"In other sports like rugby and American football they have the ability to use technology at vital moments," started the Dutchman.

"In rugby and American football when the video decision is made, that's the decision. It's a fact that if technology had been in use we would be in the Champions League final now.

 

Although I did not find any comment from the side of Chelsea indicating the exact points. But it is clear to all they are indicating the foul of Didier Drogba and the hand ball inside the penalty area. At last, for bad behavior Didier Drogba has been fined. All the situation bounds them to make this comments. As a supporter, I support it especially for the crucial moment it is ok.

In the decelerated squad, I can see some new faces who did not played last few matches.

 

The skipper trained on Tuesday having missed three weeks with a hamstring injury, while Xabi Alonso returns from a ban but Daniel Agger is out (back). Steven Gerrard who is the skipper of the Liverpool club, will attend during the first match of Champions League on 25 February 2009 at 1945 GMT. Steven Gerrard has scored 11 goals in this season on the side of Livepool.

Real Madrid is looking very fresh mood because of their performances in the last few matches and some of the key players will lead the team in Paris. Rafael van der Vaart is one of them though Klaas Jan Huntelaar will not able to add sprit for the Club. Even they are getting good leadership from their manager Ramos.

 

This is not end for Real Madrid because it did beat to any team in the last 9 matches. So, these sequel victories are also very positive for the performances and determine to beat the opposition.

Despite of some painful moments from some previous matches, Liver pool manager is hopeful to present some especial thing for the fans.

 

"Steven will be in the squad. He was OK in training," said Benitez, who will be returning to his hometown for the first time as Liverpool manager. "It was a special training session so we were not testing him 100%, but he trained OK so we will see."

 

Liverpool has played along with 13 matches and secured six victories, four draws and three defeats but the last defeat was very terrible. But Real Madrid did not get any success against any English countries.
