Champion League - review 18/19 March 2014

In this weeks Champions League games Barcelona beat Manchester City by two goals to one on the night and overall by four goals to one. 

It was always going to be a tough ask for Manchester City to turn around a two goal deficit and going down to to ten made their mission impossible. 

However Man City can now focus all their efforts on winning the Premiership where they have a two game advantage.

Elsewhere Manchester United beat Olympiakos by three goals to nil and winning the tie by three goals to two. 

To be fair I would have been really shocked if Olympiakos had beaten Man United at Old Trafford. 

This win did ease the pressure on David Moyes as some fans don't believe that he will bring Man United silverware.

 So this win was a stay of execution for David Moyes the problem for him is the battle gets even tougher from here. 

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.
