UEFA Champions League!

When we talk about football competitions,the very first name that comes to our mind is the UEFA Champions League!
It indeed is the best club competition in the world! It is the most glamourous and star studded tournament !
If you ask a player ,'what it really means to have a champions league winner's medal?' You'll come to know what this competition is really about! It brings prestige,ecstacy,fame,glory,success,satisfaction and a dream come true!
Now a question arises .. FIFA world cup or UEFA champions league?
Different people,different opinion!
For me,one is best international competition and the other is best club competition!
It was initiated in 1955! Then it was named EUROPEAN CHAMPIONS CLUB'S CUP or simply EUROPEAN CUP! Then it was a completely knockout tournament ! Only in 1992, the system was expanded and a group stage was included before knock out phase ! Also,it was named champions league! The competition comprises of 32 teams (22 directly in group stage and 10 comin from qualifying to group stage) divided into 8 groups(each group having 4 teams) ... top 2 from each group move into round of 16,where the knockout phase starts! Knockout phase is played over two legs,where the winner makes into last eight,then semi finals and then the final!
Some stats :-
*Most successful club-Real Madrid   (9 titles)
AC Milan(7 titles)
Bayern munich,Liverpool(5 titles)
FC Barcelona(4 titles)

*Real Madrid won the inaugural europeans cup in 1955-56 season and successfuly retained this trophy for 5 consecutive seasons,which still is a record!

*The list of top scorers :-
  1. Raul (71 goals)
   2.Lionel Messi (65 goals)
    3.Rude van nistleroy (60 goals)
      4.Cristiano Ronaldo (60 goals)

*current holders are Bayern Munich!

Since the tournament was renamed as champions league in 1992 no club has ever retained their title..lets see if bayern munich can create history by successfuly defending their title in 2013-14 season!

Hazard-best young talent?

Today, i will be talking about Eden Hazard- a left winger! Current club-ChelseaFc! National team-Belgium.
I am really eager to know the answer of the above question! Is he the best young talent in the world of football?
Lets try to figure it out!
The more i watch this man on the field the more i start to appreciate him! He has got everything to be the world's best in near future! Blistering speed,great control of the ball,dazzling skills,power house! Also has an eye for delightful pass! Aslo,under mourinho,he has improved his defensive qualities! I used to think he should improve his goal scoring attributes but as i say he shut me up by scoring a hat-trick and helped chelsea cruise pass newcastle united at their own turf!
He should continue to do the same to be the  best in the world..still just 22,has a lot to learn and improve! But the way he is improving makes me believe more and more that he is the next big thing for sure!
