Match Preview: OM vs. Zurich (Game 4, Champion’s League)

It’s time for a confrontation between Hatem and Stephane…

By: Sarah | Comments No Comments

One of my favorite things about the build up to the classico is definitely the Nike commercials.  Last year, they released the V is for Victory videos with Hoarau’s header, Ben Arfa playing pétanque and then these interviews (and here and here).
