This season contenders for the UEFA Champions League are strong. Next week, we can watch the most exciting teams competing with each other.
Barcelona vs Chelsea
Manchester United vs Arsenal
Barcelona this season is very lightly becoming the champion in the Spanish La Liga League. Currently they are in top form and have a great scoring record of 92 goals scored in La Liga with their top scorers: Samuel Eto'o, Lionel Messi, and Thierry Henry that can score anywhere. Even Chelsea only scored 55 goals in the English Premier League. This season Barcelona have the best attacking team and they are highly tip to win the Champions League. However they still need to ensure their defending is as well as their attacking.
Chelsea suffers an inconsistency form early in the season however their fortune changes when Guus Hiddink took over. Didier Drogba and Frank Lampard finally found back their best form and the team is start winning. However the question is: It is too late? The unsure future of Guus Hiddink at the club will harm the momentum and harmony of the team?
Manchester United clearly look more vulnerable than last season, however they still show their champion playing style. Although their top players' forms look like dipping down, Sir Alex Ferguson still is a great coach and able to motivate the team back to top form.
Arsenal got a superb young team, the important question is: Whether the young team can cope with the pressure of the game especially against the big club and in a huge and different environment? Arsenal can't go another year without any trophy; the pressure is high on the player and manager.
For my own opinion, I feel this year final will between Barcelona and Manchester United and Barcelona winning the trophy. Hopefully Henry will win the Champions League at last. It is unlikely to have all England teams final again especially when Barcelona is so strong and Chelsea is just recover.

English Premier League 2008/2009 - 5 More Games Left
The English Premier League - season 2008/2009 is coming for the closing. The Champion is almost appearing.
Currently there are only 5 more games left to be play and Manchester United is clearly would be the champion for another year. They are 74 points, 3 points more than Liverpool with 1 game on hand. Liverpool once again show their inconsistency, they are superb in the early of the season but go down in the mid of the season and currently are picking up but eventually it is too late.
For Chelsea, it is clear that they had improve since Guus Hiddink took over the manager over, however if he leave the position next season, Chelsea will face an uncertain season again. Hopefully he can continue the position and show the real Chelsea.
Arsenal really got a superb young team and players, however if got any players leave the club again next season, they will suffer again without any trophy for another season. They really need to maintain the current team and strengthen the defense area and they can compete for the champion next season.
The Top Four maintain for another season, until now, no other team can break into this. The only team can compete this season is Aston Villa, Manchester City and Tottenham, however Aston Villa can't maintain their form until end of the season and basically Manchester City and Tottemham have their worst season of all. Both of the teams have great players but never deliver until end of the season.
The European Cup position, sure will go to Aston Villa and Everton, hopefully next season, Everton won't went out of the competition early and Aston Villa won't give up the competition for the sake of Champion League position and fielding a 2nd string team.
It seem that the relegation battle will between West Brom, Middlesbrough, Newcastle United, Blackburn, Hull City and Sunderland. Personally, I feel that West Brom and Middlesbrough is guaranteed to go down, maybe Hull City will follow as well. Newcastle don't deserve to be at that position, hopefully Alan Shearer can show his magic and bring out the team from the relegation by winning the last 5 games.
