Champions League quarter-finals: Are English teams the new dominant force in Europe?

[silam]

For the first time in 10 seasons, four teams from one country will compete in the last eight of the Champions League.

Liverpool's victory over Bayern Munich in the last 16 means England will now provide 50% of the quarter-final teams in Europe's top club competition, with Manchester City, Manchester United and Tottenham the other Premier League sides present.

It evokes memories of the 2000s and the two successive seasons that England provided four quarter-finalists (along with six finalists in five years and two winners - Liverpool in 2005 and Manchester United in 2008).

But is this season's repeat a sign of England's resurgence on the biggest stage?

I'd like to think that an English team will win it this year, Man City being the most likely. Though I wouldn't say that England is once again the dominant power in European Football. We'll only know that in a couple of years time, though it's good signs we're getting for sure.

I hope this year can be the Juventus turn... Here in Italy we need it to shout the mouth to many people! :))

New dominant? I don't think, it's just an illusion, Uk teams always lost at the end.
