Following the humiliation of the two Spanish giants, Barcelona and Real Madrid by their German counterparts, the question in the lips of many is: could this be the end of reign of Spanish football, seen as the best in the world?


The UEFA Champions League semi-final opening leg came with surprises. As expected, not many soccer lovers believed that Barcelona and their arch-rival, Real Madrid would lost the way they did in Germany on Tuesday and Wednesday nights respectively. Losing by 4 goals each, followers of the Spanish football clubs are still wondering what went wrong.

Not that they lost is the problem, after all, no team is unbeatable. However, the problem is the margin in which they lost to their opponents- Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund (0-4, 1-4 respectively)
When Madrid was drawn with Dortmund, not a few persons gave the German side a chance. Many believed that Madrid had already qualified for the final as beating Dormund would be as easy as anything else. However, they were forced to think otherwise Wednesday night when Dortmund outplayed, outclassed and humiliated Madrid 4-1.

 Now the question is can Madrid and Barcelona spring surprises in the returning legs in Spain?

 Are we seeing the return of dominance of Germany in world soccer arena? What do you think?
