February Champions League Matchup to see


David Beckham vs Manchester United


Just days before the UEFA Champions League draw in Nyon, Golden Balls stated his dream of facing Manchester United as he returns to AC Milan for a second loan spell.

Your wish is my command Sir!

Becks will face Sir Alex Ferguson and his mighty Red Devils in the Round of 16. After some 265 games in a United jersey, England's finest dead-ball specialist will now take aim at the man who famously caught him with a flying boot in the dressing room.

Can Beckham rally an ageing Milan side who seem to be having trouble regaining their status as one of Europe's biggest clubs or will Ferguson be shaking hands with the England midfielder after the game with a smirk on his face?

The last time Beckham represented Milan, he became an instant hero for the Rossenneri.

This will be one of Beckham's biggest games in an illustrious career. Can he boot the Red Devils out of Europe? Pun intended!



Jose Mourinho vs Chelsea


As the media eagerly anticipated the Round of 16 Draw in Nyon, the main talking point was whether ‘The Special One' will be presented with a tie against his former side.

Just like Beckham vs United, fate had it that Mourinho should be given a chance to face Carlo Ancelotti's Blues.

Ironic as it may be, Mourinho could be the same man hired by Roman Abramovich to win the Champions League trophy could be the one to thwart the Russian mogul's longtime dream.

The Portuguese shaped and groomed his current side into a similar style he imprinted on Chelsea so this tie will most likely come down to individual brilliance.

Will Samuel Eto'o give Mourinho bragging rights at least till the next time the two sides meet or can Didier Drogba come back to haunt his favourite manager?
