*Ding Ding* let the battle begin!!! Looks like two of my favorite teams will be facing each other in the UEFA semi- finals. Those two teams are FC Barcelona and FC Bayern Munich. Last week four teams were drawn randomly to face each other in the semi – finals. Juventus and Real Madrid were both selected to face each other and Barcelona and Bayern Munich were selected to face each other. However, this will be a very interesting match up because not only two of my favorite teams are facing each other but the head coaches of Barcelona and Bayern Munich use to be teammates!!! Yes that’s right, Luis Enrique of FC Barcelona and Pep Guardiola of FC Bayern Munich were once teammates back in FC Barcelona in there younger years. And also Pep Guardiola was the former head coach of FC Barcelona. So this will be a match that will catch the attention of everyone around the world. Personally I don’t know whom I would support in this match because I love both teams and it is always hard to pick one team that you would want to really win. All I know is that two of Europe’s biggest team will be competing against each other and it will be the most intense game in the semi finals. My predictions is that the game will go into penalty kicks and that’s when fans of both teams will lose there minds because penalty shoot outs are the most heart racing thing when it comes to soccer. Who do you think will win this match? Who do you support and want to see win? Leave a comment and let me know.

Dani Alves to leave Barcelona?

Rumors have been floating around that FC Barcelona’s defender Dani Alves might be leaving the Camp Nou after his contract expires. Dani Alves was first signed with Barcelona back in 2008 from Sevilla. At the time of his first season at Barcelona, Dani Alves was the most expensive defender to be bought. Dani Alves has had much success with Barcelona over the years but that may come to an end. When other teams heard that Dani Alves contract expires this season, they all offered him a contract to play for the team. Dani Alves is Barcelona’s best defender; he has made a name for himself with his great defending and assistance with the goal scoring.

One team that is looking for a defender and that really needs a defender is Manchester United. Manchester has given Alves a contract but has given him till the end of April to respond to the deal. Although Barcelona does not want to lose there best defender they are struggling to meet with an agreement that will satisfy both parties. Dani Alves has not given any word on where he will be next season. It will most certainly be a story to read when Dani Alves decides on what he will do next season.

Neymar to transfer to Paris Saint – Germain?

  There are Rumors going around that French club Paris Saint – Germain are looking to sign left striker Neymar Jr. in the summer of 2015. It is unlikely for Barcelona to let go of Neymar before his contract ends in 2018. Neymar is developing into a better player at the Camp Nou since his signing to the club in 2013. And is becoming a threat on the left side of the field for Barcelona while scoring 24 goals so far in the 2014/2015 seasons. Although PSG are building the team to become the most dominant club in Europe, it is unlikely that they will get Neymar to transfer any time soon. However, it won’t be the last time PSG will be targeting the Brazilian superstar, only time will tell when PSG will try to make an offer for Neymar again.
