    <br><div><br></div><div>At least they get the right to dream .....sadly in asian football the lower ranked teams are not at all promoted to come up and we see only teams from 8-10 countries dominating the club and country football.....the asian format in club tournament should be on lines of UEFA tournaments </div>

I like the AFC format. Obviously it is not perfect but nor is the UEFA one either. Both got there many faults but where the AFC is better for me is using the international tournaments as a sort of prize. You have to earn the right to join the AFC Champions League and if you are really shit, earn the right for AFC Cup. </div><div style="font-family: Arial, Verdana; font-size: 10pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; line-height: normal; "><br></div><div><font face="Arial, Verdana" size="2">The AFC could of course make the AFC Cup more like the Europa League and allow maybe 2 clubs from South Korea, Japan, Australia ect in the competition but that would overcrowd. Also look at the calendar. The AFC Calendar runs from February to November. All within 1 year. UEFA is all year round and every country follows there calendar. Not every AFC league follows AFC (India for example). </font></div>

    Amazing, Bayern showing us that you can play great football that is different style to barca and that they destroyed them. Now Dortmund do one over Real.

    Saw the match. Barca were totally listless. Probably the only chance they got in front of the open net was blasted away. All the 4 goals were scored because BM players were allowed to enter penalty box without any resistance and after that they could do nothing. Very disappointing to see Barca play this way. But BM deserves the Champions League this time. They already have one foot in the final with 4-0 win
