UEFA Champions League 2007-08: Group C Preview

REAL MADRID

Werder Bremen

Lazio

Olympiakos

At first look, Group C seems to be a tough group for the clubs. Well, it is half true. There should be no competition for the first position as Real Madrid should become number one in this group easily. Well, you can never say what happens in Champions League football. For example, last year, Real Madrid could not become the top club in their group and Real Madrid had an early exit from the knockout stage. So, this will give some hope to the other 3 clubs but I don’t think that the other 3 clubs can come near to Real this time. Anyway, I think that Real Madrid is the favorite to top the group. They have perhaps the strongest squad in club football today.

The other 3 players will have to fight for the second position in Group C. Werder Bremen and Olympiakos did not have good performance last season. Lazio is back in Champions League action. They have everything to play for. I fancy Lazio doing well. Lazio was in the third position of last season of Italian League.
