The Champions League is watched in over 70 countries, commentated in 40 languages, and has top viewerships of around 200 million for some matches. It's time we started speculating - punting IS the sport, after all. Today sees Sevilla matched up against CSKA Moskva, and we get out the black-and-white hexagonal crystal ball and try to read the future through smudges of mud and grass…

- The early exit from the UEFA Champions league for Real Madrid came as a surprise to Gerard Pique … even if nobody else is admitting it.
