CL Time again


It's time again for the crucial Champions League matches and it's kinda strange not to see ManU in the list there. After being dumped out of the CL in the previous round, the ties looked inviting with...
Arsenal facing Real,
the Italian giants -Milan - against the German giants - Bayern,
Liverpool facing Benfica,
Lyon taking on PSV,
Ajax against Inter,
Rangers take on Villareal,
Juve against Werder Bremen,
and the world waits for yet another encounter between Chelsea and Barca!

In the First leg, Milan - who I hope win this time around - salvaged a draw with a Shevchenko penalty after Ballack had put Bayern ahead with a brilliant lob which Dida could do nothing about. The 1-1 draw makes the second leg even more interesting now as both the teams have a say in it. In the other games of the night, Arsenal claimed a shock win against Real with none other than Henry scoring the vital goal which saw them pull one over the Galacticos. Benfica stunned Liverpool 1-0, but the reds will be looking to slaughter them at Anfield in the second leg. And Lyon managed to extend their fine run with a 1-0 win over PSV.
Tonight's second round of the first leg will be entertaining as well with all eyes especially on the Chelsea-Barcelona encounter! Let the best team win!
