Champions at full throttle

"Real wanders through Europe the Vikings once walked, destroying everything in its path"

And here we go again, the Vikings of Real Madrid, crossing the Europe that those of the feared ships once roamed, destroying opponents on our way. This edition, also at full speed.

The normal thing is that at this point in October, apart from praying to Pilarica to end the year well, we have four Champions League games left, we are in the typical season slumber, which then has to be straightened out on matchday 3, where we've picked up already some pace.

But no, this Champions League in a World Cup year doesn't give you a breath, and we're on to Matchday 4 and whoever isn't ready... will suffer it.

The latest sensations are good for us. If Real Madrid do what is due and win this matchday, we will already be first in the group. And that is fundamental, because it gives two games of margin to rotate, reward, put in competition, rest, honor or whatever is necessary.

Meanwhile, the neighbors on the corner... have a rough week. Celta deserved much more at the Camp Nou. They are touched. Defensively they are with the hook, and any plugged forward can give them a huge upset. Last week I thought that Milan night had been a mistake, and that this week they would win -and well- at the Camp Nou... but the sensations they give are very bad.

What if Inter wins in Barcelona and send them to the Europa League? It would be great for us, to eliminate a rival (of course) and to reach the league match with the possibility of winning and destroying.

This is football, and radically the opposite can happen... but the possibility is near to happen. Also we can return them that 0-4, inconsequential at the end, but they made us remember often. Because Madrid, last year, threw that game to focus on the Champions League (there was a margin in the league). It didn't go wrong. It is true that we think of the season, and not the classic. They are more into going for the classic, even if it is in August and then they pay for it in October.

But come on: it's time to win and win this week, which is not just any week. Important appointments for the season: let's go for it.
