Icy stage

Round number 5 in November was like an announcer of what is coming, however this month tends to be extremely cold. For the last time in the group phase at both European Cup competitions we are awaiting 40 duels in total. Those teams which still like to play their part in the summer (knock-out rounds) needs to be well prepared, as footballers will face one serious opponent: very chilliest weather, who in some parts of the continent knows to be below zero.

As always, Champions league is going to start first with equal duels in both nights. Now it has become practice that two games are beginning earlier than others.
