UEFA Champions League 2013: How do the teams stack up?

Will Real Madrid finally clinch La Décima?

Gareth Bale and Ronaldo: Can the duo take Real Madrid all the way?

With an attacking trio of Gareth Bale, Cristiano Ronaldo and Isco leading the charge, not many defenses will have the wherewithal to withstand the relentless onslaught. And whilst their defense does look shaky, they might very well, not have any need for it. After all, when you have the world’s most expensive and most paid players in Bale and Ronaldo, leading the charge, you really don’t need much else.

The arrival of Carlo Ancelotti might prove to be a master stroke. In him, Real have a manager whose European pedigree, speaks for itself. After all, you don’t win two European Cups as both player and manager without being half decent at what you do. And he might prove to be the final piece in the Jigsaw as Los Blancos look set to break the curse and finally bring home ‘La Décima’.
