Note: Sequences in bold are current
TO be honest, the winning streak will continue over the midweek, cant see how Rossi and/or Pires can break them down, not the least when it is their first match after winning the UCL and just lost a league game and with another important game coming, there is not much to see if the streak will end or not.
Nice facts and research over there.
well it will continue but to be stop by the united in the semi final.
