The draw for the next round of the Champions League is out. The top two English clubs Manchester United and Chelsea will play against the two Italian clubs AC Milan and Inter Milan. Arsenal will play against FC Porto.
Manchester United were beaten in the Champions League season 2006/07 AC Milan. It was the last time that Manchester United did not qualify for the finals. After United had played the finaltwo seasons, 2007/08 and 2008/09. This season, the performance of Manchester United is not very catchy as in the previous season. They are still hard to fill the place of Ronaldo. In January transfer window, Sir Alex Ferguson will bring some good players on his side improved.
Chelsea will play against Inter Milan, who is currently coached by José Mourinho. Mourinho was Chelsea man to win two trophies in consecutive EPL 2004-05 Seasonand 2005-06. Mourinho unexpectedly left Chelsea in the 2007-08 season before the game against Manchester United, which Chelsea lost 2-0. Clear as he left Chelsea with some real bad memories, even if one of the most important cradles for Chelsea Football Club. Now he is all set to go to Chelsea with his Inter Milan team. It is better to say it is Chelsea vs Mourinho.
