Real Madrid vs AC Milan Live Streaming Online, Sopcast, UEFA Champions League.
AC Milan arrived this noon and are staying at the Villa Magna hotel. They will hold a press conference at 18:30 and then start training for the game. There was also a bunch of AC Milan fans around the Santiago Bernabeu metro area. I could recognize them because they were speaking in Italian, carrying tons of bags and were talking about Kaka.

Anyway, this is obviously the game of the week. Not just because of the players who play for both clubs but for the history behind those two European giants. Both combined, they have won 16 Champions League cups. Now where is Barcelona? This is greatness.

We have Kaka, they have Huntelaar. I'm also going to count Seedorf. So this match sees the return of Klaas and Seedorf to the Bernabeu and is Kaka's first game against his former team.

Milan's vice president had to say this:

"I think seeing Kaka play with a shirt different from ours will be very moving, but that's football for you. It will be tough"

I know how that feels, but this is football. It was the right move for all parties. We are proud to have Kaka on the team, not just because he is a great player, but a great person too. You can find weird stories on Ronaldo and Ramos, but never on Kaka.

The good news this morning is that Lass is fine and has been included in the squad list. Whether he will play or not that is still unknown. Arbeloa is also fit to play, wherease Ronaldo, Van Nistelrooy, Metzelder and Gago are still out for injury.

There is some talk on Benzema at the moment. It is his turn to be criticized after Higuain and Raul started playing well. It works this way in Spain. You slip up, you get under the spotlight. Nevertheless, Pellegrini sees nothing wrong with Benzema and his performances

"Benzema is a young and quality player. He has adapted to the squad perfectly. Every footballer has better or worse moments."

I agree with him. All players have these down periods, but the fact that Benzema is young and is a consistent-kind-of-player (unlike Guti!) it won't be long until he returns to scoring. He has 3 goals from 7 games which isn't very bad.

As I always say, matches like these are not analyzed by recent statistics of both teams. Sure, they count, but these are usually different games with different atmosphere -- think of it like a battle. I would go on to say this is probably EL Clasico of Europe.

On paper, Real is the better side. 29 goals in 9 games with three goals per game on average. The team is topping its Champions League group and is second with 1 point behind Barcelona in the league.

Meanwhile, AC Milan are still finding it difficult to regain their form, and are 7 points off first place in the Serie A. Since the Juventus scandal that also affected them, they have been struggling domestically as well as in Europe.

Looking at their squad list though, they have pretty popular names. From Ronaldinho to Pato, to Huntelaar and Inzaghi. Here is what Pellegrini said about them:

"Milan have very experienced players and the team played well in the second half of their match against Roma. Milan can be dangerous if they find room in which to attack. They are a difficult opponent."

Personally speaking, I think what sets Milan apart is their experience in the Champions League. The second thing is they have two players who can change the path of the game anytime they want -- Inazghi and Ronaldinho. Don't laugh, because you would be stupid.

Ronaldinho isn't the one whom the fans gave him a standing ovation at the Bernabeu a few years ago, but he surely is a quality player. He, in my opinion, will decide the game for Milan If we help them do so.

As for Inzaghi, we all know him. Great positioning skills and he knows how to stay motivated and motivate his teammates as well. He will surely cause us problems.

The rest of their players are quality ones too. Here is their squad list:

Dida, Donnarumma, Roma, Antonini, Jankulovski, Kaladze, Nesta, Pasini, Oddo, Thiago Silva, Zambrotta, Abate, Ambrosini, Flamini, Pirlo, Seedorf, Borriello, Huntelaar, Inzaghi, Pato, Ronaldinho and Verdi.

Girondins Bordeaux vs Bayern Munich Live Streaming Online, Sopcast, UEFA Champions League. Bayern Munich defender Daniel Van Buyten is expecting their Champions League clash with Bordeaux to be a fierce affair.

The teams meet in a Group A match at the Stade Chaban Delmas with both sides on four points from two games, but with Bayern currently top thanks to their superior goal difference.

Bordeaux are third in Ligue 1 after going down to defeat at Auxerre at the weekend while Bayern are sixth in the Bundesliga, six points behind leaders Bayer Leverkusen and Hamburg.

Laurent Blanc's side will be looking to make the most of home advantage before they travel to Germany in a fortnight's time, with the knockout phase tantalisingly close for whoever emerges best from this double header.

Van Buyten insists his team will not underestimate their French opponents and told Bordeaux's official website, www.girondins.com: "We know it will be very difficult but we can claim something from it.

"We expect a real Champions League clash, with great intensity. My team-mates are ready."

The Belgium international played in Ligue 1 for Marseille before moving to Hamburg in 2004 and then on to Bayern two years later.

He is well aware of the steps Bordeaux have made in recent years, saying: "Bordeaux are a very complete team. Beware of Les Girondins.

"Franck (Ribery) and I have a lot of experience in Ligue 1 and we have warned our team-mates.

"We must be very careful at the Chaban Delmas. We take Les Girondins very seriously."

The only previous encounter between the teams saw Bayern triumph 5-1 on aggregate in the 1996 UEFA Cup final which came only a few years after they were relegated to the second division for financial reasons.

The last few years have seen Les Girondins become one of the most successful teams in France.

Current manager Blanc was appointed in June 2007 and in his first season led them to second place before going one better last term after winning the final 11 games of the season as well as clinching the Coupe de la Ligue.

Van Buyten acknowledges the effect Blanc has had, adding: "For me Bordeaux are a stable club.

"They did not finish champions by accident. With Laurent Blanc, they have found a very good coach.

"He has improved and strengthened, it is a solid team. Les Girondins have two or three individuals who can make the difference."

Louis van Gaal joined Bayern as coach in the summer and Van Buyten admits there have been teething problems as they look to at least match their second-placed Bundesliga finish from last season.

"We have had a lot of injuries, the coach has had to make many changes from one game to another," he said.

"Louis van Gaal came with the idea of installing a new system and new philosophy. He took time to integrate these changes and some players' injuries have delayed the introduction of these innovations."

Bayern will be without Arjen Robben for the match as his comeback from injury has been delayed.

Manchester United

Life is good for Manchester United as they sit atop of the table in the Premier League and at the top of Group B in the Champions League ahead of this CSKA Moscow vs. Man Utd match on Wednesday night.

Man Utd have been steady in recent weeks and have won both of their Group B matches despite not overly impressing.

In the opening match against Besiktas, Sir Alex Ferguson’s men required a late goal from Paul Scholes to seal the victory, while in the second match, Man United had to come from behind to beat a feisty Wolfsburg 2-1.

Wayne Rooney, who has been in fantastic form, is doubtful for this Manchester United vs. CSKA Moscow fixture with an injury. But with the likes of Dimitar Berbatov and Michael Owen available, Man U has more than enough striking power to cause problems to the CSKA defence.


CSKA Moscow

Juande Ramos has done a decent job for CSKA Moscow since taking over from Zico, though with five games remaining in the Russian Premier League, the army club will have to finish strongly if they are to qualify for next season’s Champions League.

Focusing on Wednesday night’s clash with Manchester United, CSKA Moscow find themselves in a respectable position after two games played.

Their most recent victory over Besiktas was much needed in their attempt to stay in the hunt for advancement.

Gone are the days when Wagner Love’s blue braids led the way up front for CSKA Moskva, but with Tomas Necid and Alan Dzagoev in attack, CSKA still pose a real threat to opposing teams, even against the likes of Man U.

The cold weather in Russia usually makes playing conditions less than ideal for visiting clubs, and if the hosts are able to capture anything from Wednesday night’s CSKA vs Manchester United meeting, the Russians would need to be in good shape at the halfway point.

It's tempting, sure. But what if it's wrong? Why must we always detect deceit? Couldn't they simply be telling the truth? What they say makes sense, after all. Have a quick glance around, check no one is looking and take a deep breath. It might be time to do what they always told us not to do: it might just be time to write off the Germans.

Franck Ribéry is one of the continent's best, a footballer whose only real weakness is a lack of exposure compared to those playing in England, Italy or Spain - as tough as he is talented. Facing a full-back, Dani Alves, whose instinct is to go forward not back might even suit him. Luca Toni can cause problems in the air, where Barcelona look vulnerable, particularly if Rafa Márquez isn't at his best. And Barça's midfield won't relish having that nutter Mark van Bommel raging at them. Especially not with an English referee: there'll be no forcing the official to blow up just by stopping.

Barcelona's normal left-back is out, meaning Carles Puyol playing out of position. When Víctor Valdés's agent announced last week that his client, currently fighting it out for a new contract that Barcelona seem reluctant to offer, should earn the same as Iker Casillas, everybody just fell around laughing. Yeah, sure he should, pal. And Bayern did score 12 - yes, 12 - against Sporting Lisbon. Plus there's a sneaking suspicion that the Spanish league is not quite as strong as they think it is.
