Real advance at long last

I guess we all had forgotten that Real Madrid had won the UEFA Champions League title 8 times before, thanks to Lyon's dominance over the Spanish Galatico. Real won 3-0 against the French at the Santiago Bernebeu for the first time after 7 previous attempts.

Marcelo, Benzema and Di Maria were the scorers. We rae left to wonder if this is Jose Mourinho's year. The Special One is under the microscope as he attempts a record that may never be broken; winning the European championship with 3 different clubs fron different leagues.

Chelsea qualified for the quarter-finals and didn't have to win to do so. They fired blanks all night and the 0-0 with Coppenhagen draw was enough to see them go through. It remains to be seen what the draw brings on Friday. For many, it will be a moment of truth, especially Real.
