We have gotten to the business end of the tournament now. I am really looking forward to the Benfica - Chelsea match, expecting some fireworks.
We have really good representation from South American teams among the 16, I was hoping Sundowns will be able to make it through but that was not to be.
defense? After all the funds being deployed to CB reinforcement since January ?
They have not really broken into the squad yet, some of their January signings were future investments and not to fix their current crisis at the time, which came as a surprise to me that they spent so heavily at that time of the season and we still saw lots of defensive lapses all the way through to the end of the season.
Ait Nouri is a good acquisition, but I suspect they will be looking to get more from him going forward than at the backline.
