Well it’s Sunday morning and the weekend’s big games are over – I didn’t see Real Madrid’s 3-0 victory over Tenerife but one of my merengue mates still isn’t really convinced about how Madrid play. Good result, though and they go top of the table on goal difference.

The Barça game in Malaga was pretty tough – Weligton looked like a man with a licence to kill! But Ibrahimovic came on for Henry and very quickly put FC Barcelona ahead – that’s 5 goals in his first five games. Historic!

Gerard Pique - FC Barcelona's Piquenbauer

The player that really impressed me though – he came on for Chygrynskiy and suddenly the Barcelona defence started to connect with midfield – Xavi in particular. Pique just gets better and better – and what’s more he even scored. The new Franz Beckenbauer – Piquenbauer.

The other two games were pretty tasty – Sevilla’s impressive 4-0 victory over Athletic Bilbao and a draw against Valencia was a good result for Atletico.

Looking forward to Tuesday with Barcelona v Dinamo Kiev in Camp Nou and Sevilla away to Rangers.

Wednesday sees FC Porto against Atletico de Madrid and Real Madrid at Santiago Bernabeu against Marseille.

In the 2008-09 Champions League campaign, he scored 9 goals in 12 games and this video shows all all of them.

He scored 2 in the first game against  Shaktar Donetsk and two more against FC Basel – one in each match. Then he scored another against Sporting Lisbon. One more against Olympique Lyonnais. There were two more against Bayern Munich.

And then came the best of all – his header in the Champions League Final against Manchester United in Rome.

ANSWER:

The 2009-2010 UEFA Champions’ League group stage features 8 groups with 4 teams drawn in each group. All the teams in the same group play each other twice – home & away. The top two teams from each group will progress to the 1st knock-out stage of the competition while the 3rd place team enters the 1st knock-out stage of the UEFA Europa League – UEFA’s second football club competition.

The 16 teams which qualify as the top two teams from the group stage will again be drawn against each other for a two leg knock-out match. the matches will feature the group winners against the other group runners-up.

In this stage, there is the country protection for the draw which means that teams from the same country cannot be drawn together & teams qualified from the same group stage will not be drawn together either. The 1st round of the knock-out stage will be played as home & away ties with the 1st leg match hosted by the group runners-up. The return leg will be played at the home of the group winners.

The teams which score the most goals or the highest aggregate scores will progress to the quarter-finals. If the aggregate scores are level after 90 minutes or the extra time, the first tiebreaker will be the away goals scored & the teams which scored more away goals than the other team will be the winner of this match-ups. Penalty shoot-outs are used to decided the winner if the aggregate scores & the away goals scored are still level.

8 teams left in the competition will then again be drawn against each other in a two leg quarter-final & semi-finals matches. In this stage, any team can be drawn against each other which means that there could be a potential matches featuring teams from the same country. The first team drawn will host the 1st leg. The teams which score the most goals or the highest aggregate scores will progress to the semi-finals. (as above)

The 2009-2010 UEFA Champions’ League final will be played at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu in Madrid, Spain on Saturday, 22 May 2009, kick-off is 20:45 Central European Time (CET). this is the first time that the UEFA Champions’ League will be played on Saturday.

It was played in Barcelona – I’d been offered tickets but couldn’t go because I had to give the final English class to a group of examinees for Cambridge University’s FCE exam.

I gave my class but had a telly on (with the sound turned down) in the corner of the room.

When the class finished Bayern were 1-nil up and the janitor wouldn’t let me stay to watch the end of the game.

I got back to my local in Barcelona and everyone started shaking my hand and congratulating me – I thought they were taking the piss until I saw the Sports Round-Up. ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!

First the great Teddy Sheringham and then Solskaer from a Beckham corner – both of them had come on as subs and they had to leave it till extra time.

One of the best nights ever and my Spanish mates wouldn’t let me pay for a single drink.

BRILLIANT!!!!

It also shows the full lyrics of the Champions League Anthem, where the choir sings in a mixture of English, German and French.

That’s why we Spaniards and our Italian cousins didn’t understand the words. I think we should have a Champions League Anthem in Spanish and Italian – after all, we win it a lot more often than the French and the Germans!!!!
