Not necessarily. True, Germany's first and second-placed teams thrashed Spain's first and second: Barcelona lost 4-0 at Bayern and Real Madrid 4-1 at Dortmund. While Bayern is not AC Milan (collapsing), Messi is magic and as for the other match, Mourinho is a magician.

A cruel second half for Mourinho, after leaving the field at 45 minutes with an excellent result. However, do not rule Real out.

Why do I get the feeling that the Bayern-Barcelona tie is not over...yet? After Bayern Munich turned on the class to outclass Barça in Germany at the Fussball Arena in Munich, Barcelona has a four-goal disadvantage to pull back. Impossible? They'll make a go of it.

Malaga threw away a 2-1 lead and a 2-2 draw in three minutes, losing concentration and losing the game right at the end against Borussia Dortmund after drawing the first game at home in Spain. Real lost at Galatasaray but precious goals from Cristiano Ronaldo (who else?) saved the day.
