcelona over 2 legs they also seem to get refereeing decisions in their favour. Such as against Chelsea a few years ago, they deserved to win and should have had a minimum of 3 penalties, with another 2 being a bit 'iffy' and Dani Alves should also have been sent off. It is for all of these reasons that you have to feel that the Champions League could be one of the most corrupt tournaments on the planet, I do not know if it is or not but these are just the opinions of disgruntled fans.
