I'm not doubting that the UEFA Champions League will not be interesting if Real Madrid or Manchester City are knocked out in the quarterfinal. The interest in watching the UEFA Champions League will reduce because Real Madrid and Manchester City supporters will not want to watch the UEFA Champions League again when Real Madrid or Manchester City are knocked out.
You guys are making the Champions League look like the battle is only between Real Madrid and Manchester City. Wasn't Real Madrid kick out last season in the quarter final and yet a lot of people turn up for Inter, In fact a lot of people didn't want Manchester City to win, they want Inter to win so they can shade Manchester City because they feel City has won a lot and deserved to allow another team to win the Champions League and to say that Inter tried their best because they only conceded a single goal after many short on targets by Manchester City.
If Arsenal make it to the Champions League final, a lot of folks are going to turn up more than any of them because for a club that don't use to he consider as one of the best suddenly became an asset and then made a huge place in the Champions League is something many would want to see the end. I am not confidence in them but who knows if football is going to happen.
