For the first time in many years we see that none of the Spanish clubs are able to make it to the last eight of the champions league. Italian soccer clubs which had hit a low around 2001-02 bounced back in the 2002-03 season, with Internazionale, AC Milan & Juventus all making it to the semi finals of the Champ. League. This year again Italian prospects look good with AC Milan, Internazionale & Juventus all into the last eight. For the English supporters, Liverpool crush German Bayer Leverkusen to make it to the last eight of the Champ League. Liverpool & Chelsea's rich men have kept English hopes alive.
