Nicholas Otamendi might have gotten Argentina the win with the match's only goal. But it was Leo
Messi all the way and by some distance. He whipped in the corner that led to the centre back's
first goal for the Albiceleste. This was Alejandro Sabella's debut and he must have been glad the
little maestro was at hand to pull the strings.
Argentina disposed of Nigeria 3-1 in Bangladesh on Tuesday. Among the highlights was a certain
Lionel Messi robbing a certain John Obi Mikel at midfield, and turning said theft into a supreme
goal for the La Albiceleste (via Angel Di Maria).
It's all good, John. We still love you.
Balls Out for the UEFA Champions League
Tues 13 September 2011
Group E:
Chelsea-Leverkusen (Stadium: Stamford Bridge, London): The Blues should win at
home, despite not being quite settled: seems like they're still adjusting to new manager Andre
Villas-Boas, the Fernando Torres situation is still unclear, especially after AVB sat him for the
entire match over the weekend; and it's same old guys at the core of the squad (Frank Lampard, John
Terry, Ashley Cole).
