Champions League - Matchday 6 (scores included)

homerjay2005

Yes, i know its a day or 2 early, but the nerves are starting to hit in now already. It really is sh*t or get off the pot time for united, against benfica.

Also, big nights for arsenal and barcelona, amongst the other 8 teams that still can qualify.

Indeedy, I fear for Arsenal as CSKA should dispatch Hamburg while Porto can certainly get a home win.

Porto 13
CSKA 11
Arsenal 10
Hamburg 0

Is my guess.

Man Utd and Celtic - Utd should get the point they need and that'll suit Celtic too of course.

I fancy Werder Bremen to dump Barca into the UEFA cup.

Liverpool will field a team of younsters and bench warmers plus a couple of regulars who need match time.

No chance of that happening. Barcelona will win and win well.

Liverpool squad

Liverpool (from): Dudek, Agger, Riise, Alonso, Crouch, Fowler, Pennant, Bellamy, Kuyt, Carragher, Paletta, Luis Garcia, Guthrie, Peltier, Darby, Martin, Anderson, Roque.

If anyone is confused re: the Arsenal group, here is the criteria in the even of a three-way tie at the top, in descending order.

• Higher number of points obtained in the matches between the teams in question
• Superior goal difference from the matches between the teams in question
• Higher number of goals scored away from home in the matches between the teams in question
• Superior goal difference from all group matches played
• Higher number of goals scored
• Coefficient points accumulated by the club in question, as well as its association, over the previous five seasons

So basically the fourth teams results are eliminated and the other criteria are applied as usual.

Paul Tergat

Really fancy Utd to get the win we need....been playing well and were unlucky against Celtic.... 2-0 win on the cards

come on utd!!!

Hope that Roma can do it against Valencia but they may find it hard without Er Pupone. Valencia aren't in great from now either though and were beaten by recreativo at the weekend. Big one for Utd on Wed. Come on Benfica.

What happens if (unlikely I know) Chelsea lose 2-0 to Sofia and Barca beat Bremen 1-0?

Doesn't that mean Chelsea go out, or am I missing something fundamental? I've been thinking about this for a while, and its wrecking my head...

Or is it (as I've been told) based on goal diff in the matches you play against another team and not overall?

Vokes

Chelsea have already qualified i think.

If this happens then it will be between Chelsea and Bremen for 2nd Chelsea beat Bremen 2-0 at home and lost 1-0 away so would qualify.
Also my calculations suggest that if Porto and Arsenal draw then both would qualify as results would mean all sides would have a record of won 1 drawn 2 lost 1. GD Arsenal +1 Porto 0 CSKA -1. Look out for stalemate.

Valencia are missing plenty of players. Morientes, Villa, Moretti, Marchena, Miguel, del Horno, Edu, Albelda, Regueiro, Gavilán, Canizares, Ayala and Angulo. Add in the fact that Valencia have nothing to play for and their focus should be on the league I think it's a definite home win.

"Barca do not scare us; they are no better than we are," said Klaus Allofs, Werder's general manager. "This is a real final and we are facing the chance to make history. Barcelona could find themselves under pressure by their own fans and they cannot allow themselves to be knocked out."

Rijkaard replied: "When you see certain things said, you see that the fear is on the other side. If someone shouts about how they are going to qualify, they are revealing lots of doubts." Full preview

All bookies have the draw as odds on here which must be a first. Always follow the money. Both teams have done an Italian job.

Have i missed something here? are chelsea not already through?

MrJoeSoap

Chelsea are through.

Thanks.

Paul Tergat

This thread just made me second guess myself, i even went onto skysports.com just to make sure

really hope Barca go through, always want the big teams in the latter stages, makes it far more interesting.

MrJoeSoap

All neutral eyes should certainly be on the Nou Camp tonight, thats for sure!

Nah, that was my fault. Was confused myself about the rules when points finish the same in a group.

I want Barca to go through because they play entertaining football, but equally, I'd like to see them go out, as I think they're better than Bremen and them gone means less competition for Liverpool (as if that'll really matter ).

Liverpool Team

---

Dudek
Peltier-Agger-Paletta-Carragher
Pennant-Alonso-Guthrie-Riise

Fowler-Bellamy

Subs Martin Anderson Roque Darby Kuyt Crouch Garcia

Going for the win then!

Mike.

Vokes

Would be nice to see Anderson get a run out on the RW for 30mins.

Kingp35

I fancy Bremen to get a draw tonight and dump Barca into the UEFA cup. People rate Barca far too highly and Bremen are a very good side with some great players. I think it will be a score draw.

Who should we rate higher than the reigning European and Spanish champions who've also improved their squad during the summer and currently sit atop of La Liga...?

Guy:Incognito

I know its only thefirst 7 mins but if barce keeps going at Bremen the way they are theres no way they wont score.

KdjaCL

Barca 1-0

Guess who from a freek kick ?


kdjac

Kingp35

Ronaldinho jumps on the ground and then scores the free kick. Absolute joke. Forgot why I dont watch Champions League games as much.

evad_lhorg

Genius free kick too

Guy:Incognito

Came quicker than i thought.

C'mon Bremen.

kinaldo

In all 3 previous games Ronnie has played in against Bremem he's finished motm on each occasion with 2 goals and 4 assists.

Looks like he has it in for them!

Guy:Incognito

Thats that so. :mad:

Aquos76

Barca are really all over them. 2 up now

Kingp35

Game over. Bremen too busy claiming offside.

Exactly the reason the offside rule should be changed back. Offside is offside is offside. Barca on fire now, can't see Bremen coming back from this.

Guy:Incognito

Galatasary 1-1 Liverpool


Fowler scored. Yay. Go Robbie.

Aquos76

Galatasary 2-1 Liverpool

KdjaCL

How on gods earth did Giuly miss???

They actually upped the tempo and its only 2-0 atm

kdjac

kinaldo

That's one of the worst misses I've ever seen. Annoying cos it would have been some goal.

evad_lhorg

that was amazing play by Gudjohnson though.

mike65

Breman are shocking - so static. Do they know whats at stake or is that the problem?

Mike.

kinaldo

Barca are just too good for them.
