The UEFA Champions League Football is well into the knockout stages.  One of the highlights of European football, as the best football clubs take on each other across Europe.  Last night saw Arsenal go through to the Quarter-finals, as they thumped FC Porto 5-0.  Whilst FC Bayern München battled hard to just edge out ACF Fiorentina, although they finished 4-4 on aggregate, Bayern go through on scoring more away goals 2-1.

Tonight Manchester United take on AC Milan at Old Trafford, Man U are up 3-2 on aggregate after their away game. Whilst Real Madrid play Lyon at home, Lyon are 1-0 up after the first leg game.

UEFA Champions League takes place over many months as the top finishing European clubs play three qualifying rounds, a play-off round, then finally 32 teams play in a group stage, a knock-out stage where the top 16 teams play for the quarter-finals, semis and then the final.

Champions League really produces some of the best football as you are seeing the best clubs and professionals playing against each other.  Names like Beckham, Ronaldinho, Ronaldo… produce some of the best football games ever, as the level is raised.
