Champions League group matches review

This week saw the last of the Champions league group matches played. Last night Man United beat Shakhtar Donetsk by one goal to nil. 

So Man United finished top of the group and this has increased there chances of doing very well in this competition.  

Man City beat Bayern Munich by a three goals to two and they will finish second in there group. 

Man City could face a top team in the last sixteen. It could be a tough route to the final. 

In last nights Champions league games, Chelsea beat Steaua Bucharest by one a goal to nil and they finish top of their group which helps to make their path to the final a little easier. 

Napoli beat Arsenal by two goals to nil and Arsenal just about qualified in second place. 

Arsenal did not play well and for some strange reason, Arsene Wenger left Jack Wilshire and Theo Walcott on the bench. 

Which is why we where short of pace up front and on the the wings. It was rather strange team selection but most importantly we are through to the next stage.

However Arsenal could now face teams like Barcelona, Real Madrid, or Bayern Munich. But I guess we want to win the trophy we should be prepared to play anybody....

Champions League Round Up 03/10/13

Champion league games took place this week. Arsenal beat Napoli two goals to nil. 

It was very good win for Arsenal and Mesut Ozil scored his first goal. The Arsenal defence played well and it has brought us that step closer to qualifying the second round. 

Chelsea had good night and as they beat Steaua Bucharest four goals to nil. This was much a needed result for Chelsea as  they lost there first game and if they had lost this game it would have made qualification for second round difficult. 

Both Manchester City and Manchester United did not have good nights. Manchester City lost lost three goals to one to Bayern Munich. 

But it is not that bad for them they still have every opportunity to qualify for the second round. 

I have to say I was shocked that Manchester United drew one all to Shakhtar  Donetsk. 

It's kind of result that heaps even more pressure on David Moyes's shoulders. It is still early in the group stages but fans can be inpatient. 

So I think a couple more poor results for Man United and Moyes will be fighting to hold on to his job.
