Football is one of the renowned and most popular game in the whole wide world! And it is the only game which is played on every part of every continent! Every year, especially in Europe, millions of euros are transfered from one country to another due to this game which involves transfers, sponsorships, etc!

For this reason I decided to take a look and find out the top earners of this game!

UEFA announced the draws for the Champions League quarter-finals today and most debatable match of these fixtures will be off course of Chelsea vs Man Utd! It will be the rematch of Champions League final in Moscow three years ago where Man Utd defeated Chelsea in penalties! Chelsea have never had the European glory and the closest they came was that final where Man Utd clinched the win due to the very last penalty where Terry slipped and was unsuccessful to convert it into goal and it cost Chelsea their first ever UEFA Cup! So this time around they will definitely look to avenge Man Utd for that! But given the current run of the both clubs in this season, Chelsea will have to increase their form and really need to turn the tables cuz Man Utd is in terrific form right now!
Meanwhile, spurs are handed over the nine-time UEFA winners, Madrid, for the quarter-final! It will be a very hard job for them through them and given the current level of Madrid, Redknapp really need to apply his tactic correct and wise and beat Mourinho's Lads! Real Madrid have passed to quarter-final after around six years and this time they want to go all the way to the final!
Barcelona and Inter are give comparatively the easier teams and they really should go on to next round! Barcelona will play against Shaktar. This will be an easy task for the Catalans. But Shaktar really enjoyed this competition and they have made the best out of it as they have already reached the quarter finals! But i think that this will be the maximum, because Barca is playing a terrific game and they are very hard to beat...having said that, its soccer and setbacks happen here every time!
Inter will play against Schalke, both teams have given Bayer hard time this season, as Schalke dumped Bayern out of German cup, and Inter threw them out of the UEFA Cup! And now they come face to face to fight with each other for the place in the semis! Inter obviously having an upper hand, they are a far better team than Schalke so they should go through to the next round!
UEFA Quarter-Finals Draws:
Real Madrid vs Tottenham Hotspur
Chelsea vs Manchester United
Barcelona vs Shakhtar Donetsk
Inter Milan vs Schalke
Fixture Dates:
First leg: 5/6 April 2011
Second Leg: 12/13 April 2011

The Champions League's first knock-out stage is upon us, and there are already several match-ups that can make any fan drool with anticipation. Here's how things look up this year.
First, the confrontation between Manchester United and Inter Milan reunites old nemeses Sir Alex Ferguson and Jose Mourinho. Both teams are currently sitting at the top of their respective leagues and have been making headlines recently for their impeccable defensive play. United's Edwin Van der Sar has broken the British record for consecutive clean sheets in a season while it takes a great deal of resiliency to break through Milan's disciplined back-four. Both teams are also solid in midfield with Esteban Cambiasso, and Dejan Stankovic orchestrating the play for Milan. United have the veteran Paul Scholes whose knack for jumping late on a play often disturbs the opposition defenders, and Michael Carrick a shutdown midfielder-type with a great vision of the field. Ryan Giggs can also come in and make an impact in center midfield for the Red Devils.
It's in attack that things differ. While Ferguson can count on the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Wayne Rooney, Dimitar Berbatov, and Carlos Tevez, Mourinho has the solid duo of Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Adriano. Both strikers are dangerous, but sometimes it feels like they work individually instead of combining their forces a far cry from United's constantly shifting forwards.
All signs point to a tight battle between both teams. Still, English clubs have the reputation to fail badly in Italy. Manchester United went against history last season by eliminating AS Roma 3-0 on aggregate (Arsenal also achieved this feat with a majestic performance at the San Siro which allowed the Gunners to eliminate AC Milan). This one has all the makings of a classic.
Next up is Arsenal who will meet AS Roma. Here we have two teams struggling to string great performances together, Arsenal more so than Roma. Arsene Wenger's men seem to have lost all the flash and creativity that distinguished their play. The loss of Fabregas and Theo Walcott has hurt considerably especially since Samir Nasri seems to be slowing down. Arshavin has shown some promises on Saturday against Sunderland, but the big question mark will be how they'll counter Roma's attacking midfield which is really the heart of the Italians' attacks. I still say they're missing a solid defensive midfielder, and their defense is prone to mistakes when facing relentless pressure.
Barcelona is the only club in this round of 16 which can expect an easy victory barring a miraculous performance by Olympique Lyon a highly unlikely possibility. The Spanish giants seem to have slowed down in their domestic season probably due to the number of fixtures packed in January-February. You can be sure that Pep Guardiola isn't too happy about his team's recent results so expect Barcelona to come out guns blazing on Tuesday.
The final confrontation taking place this Tuesday will see Atletico Madrid facing Porto a balanced match if you ask me. But don't expect either the team to go far past this round.
I'll post Part II sometime between tonight and tomorrow afternoon.
Group A
Chelsea CFR Cluj: 2-1
The return of Joe Cole and Didier Drogba proved to be instrumental in Chelsea's qualification for the next round as Droga scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute

Group A
Bordeaux Chelsea: 1-1
What is going with the Blues lately? Not only they are slowing down in the Premiership, their Champions League latest performances are leaving a lot to be desired. After convincingly defeating Bordeaux 4-0 in Matchday 1, they could only get a draw in the return match. Are they simply exhausted or are other teams figuring them out? Thanks to this draw, Bordeaux still have a chance to qualify. They'll have to defeat Roma on Matchday 6 to get through

Group A
Chelsea CFR Cluj: 0-0
Cluj are continuing to impress everyone on the European stage. After defeating Roma 2-1 on Day 1, they held Chelsea to a scoreless draw which keeps them in second place. Granted, Chelsea didn't play very well. Without Joe Cole on the wing, they lacked the mobility necessary to stretch Cluj's compact defense. The Blues started with a 4-3-3 formation but suprisingly looked better with a 4-4-2 once Anelka came on in the second half. However, Drogba's injury before the hour-mark erased all the momentum they had at the start of the second period while Cluj gained in confidence as time went on. The Romanian even tested Cech late in the game but everyone could tell that they were equally satisfied with a draw
