Champions League review - 25th/26th February 2014

In this weeks Champions League Olympiakos beat Manchester United by two goals to nil.

It probably the worse result I have seen for Man United and you do have to wonder if David Moyes will be the manager by the end of season. 

What was most surprising is that Man United lost this game with virtually a full strength team. 

I was not surprised that Robin Van Persie missed an absolute sitter as he did the same thing when he was playing for Arsenal in the Champions League. 

I suspect if David Moyes doesn't win the home leg of this tie. I think the pressure to sack him will be overwhelming. 

 

In another surprise result Chelsea drew one all with Galatasary. In a match that Chelsea expected to win. 

But at least they got an away goal so that should definitely help them in their home leg. 

It is also notable that Chelsea where the only British team to even score a goal. So they probably have a great chance of making it to the quarter finals. 

 

Champions League - Wednesdays games

In this evening Champions League games Arsenal beat Borussia Dortmund by a goal to nil. 

It was an amazing match and to be fair before the match I would have been grateful for a draw. 

But once the Aaron Ramsey scored then I started to believe we could win this. Aaron Ramsey has been a revelation this season. 

I cannot believe it is the same player that I spent all of last season moaning about!  

Now I feel really guilty about how desparate I was Arsene Wenger to get rid of him. 

To think he has scored eleven goals this season and will probably get more. 

This was a really good win for Arsenal and apparently Arsenal are the first English team to beat Borussia Dortmund at home since 1964!

Next game is away to Manchester United and winning this Borussia Dortmund game will give the team a lot more confidence for the match against Man United. 

Chelsea beat Schalke by three goals to nil and Samuel Eto scored two goals. 

This means Chelsea need a point from their next game to ensure that they qualify for the next round. 

This was a good bounce back result for Chelsea after their surprising away loss to Newcastle. Winning this game may put them back on track. 

Champions league - Tuesdays games

In yesterday champions league games Man United drew nil nil with Real Sociedad and in a game where Robin Van Persie missed a penalty. 

However Man United are still top of their table so in all probabilities they will qualify for the next round.  

But it should have been a much easier game for them, because until last nights game, Real Sociedad had no points. 

So Under David Moyes Man United are still struggling. 

Man City did not have any problems last night and they beat CSKA Moscow  five goals to two and have qualified for the knock out stages.
