Estamos en esto de las complacencias y revisando el buzón me piden que les ponga el Calendario de
la Champions League.
Por supuesto que si, debemos de ver el fútbol de la mejor calidad y este 2009 y 2010 habrá mucho
fútbol internacional.
This season's Champions League has thrown a few names at us that very few people from this side of
the continent have heard of. With another night of great European action soon to commence, I've
decided to give you a run-through of the teams that'll be looking to announce themselves on the
European stage.
The UEFA Champions League began its group stage on Tuesday with many of the favorites in action
such as Manchester United, Chelsea, Real Madrid, and Bayern Munich. There were not many upsets as
most of the favorites won their matches. Here's a recap of all the matches along with video
highlights for Tuesday, September 15, 2009.
Sergio Agüero and Atlético Madrid cannot see or find their form.
Atlético Madrid prolonged their faltering start with a 1-1 draw against Racing Santander on
Saturday. Even with a man advantage for the majority of the second half, they lacked the
finishing touch to nip the win from a feisty Santander side.
"Please, no acclaim, I'm just a humble footballer... who scored twice from two incredible free
kicks."
The group stage of the Champions League began on Tuesday evening, and two La Liga outfits looked
to initiate the exorcism of their personal demons.
Real Madrid and its galácticos played its first Champions League match of the season
against an upstart FC Zürich team who, before the match, seemed more interested in whom they would
swap shirts.
Group A
Juventus 1-1 Bordeaux -- In a rain-soaked Stadio Olimpico, the French champs earned a point on an
offside (but not called) equalizer by Jaroslav Plasil in the 75th minute.
Maccabi Haifa 0-3 Bayern Munich -- Thomas Muller netted a brace (that's four goals now in four
games for him) as the German side throttled the sorry Israeli hosts.
Atletico Madrid-Apoel Nicosia
Atletico Madrid was able to grossly out shoot their opponent in this one with 10 shots on target
to APOEL's 1. But in the end neither club could score and Atletico Madrdi remains a squad
struggling to find the net. Next match will be against FC Porto who just lost to Chelsea, so both
clubs need a win in that battle.
So, with the UEFA Champions League group stages kicking off today, I thought it might be a good
idea to have a little fun with it.
With that in mind, it's time to introduce the Fighting Talker UEFA Champions League Prediction
Contest. Now, the budget here at FT is still in the developmental stages, so there's not really a
prize.
