Eidur Gudjohnsen (75)

oooooooooh, heartbreak for all the Barca fans, they don't go to the next stage b'coz of the away goal rulelost. But, they fought bravely, its never easy against gritty sides like Liverpool. As for me i'm i've mixed feelings, being both a Liverpool and Barca fan, it was never going for me, but i'ld manage..[:-)]

CHAMPIONS LEAGUE’07--STAGE OF LAST 16-FIRST LEG

Well for the spectators atleast this is as good as it gets, all power packed games now on,. and for clubs, triumphs for some and tears for the rest, each game is a battle, and the home and away games funda is like icin on cake again for spectators.

So, guys here we go:--

Chelsea v/s porto
(1-1)

Mourinho’s game, one club(porto) whom he helped to win the trophy 2 yrs back, and the other his present club, who he has helped win two successive EPL titles, but will he conquer Europe this time??? If he does then that surely’ll be a slap in Roman Abramovich’s face.

A draw everything is up for grabs in this competition!!!!!!!!

ManU V/S Lille
(1-0)

Lille upset ManU last time, but this time call it god’s grace, or gigs presence of mind(mingled with his brilliance) or refree’s foolishness, ManU won this controversial game. I’m still not sure what the hell happened on field that day, but being a red’s supporter as long as they win doen’t matters to me.

Fergy this one for u, control ur temper man, after u r “Sir Alex Fergusson”

Liverpool V/S Barcelona
(2-1)

Typical Liverpool win, fight till the end and u’ll succeed. Boy, this club makes u see the fruitfulness of hard-work. This game was a feast for spectators, fluidly flowing Barcelona game against air balls and set-pieces of Liverpool(they are really good at this)

What a ball it was from Zambrotta into the centre of Liverpool D, absolute beauty and it met its end(into the back of the net from Deco’s head(superb finsh—Reyna had no chance)

Full marks to Craig Bellamy(though he missed a chance in 1st half) for being ever-watchful and super quick. Not surprisingly Kuyt was again un-impressive, he spills the ball very easily and then rushes like a kid to get the ball back and seldom he gets it. Anfiled has not been blessed with a good striker since Owen left..Rafa u got something to think abot here, u won’t get lucky everytime

Everything to watch for in the next match. Pressure’ld be on Barca, Liverpool is riding on the cushion of 2 away goals, but this’ll make the game all the more interesting, and good news to Baraca fans—Eto’o is back


Real Madrid V/S Bayer munich
(3-2)

Boy what a game, 5 goals absolute treat. And beckham once again proved his dominance in giving pin-point passes. When it come to giving air balls this guy is in a all together diff league. And Bayern doesn’t gives up easily, in the end they had scored 2 away goals, so this game is wide open, don’t miss this one


Other Matches and their results :-
ASRoma V/S Lyon

Inter V/S Valencia

Celtic V/S A.C. Milan
