The fourth round of group stage matches took place this week and a number of teams booked their
places in the knockout stages. Although after this round of games there are no perfect sides left
in the competition.
Bordeaux dominated Bayern Munich for a second time in a fortnight. They beat the Germans 2-0
with goals from Gourcuff and Chamakh which puts them in the knockout stages.

Goalkeeper: Hugo Lloris (Lyon)
Hugo Lloris showed Liverpool fans why he is France's number one keeper. While the Reds poured on
the pressure he stood firm and made some brilliant saves early on against Kuyt, Torres, and
Voronin. It took a wonder-strike from Babel to finally beat him.
Centre Back: Lucio (Internazionale)
Lucio showed why he is rated so highly around Europe.

Apoel Nicosia vs FC Porto
FC Porto will look to lock up second place in Group D with a win against Nicosia. The 2-1
victory a fortnight ago did not represent the game. Porto out-played the Romanian side for the
better part of the game and Hulk should have had a hat-trick at least.

ago.

getting two red cards.

Real Madrid will be travelling to Milan on Tuesday without Cristiano Ronaldo. The current "World
Player of the Year" is still recovering from his ankle injury but will miss at least one more
Champions League match.
Real Madrid has to hope to turn around their recent run of poor form with a victory in Italy but
Milan is a side who are steadily improving.

Goalkeeper: Igor Akinfeev (CSKA Moscow)
Despite being on the losing side Akinfeev kept his team close with Manchester United testing him
eight times and only finding the net once. The Russian international is a top-class keeper and
denied the likes of Berbatov Valencia a number of times.
Centre-Back: Sebastien Squillaci (Sevilla FC)
Squillaci has plenty of Champions League experience and is will be an important part of
Sevilla's side if they want to make a run.
