The 2012 race was won by Mark Webber. He started the race in pole position and kept the lead until the end of the race. He was followed by Nico Rosberg on second place and Fernando Alonso on the last step of the podium. This year, we believe that the race will be very disputed.

It is very important to get a good position on the grid for qualifying, as the circuit of Monaco doesn`t allow too many overtaking chances.

Chelsea will surely have prefered to play in the great final on Wembey, but they will have to settle with the Europa League final on Amsterdam Arena next Wednesday. They are still the Champions League trophy holders and they proved they are one of the best teams in Europe by qualifying for the second consecutive year. They were eliminated from the group stage in this season of the Champions League tournament, but they had a very good Europa League tournament and have managed to reach the final. They had to play against Basel from Switzerand and won every of the two legs played. Chelsea won the first leg in Switzerland 2-1 and they took a serious advantage for the final. They won the second leg as well in England, 3-1 and qualified for the final. Benfica, the other finalist had a tougher job in the semi-final, as they had to play against a veri difficult team, Fenerbahce from Turkey. Benfica lost the first leg in Turkey, 0-1 and they knew they had to play a perfect game in the return leg in Portugal. Benfica managed to win 3-1 and also qualify for the final.

Chelsea are favorites to win this game against Benfica. They have won all the games played against Benfica in the past, two of those games being in the previous season of the Champios League, when Chelsea won 0-1 in Portugal and 2-1 in England to qualify for the semi-final against Barcelona. This time, it will be a one game only, with both teams seeking to get the trophy. We are pretty sure that both coaches will prepare this game very well, but Chelsea has the more valuable team and we believe that they have the higher chances to win the trophy. Benfica will try to block Chelsea`s attacks, but it will be very hard against Chelsea`s offensive players. They will manage to score at least once, and Chelsea will win the 2012-2012 Europa League tournament.

Both teams started the semi-finals with the disadvantage to play the first legs at home.

Now, they need the same result to get the game into overtime. Barcelona will attack from the first minute, as they need to score very fast in order to hope for a miracle.

We are very close to the time when will know the Champions League first finalist. At this moment a final between Bayern Munchen v Borussia Dortmund has 80% chances to take place,because both teams had great victories at large score differences at home and it is hard to believe that they can lose the qualification. Real Madrid will try to overturn a 4-1 deficit from the first leg , thanks to a dominant display from Dortmund and a very good play from Lewandowski,who scores all the Dortmund goals. Very few fotball fans expected to see thie kind of result in a Champions League semi-final, but that why football is such a great sport.

The second leg will be a dramatic game from the first minute , because Real Madrid have to push and scores at least one goal in the first half hour,otherwise it will be very difficult to return the result of the first leg. They need at least 3 goals to maintain the hope of qualifying for the finals, or try to take the match into overtime. Clearly, Real will take possession and try to dominate his opponent, but may become vulnerable in defense for Borussia`s high speed players which can easily remove the central defense, scores at least once and put a end to this match. Both teams have met before and almost always at least 2 goals were scored. Definitely will be very dangerous situations in both penalty boxes some of thos opportunities will be converted to goals. A very important player for Real will be Karim Benzema who plays in the first line-up in the games played at home.
