Final Four

The four teams left in this years champions league tournament are Atletico Madrid, Manchester City, Bayern Munich, and Real Madrid. This past week had some intense action within the second legs for the final eight teams. The most shocking result was FC Barcelona's 0 - 2 defeat against Atletico Madrid. The rojiblancos advanced through with the magical touch of Frenchmen Antoine Griezmann. His two goals were the difference in the match and saw the defending champions to the exit door. Real Madrid went into the second leg, which was to be played at home in the historic Santiago Bernabeu Stadium, down 0 - 2 against Wolfsburg of Germany. Los Blancos, or should I say Cristiano Ronaldo, showed who they really were. Ronlado was perfect in the match, scoring all 3 of his teams goals making the aggregate score 3 - 2 in favor of Real Madrid. Ronaldo proves once again that the champions league is his tournament, being the highest scorer and record holder for most hat tricks in the tournaments history. Paris Saint Germain and Manchester City played it out until the very end where it was Kevin De Bruyne who scored important goals in both legs to see his sky blues soar past the Paris giants 3 - 2 on aggregate. Bayern Munich, who have reached the semi finals every year since their last time as champions in the 2012/2013 season, had a tough second leg against Benfica. The aggregate score for both games ended in a 3 - 2 win for Bayern who eagerly want to win a European treble this 2015/2016 campaign. With the final four teams in place we wait the drawing of the next matches. Could we have all Madrid final like a few years ago? Will we see an English team advance to the final since Chelsea's win in 2011/2012? Or will Bayern Munich show why they are a force to be reckoned with by stating European dominance?
