April 28, 2010

Barcelona was stunned by Inter Milan last night in an amazing display of tactical football.

Lyon 0-3 Bayern Munich Highlights

April 27, 2010

We expected Lyon to come out and show us why they got so far in the Champions League, but instead they performed poorly, in fact they performed even worse than in the first match.

Reigning French Champions Bordeaux had a hard time in Lyon last week, and will have a harder time at home trying to get back into this match. All that Bordeaux have to be glad about is getting the away goal, which still gives them no solid advantage. They’ll have to go all out and try [...]

A second leg to be played in the still freezing city of Moscow will prove to be somewhat hot, unless Inter manages to freeze CSKA’s attempts to get back into this.

After a thrilling contest at Emirates, the second leg takes us to Camp Nou for what promises to be an action packed match.
