Voller expects English glory in Rome

voeller_rudi0326Rudi Voller is a former Champions League winner with Olympique de Marseille back when English dominance would not have even been spoken of. Now some 16 years later the German finds himself picking an English side to go the whole distance and lift the trophy again.

He told uefa.com. It’s not just luck that all four clubs from England reached the quarter-finals. They have overtaken even the Italian league in financial terms. That’s why it will be difficult in the future to beat these four. The best players in the world play there and the highest salaries are paid.”

Whilst promoting the financial advantages of the Premier League Voller did not rule out the threat of two other giants, FC Barcelona and Bayern Munich. Of Barcelona he said. They play the most attractive football in this Champions League. They are favourites”. Speaking of his home nations hopes he thinks “it’s going to be difficult for the English teams to defeat Bayern Munich, that’s for sure.” The odds are certainly in Englands favour with 50% if the draw, but only fate will decide if Vollers prediction is true.
