Soccer: Champions League fairytales

It is stories like the surprise runs by minnows Unirea Urziceni and Rubin Kazan that make the Champions League so exciting.

Both are in contention to qualify, with the Romanians looking a good bet to squeeze through in Group G. They travel to Stuttgart needing to avoid defeat to reach the last 16.

Rubin Kazan face a tougher challenge, requiring a win in the San Siro against Inter. But after upsetting Barcelona in the Nou Camp, nothing is impossible for the lively Russians.

However it turns out, both clubs have made their mark on Europe this year, bringing a refreshing feel to the competition.
