Champions League Update!!!
Don't hate the player hate the game
- Scores for today's games.
- Chelsea 4 Barca 2. As predicted, Chelsea go through 5-4 on aggregate.
- AC Milan 1 United 0. As predicted, Milan go through 2-0 on aggregate.
- Lyon 7 Bremen 2. As NOT predicted, Lyon go through 10-2 on aggregate.
- Chelsea vs. Barca game
- Referee Collina nearly tipped the balance of the game by awarding an unrightful penalty for Barca when Chelsea were up 3-0. Ronaldinho barley put it in with Cech diving the right way.
- Joe Cole is clearly the man-of-the-match. He was not expected to start and instead turned up to play hard. He managed an assist, two shots on target, and a shot that hit the post. Definetly played well.
- Ronaldinho obviously played a part in Barca's defeat by keeping the ball too long. He failed to create any chances for his strike partner Samuel Eto'o.
