I've read a newspaper lately that stated why these 4 clubs will win the semi-final clashes in Champions League. Very interesting.Check it out!


Why Chelsea will win:

Michael Essien

• They cannot accept a third semi-final defeat to Liverpool
• The 2nd leg will be played at Stamford Bridge
• Manager Avram Grant wants to go one-up above Jose Maurinho. who never reached the final with Chelsea
• Owner Mr.Roman has already booked hotel rooms in Moscow for his family for the final
  

Why Liverpool will win:

• The Reds simply love to beat Chelsea in the semi-finals
• They have the Kop, who are worth a goal start in any big match
• They have Steven Gerrard, the skipper who can single-handedly win a big match and of course, the Spaniard goal predator Fernando Torres(pic)
  

Why Man Utd will win:

• The team are playing very well
• They have Cristiano Ronaldo(pic), currently the best player in the world
• Manager, Sir Alex, wants to retire as true England and European champions becos when Man Utd won the Cup in 1999, they didnt enter the competition as English champions.
• They badly want to meet and beat bitter rivals in the final.

Why Barcelona will win:

• They have the pedigree of being recent champions(beating Arsenal in the 2006 final)
• They have a fit-again Lionel Messi, a player who can win a match by magic
• They have super reserves such as Ronaldinho(pic) and Thierry Henry
• Under fire manager Frank Rijkaard wants to avoid the sack
