You’re looking at Munich’s Olympiastadion, which will be the host to the Women’s European Champions League Finale on May 17! The Olympiastadion was built for 1972 Olympics and it also hosted the 1974 FIFA World Cup Final. You may not recognize it because none of the games from the 2006 World Cup tournament were played there. What a waste though – the layout looks perfect for a fiesta!
This season’s quarter-finals will kick off on 14-15 March. Reigning champions Lyon (seen being very goofy above! gotta love it) have made it through to the next round. Here are the fixtures!
Arsenal Ladies FC (ENG) – Göteborg FC (SWE).
WFC Malmö (SWE) – 1. FFC Frankfurt (GER),
Olympique Lyonnais (FRA) – Brøndby IF (DEN),
1. FFC Turbine Potsdam (GER) – FC Rossiyanka (RUS)
Valencia are preparing to face stalwarts Barcelona tonight in the second Copa del Rey semi-final match up. And as demonstrated by Adil Rami in a new campaign rolled out by the Valencianos, there’s still a lot to play for. Unfortunately, this has become a recurring phrase among the Blaugrana’s opponents.
“They are the favourites, but we have a strong case for changing this.They are the best team in the world, but we have two games against them and I think that we can beat them. We aren’t scared.”
