UEFA Champions League

 The Uefa Champions League, the most prestigious club soccer tournament in the world, is undergoing its third match-day this week, on tuesday and wednesday. After the first day of the match-day, there are top guns that found themselves surprised after loosing to the underdogs, specially Barcelona. The Spanish team were the Cup's champions last year, and lately have been in incredible form, only loosing one game in the whole season, tuesday on the Champions league. Barcelona played on their home field, Camp Nou, where they are pretty much unbeatable, against a not re-known Russian team, Rubin Kazam. Only after two minutes of play, the Barca (as they are commonly know) defense made their first error, and it was costly one because the bad pass originated the first goal they gave up that night. Later on the game, Barca closed the gap and tied the game 1-1, thanks to a goal by the swedish star Ibrahimovic. But yet another mistake would cost Barca the match, it was Bojan this time who made the mistake, after trying to pass the ball back, he gave it to the opposing team and the goalie found the goal on the back of his net before he knew it.
 This goes on to prove that maybe this is year that a top gun would not take it all, that maybe we are to witness a surprise and watch one of the underdogs make it all the way through and get the trophy on May. But it is yet to soon to assume this, for one loss does not mean the end of the competition for Barca, or any other top team. They are top teams for something, they know how to bounce back, and they will find a way to do it.
