After overcoming Napoli in grand style, Madrid was ousted by the eventual Champions Manchester City, who appeared to have more than just luck on their side - they had pockets full of fucken four leaf clovers because every ball fell in their lap over the two encounters.
"We were certainly up against it in Manchester - they just got every bounce of the ball. We played well - but nothing worked for us." JM said after the losses.
"But we will try again next year - with an improved squad - I am confident we can do better."

Perhaps the biggest disappointment award goes to Barcelona. With perhaps one of the easier ties of the draw against Spanish rivals Valencia, they were expected to go through with little resistance.
However Valencia hadn't read the script. They dominated the 2nd leg of the tie at home to Barcelona to clinch a memorable victory.
"I can't believe whats happening. First we saw what happened in La Liga, now this." SB was left with little to say after the defeat.
"Its so hard to win a Champions League these days." He added before storming off.

It appears we must wait another season - for another version of FIFA before SB or JM can compete for Champions League glory.
For SB, he must forever cling to the treble win of 2011. With nothing new to celebrate in over 2 years, Who can blame him.
For JM - his dream of a Champions League title will continue until he can put together a Real Madrid team that can finally put to rest the demons of a heartbreaking final loss to Bayern Munich 2 years ago.
Until then my friends.
