History in the making in thriller tournament

WECL HQ - This season history will be made once all is said and done.

Only four clubs remain alive; Barcelona, Liverpool, Man Utd and Sao Pablo.

The other tournament; The Winning Eleven Champions League, is shaping up slightly different; yet history still will be made regardless of the outcome. Santos could become the winner for the 5^th time of the famous tournament. On the other hand title contenders Barcelona, Chelsea, Liverpool and Madrid could become brand new winners in what is shaping up to be a fantastic finish to a thriller tournament.

The WECL
