Serie A's fourth CL spot is now questionably in the Bundesliga's hands with potential changes in coefficients.

Only Real Madrid could spend £200 Million and get worse. Though I fully expect Man City will try to emulate that over the coming years.

They're not getting worse though. Going out of the Champions League this early for a club of that size is poor and unacceptable. However, they've gone out at this stage for the last six years so they haven't done worse.

There are improvements that they've made as well though. Last week they were 2-0 down against Sevilla and came back to win 3-2 a couple of years ago Madrid would never of come back from a 2-0 scoreline but they did on Saturday. Barca are dropping points which means that Madrid are provisionally top of the table with Barca still to play at the Bernabeu. If Madrid win that Barca match by two clear goals then they will be top on the head to head record as well.

Ronaldo and Kaka are starting to work well together and Gonzalo Higuain is turning into a really good player. Ronaldo percentage wise is scoring at a better rate than he did in his 42 goal season for United and he's been injured and suspended for quite a bit of this season. If they can get rid of the deadwood in the summer i.e. Guti and the increasingly ineffective Raul and bolster the squad below the first team then there could still be something in this season and beyond for Real Madrid.

If they can get rid of the deadwood, (Guti and the increasingly ineffective Raul) and bolster the squad below the first team then there could still be something in this season and beyond for Real Madrid.

How are they going to do that with the transfer window closed for this season?

The clue is in the word beyond. And the likes of Daniel Opare, Raul Matarin and Pedro Mosquera from Castilla could be capable of stepping up.

ALOL!

Predicted the result. and won some money. Skillz.

Inter were much the better team on the night. Although the failings of the referee's over the two legs where Chelsea should have had three penalties were poor.
