It is not all over for Mourinho and Real Madrid

Real Madrid almost mirrored a Germany-Spain fashion battle  as their Spain Compatriots Barcelona by registering a 4-1 loss to the German giants Dortmund in a classic Champion league heavy-weight clash.

Just like the Barcelona vs Bayern clash,this was perceived as a match that was going to be a neck to neck battle between the two teams but in the end Lewandowski,the BVB main man of the night stole the show from Real Madrid and Cristiano Ronaldo by scoring all the four goals leaving  Real Madrid to hang on one away goal as the hope for their progression to Wembley Stadium for the finale showdown.

Although it looks bleak for them to go on to beat their rivals who they have not beaten even once since the start of this season's champion league,there are strengths that they can hang on to push them over their now bitter rivals Dortmund.

Jurgen Klopp the BVB boss knows this very well that even after the almost convincing  match he had the following to say. 

Jurgen Klopp during the game

"We have played an extraordinary game against a fantastic team but nothing has been decided yet.

“But even if we get knocked out, nobody can take this night away from us.

The BVB boss struggled for superlatives when describing his team's performance against Real Madrid - eventually settling for a folk hero who robbed the rich and gave to the poor.

The game which was won by the star striker of the day Lewandowski was far from the Real Madrid defeat where they have not allowed a single player beat them more than twice in the same game.This and other factors make it easy not to rule out the fact that if Real Madrid improve in the areas when they play at Santiago Bernabeu to Dortmund they we should get ready for yet another unpredictable battle.

Defense errors:

While acknowledging Dortmund's superiority, the outspoken trainer was clearly vexed at seeing BVB's attacking star hit four times against an under-par defense.The Poland international lay the blame on the

LEWANDOSKI BEATS REAL MADRID DEFENDERS

defense that was beat by a single player more than twice to the net at Signal Iduna.The first goal that Lewandowski scored came as a cross from Mario Gotze and clearly the cross could have been cleared had the white shirts in the box moved in time to mark the mingling Lewandowski who slotted in with a beautiful touch to put his side in a commanding tone with just eight minutes on the play.

The second goal came in the second half from the same man Lewandowski as the young Defender Varane lost attention in the game and left the striker all alone inside the box and the headed ball from Reus found him as he slotted home amid off-side  crys from the defenders.The third goal was not a classic defensive error as one could point out but the defenders took long to close in on Lewandowski who calmly slotted home to make his third of the night.Madrid were resigning themselves to chasing a two-goal deficit in the Bernabeu, albeit with an away strike, when an idiotic shove from Xabi Alonso on Reus led to a penalty.Mourinho had the following to say on Lewandowski. "We know everything about Lewandowski, absolutely everything, we studied him from every detail possible and we lose him in three goals - i don't talk about the penalty - where we know exactly what he does," Mourinho explained in the post-match press conference.

If the team works on this,then the second leg will be a different story.

Ronaldo can score two goals:

With 12 goals to his name in the competition so far,it will not be wrong to bet on the odds of the Portuguese international scoring two goals in the second leg of the competition.Should this happen then Real Madrid are poised for a complete revenge suited for this level of competition.

RONALDO CELEBRATES HIS FIRST HALF GOAL.

Strikers and midfield pattern change:

Luka Modric started in the midfield with Higuain starting ahead of Benzema in the striking.Although the force worked well in the final minutes of the game it will be good if Benzema started in the game ahead of Higuain to add pace to the game for Real Madrid to have the advantage of early goals.Modric failed to show the composure he normally has in both the three legs of the competition right now and he can drop for the Essien so that the muscle in the midfield can stop the free movement of Reus and Mario Gotze to distribute the balls to the wings for the waiting Lewandowski.

Di maria should start on the wing:

 The game for sure lacked the pace in starting moments of the match.Real Madrid tried to distribute the ball in the central part of the field which was crowded in the night.Di maria should start in the second leg at Bernabeu to take the ball in the Dortmund box for chances to create goals in the early stages of the match.

Cristiano Ronaldo's wing was overused in the night amid all the marking from the Dortmund blocks.

The Merengue were left bruised after a convincing defeat, but will still hope to turn round the fixture thanks to Ronaldo's away goal. The second leg will be played in the Santiago Bernabeu, on April 30.

 

Arsene Wenger will surely defeat Chelsea and Tottenham for the top four race.

It has been a run of eight years without a trophy for the main man for Arsenal and yes,any football fan can tell you how long and breaking this can be given all the trophies and hope that a whole season carries.
This season is no different at all for Arsenal who still have the memories of last season rising from position 17 to position 3 after playing a quarter of the season in the relegation zone.This different colors of Arsen Wenger the most successful man to ever take the wheel at the Arsenal football club have made him send mixed feelings to the fans of the club as to whether he is the real deal at Arsenal or the black spot to the success of the club.

This season sees a neck to neck battle between the two North London rivals Arsenal and Tottenham joined by their West London neighbors Chelsea who are all fighting for the champion league spots in the Europe Elite competition.Arsenal who have never failed to hit the champion league qualification in the past 16 years,a record no football manager or club has ever broken seem to be on their way to kick a humble abode and relax at their home;the top four.

Arsenal and Arsene

Look at the names and you will notice a close resemblance in them.Maybe that is the main reason why you cannot talk of one without the other but these are the stats that keep Arsenal safe in the race:

History:

ARSENE WENGER:so far so good...............

-That Arsenal have never missed to be in the England top four elite for the past 16 years is not a coincidence.This has happened at a time when Arsenal have seen their now strong rivals fall beyond the top four zone in the competition.Chelsea football club in last season alone was blinded by the lucky yet tactical win of the champions league to realize that they finished in position six in the competition a huge drop from their last position of number three in the preceding
season.Tottenham themselves have played in the champions league spot once in last season but two dropped out of the spot in the next two seasons appearing in the top again but their chances of featuring in the competitions thwarted by the huge win of Chelsea in the Champions league.

Experience:
Arsene Wenger has more often than not given out an allure of him being a hero out of situations that the club have got themselves into due to their inconsistent yet predictable pattern of season form over the past few years.Forget the invincibles that won 25 games in the premier league and drew thirteen and lost none led by the heartless attack of Thiery Henry.Arsenal have got themselves into a pattern of starting the campaign strongly then freezing out in the middle and then blustering out of the season strongly.
 Last season alone Arsenal came overhauled Tottenham from position three in the league after unfading the eight points lead Tottenham had over them.This happened after a streak of an eight match win in the summer collecting 24 points out of the possible 24.This season again Arsenal are in the run of winning matches after collecting a win of seven matches in their last Premier League outings.

Left time and fixtures......not good!!!

Season remaining Fixtures
Arsenal face Manchester United in this Weekends Premier League match which is the only top flight match they have left.History again plays in the favor of Arsenal as most of the second matches they have played at home to Manchester United have gone their way.The three left matches will be against Wigan Athletic QPR and Newcastle all which Arsenal has shown a great game against in the first part of the campaign.
Although for Tottenham and Chelsea, they have to face one another before the season ends and even if they share the spoils,it will be in Arsenal's advantage.Tottenham have a tricky fixture away to Stoke City who have been dominating the two sides meetings.
Chelsea have a hard nut to crack yet as they have a hard match in midweek againt Basel in the Europa League.Incredibly in Arsenal and Tottenham favor they will have to watch and see how Chelsea will handle the derbies of Swansea who Chelsea was not able to break down on their way to crowned as the Capital One cup victors,Everton and Manchester united in their other left fixtures and these will be matches that the Chelsea stand in headboy Rafael Benitez would surely wish he would have got done with in the earlier stages of the season.

The New Manager factor:

ANDRE.....CHANCES BLEAK....

All the two managers fighting Arsen Wenger for the 'Top four trophy' are all starting their first seasons in the management of their clubs.It will not be wrong to tell that it is at the end of this season that they will get to undrestand the finishing power and transition of the team towards the end of the season unlike Arsen Wenger who has stuck to the team for several years therefore working on the team's finishing power of the season unlike his counterparts who it is after this season and maybe many more to come will they be in tandem with their teams' mirror season finale finishing style.

All the factors seem to be enthizing for Arsene and his boys but as he keeps on saying,they should only focus on winning their games because it is through this that they would maintain their current position three in the league to keep brimming their hopes and anticipation of playing in the champions league.Let us see whether they can stop the party boys of Sir Alex Ferguson this Weekend.

 Henry Rotich:

RELATIONSHIP=FRIENDS=ENEMIES...

where did the smile go...................??

Can you imagine that the first time you saw him or her you smiled at what he was telling you?You see she told you that you had a weakness in telling the ladies that you had something for them and you laughed at it with a smile.

I can even guess she told you that the restaurant where you took her for your first date was so cheap and you laughed at it.

In the first days of your relationship everything went down ably as a compliment and a soft correction of the mistakes that you made at the presence of one another.

As time elopes you come to realize that you have let go the Spackle that you used to witness when she took off her clothes in front of you.You let go the soft touch of mistake correction and  complements that used to code her every dress and heels that she wore.Did you just forget to surprise him with lunch at his workplace or tell him how handsome he looks every morning g when he dresses up for work?

Aha!!you even go adrift to start reminding her of the little things that she does not get right everyday.You made a mistake not to even taste the chicken she cooked claiming you had pizza with you boys on your way home and continued to punch her in the face by saying that she maybe used the oil you don't like to fry the chicken.

One year down the line all that you do now is lay blame on him for letting go the spark of the romance yet you are the one that provided the rhythm to the sound of the breaking ice in your relationship.

If you try to rewind that relationship to reflect a picture of the first day that you met and begun dating,the little smiles that you gave one another,the anticipation that made you call one another each minute like you were totally crazy over one another and hold on to that deeply and try to never let it go,you will not at any one instance get to the point of asking yourself this question ever.

Go to them and smile always and keep the firt date bubbling in your mind and you will never lose them ever!!
