JUVENTUS 4 (Marchisio 6, Vidal 23, Giovinco 37, Quagliarella 75)
NORDSJAELLAND 0

Marchisio tapped in Juve's first from an Isla centre. Vidal tackled a
defender as he delayed making a clearance and poked the ball in from an
acute angle. Giovinco scored his first Champions League goal on the
counter attack, whipping a right foot shot in off the left post.
Quagliarella headed in the fourth via Matri from a Pirlo corner.

As routine a victory as you would expect given the level of opposition.
Juve's first European win in 9 games. They need to beat Chelsea in a
fortnight to make sure they avoid the embarrassment of an early exit.

Attendance : 37,165
Assists : Isla, n/a, Pirlo, Matri


CHELSEA 3 (Torres 6, Oscar 40, Moses 94)
SHAKHTAR DONTESK 2 (Willian 9, Willian 47)

Rakytskyi sold his 'keeper short on a backpass and his attempted
clearance went in off the rent boy. Fernandinho skipped past Ramires,
Cole, Hazard and Luiz before pulling back a centre, via a deflection,
for Willian. Shakhtar's awful goalkeeper came 20 yards off his line to
head clear a Mata cross, Oscar bounced the ball off his chest and from
just outside the centre circle sent a lob sailing over his head and into
the back of the net. Great goal. Fernandinho played a lovely ball inside
the Chelsea defence to find Srna out wide and Willian tapped in his
cross to equalise for a second time. Moses headed in a last second
winner from a corner.

Attendance : 41,067
Assists : n/a, n/a, n/a, Srna, Mata (ck)


BAYERN MUNICH 6 (Schweinsteiger 5, Pizarro 18, Robben 23, Pizarro 28,
Pizarro 33, Kroos 66)
LILLE 1 (Kalou 58)

Schweinsteiger began the rout with a brilliant free kick. I don't think
I've ever seen him score a free kick. Pizarro whacked in the first of
his goals from the edge of the box. Robben scored the third via a
deflected free kick. Pizarro scored Bayern's fourth and the best in this
week's games with a spectacular mid-air volley then combined with Lahm
for his hat-trick goal. Kalou beat Neuer all ends up with a brilliant
shot from the edge of the box. Lahm completed a hat-trick of assists
with a pass to Kroos.

Attendance : 64,500
Assists : Schweinsteiger, n/a, n/a, Lahm, Lahm, Balmont, Lahm


VALENCIA 4 (Jonas 26, Soldado 29 Pen, Feghouli 51, Feghouli 86)
BATE BORISOV 2 (Bressan 53, Mozolevski 83)

Jonas punished sloppy control by a Bate defender to give Valencia the
lead. Valencia's penalty was naturally the result of a dive. Gago got
the drop on a defender dithering in possession and split the Bate
defence for Feghouli's first. Bressan's free kick went straight through
the legs of Valencia goalkeeper Guaita. Gago gifted the visitors a
second with a mindless piece of dribbling on the edge of his box but
Feghouli put paid to any hopes of a comeback when he fired home his
second from a Banega (who is still wearing that ridiculous hair-band
that screams Gaylord) cross.

Attendance : 38,000
Assists : n/a, Guardado (won pen), Gago, Rodinov (won fk), Rodionov, Banega


BENFICA 2 (Cardozo 55, Cardozo 69)
SPARTAK MOSCOW 0

Cardozo headed in Melgarejo's cross then scored a terrific low volley
before reminding everyone that he's one of the biggest cunts in the
history of the game when he missed a penalty - just as he did against
Spain in the 2010 World Cup.

Attendance : 35,675
Assists : Melgarejo, John


CELTIC 2 (Wanyama 21, Watt 83)
BARCELONA 1 (Messi 91)

Wanyama got above midget Alba to head in Mulgrew's corner. Forster had
an epic game in the Celtic goal. Midget Xavi failed to deal with a
goalkick straight down the middle and 18 year old striker Tony Watt ran
through two defenders and as Valdes came off his line he slotted the
ball into the bottom left corner. A hell of a way to mark his Champions
League debut. UEFA's favourite team were given a reprieve when
Mascherano escaped a red for pulling down Watt minutes later. Flat track
bully Messi scored in injury time but Celtic held on to hand Barcelona
their first group stage defeat in three years and first of the season.

Teams should always play route one against Barcelona. They cannot handle
physicality of course the main issue is refs bow down to their diving
and cheating while booking opposition players for the same thing.
Barcelona are not a team that should be admired, they are despicable
cheats and a chequebook club.

Attendance : 55,283
Assists : Mulgrew (ck), Forster (fk), n/a


BRAGA 1 (Alan 49 Pen)
MANCHESTER UNITED 3 (Van Persie 80, Rooney 84 Pen, Hernandez 92)

Evans checked Custodio to concede the first penalty. Beto came miles off
his line to snub a counter attack so RVP sent the ball over his head.
Idiot. Rooney dived to win a penalty and Hernandez scored United's third
when sitting on his backside.

Same old story for United this season - good going forward, horrendous
at the back and in that respect Van Persie adds nothing to the team,
they are capable of scoring without him.

Attendance : 19,015
Assists : Custodio (won pen), Giggs, Rooney (won pen), n/a


CLUJ 1 (Sougou 53)
GALATASARY 3 (Yilmaz 18, Yilmaz 61, Yilmaz 74)

Yilmaz scored the first of his three goals with a superb flick header.
Sougou exposed the ridiculous interpretation of the current offside rule
to equalise. Kapetanos ran ahead of the Gala defence as Bastos sent in a
through ball towards him but the linesman didn't blow and Sougou scored.
Yilmaz restored Galatasaray's lead at the back post and completed his
hat-trick with a brilliant solo goal. He turned a defender inside and
out before nutmegging Felgueiras.

Attendance : 19,520
Assists : Altintop, Bastos, Altintop, Inan


6 November 2012

DYNAMO KYIV 0
PORTO 0

Attendance : 52,000
Assists : n/a


PSG 4 (Alex 16, Matuidi 61, Menez 65, Hoarau 80)
DINAMO ZAGREB 0

Alex volleyed in from close range after Ibrahimovic worked a short
corner with Lavezzi. Matuidi fired in the second from another
Ibrahimovic pass and he completed a hat-trick of assists when he rolled
a centre to Menez. Hoarau tapped in a loose ball after Ibrahimovic
caused more havoc in the Dinamo Zagreb box.

Attendance : 47,000
Assists : Ibrahimovic, Ibrahimovic, Ibrahimovic, n/a


OLYMPIAKOS 3 (Machado 4, Greco 80, Mitroglou 82)
MONTPELLIER 1 (Belhanda 67 Pen)

Machado tapped in a rebound off a post. Abdoun threw down Camara to
concede a ridiculous penalty. He should have been sent off. Greco
restored Olympiakos' lead from a corner and Mitroglou finished off the
French champions when Yanga-Mbiwa misjudged a cross.

Attendance : 25,000
Assists : n/a, Camara (won pen), n/a, Holebas


SCHALKE 2 (Huntelaar 47, Farfan 67)
ARSENAL 2 (Walcott 18, Giroud 26)

Theo Walnut pounced on a loose ball as the Schalke defence fell over
each other in trying to clear a through ball. Podolski, who is used to
working with a target man (Klose) swung in a cross from the left and
Giroud flung himself at the ball to head in his first UCL goal. Cazorla
lost possession by falling flat on his face, Holtby volleyed on a cross
and Huntelaar angled a shot into the bottom corner. Holtby horribly
miscued a header and the ball spun to the back post for Farfan to equalise.

Attendance : 50,000
Assists : n/a, Podolski, Holtby, Holtby


MILAN 1 (Pato 73)
MALAGA 1 (Eliseu 40)

Isco found Eliseu with an outstanding pass inside Bonera and the Lazio
reject shot low into the left corner. Lame duck Pato headed in his first
goal of the season from a Constant cross then kissed his badge. No one
wants you at the club anymore you prick.

Attendance : 20,000
Assists : Isco, Constant


ANDERLECHT 1 (Mbokani 17)
ZENIT ST PETERSBURG 0

Attendance : 19,000
Assist : Kljestan


MANCHESTER CITY 2 (Toure 22, Aguero 74)
AJAX 2 (De Jong 10, De Jong 17)

De Jong punished woeful marking to score twice from corners. Toure, who
has been below par this season, took a defensive header off his chest
then launching himself into the air and sent a scissor kick into the
back of the net. Van Basten would have been proud. Magnificent goal.
Balotelli headed on a goal-kick and Aguero sprinted past a defender to
equalise.

Attendance : 40,222
Assists : n/a, Eriksen (ck), n/a, Balotelli


REAL MADRID 2 (Pepe 34, Ozil 89 fk)
DORTMUND 2 (Reus 28, Arbeloa 45 og)

A Lewandowski header sent Reus beyond Real Madrid high line and he
scored with a spectacular half volley. Pepe headed Real Madrid level
from a superb Ozil cross. Dortmund repeated their earlier trick,
Lewandowski headed on a longball, Grosskreutz centred and Gundogan
volleyed over Casillas. I'm not sure why UEFA recorded it as an own
goal. Ozil equalised from a free kick against his former club when
Dortmund's 34 year old goalkeeper (Weidenfeller) was too slow in getting
across his line.

Real Madrid play just like a Bundesliga side with a stupid highline and
second rate defenders. It seems no one can defend in this years competition.

Attendance : 65,000
Assists : Lewandowski, Ozil, n/a, Callejon (won fk)
