Champions League 2012/13

Up 6-1 now, barring late heroics by Shakhtar they are through

Shaktar still go through on head to head with Chelsea even though chelsea have better goal difference.

First time ever a defending champion has been bundled out in the first round.

Should be a good day now!!

Yeah I though both games finished 2-1 but in the second game Chelsea won 3-2.
So in head to head it finished 4-4 with the away goals getting Shakhtar over the line

Looks like Messi might have done a knee and he was only one goal short of the record for most goals in a calendar year.

[Wedgie]

Reports are now that its bruised and he might be OK for next week.

[RoosterMarty]

It would be a shame if it was a serious injury considering he only came off the bench to chase the record. It was a meaningless game for Barca.

Shakhtar Donetsk v Borussia Dortmund
AC Milan v Barcelona
Real Madrid v Manchester United
Valencia v Paris St Germain
Porto v Malaga

[RoosterMarty]

No surprised to see United draw Real. It is a bit rigged.

I expected Arsenal to draw Barca too, but their tie against Bayern should be a beauty. It could get ugly in Munich though if their defence isn't on their game.

Makes it more embarrassing for you. Great title defence you should be so proud. You may have been more successful lately but were still miles ahead in that department.

Both ties look to be over, embarrassing result for Celtic and I can't see Valencia doing much in Paris.

Dont think the return leg in Turin will be a blow out.
Juve have some big games in the league coming up so it wouldnt surprise me if they field a weakened team.
If they play full strength they will destroy Celtic.
Wouldnt be shocked to see Valencia turn their tie around

[RoosterMarty]

Juve could field a C team and still cruise through.

I missed the last couple of minutes of the PSG game, I left for work just after Valencia scored, so did not realise Ibra was stupidly sent off. That certainly gives Valencia a chance.
