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.

Eduardo's back heel onto Arshavin, who runs and takes the ball and finds the pass to Diaby, who
sets himself up and scores.
That my friends was the goal of the night and the fourth for Arsenal against AZ Alkmaar. The
football recently played by Arsenal is nothing short of phenomenal, offensively of course.

They must fall. And so four games in, the Champions League contenders and pretenders have been

Arsenal 4 AZ Akmaar 1
Ronald Koeman's freaky run against Arsenal and English teams in general was abruptly brought to
an end. It could have been a lot worse had Arsene decided to keep a Fabregas keen to get his
hatrick as well as the stand in goal creating machine in Arshavin.
Barely three minutes had gone when a few one touch passes led to Van Persie firing just wide
across goal.

Free-scoring Arsenal continued their dominance of Champions League Group H with a stunning 4-1
drubbing of AZ Alkmaar on Wednesday night.
The Gunners are in top spot and unbeaten in their group, and proved far too classy for the Dutch
visitors at The Emirates, where skipper Cesc Fabregas bagged a brace and was joined on the
scoresheet by Samir Nasri and Abou Diaby, who netted a sublime fourth of the night on 72 minutes
after some flowing build-up play from Eduardo and Andrey Arshavin.

Phew, writing something vaguely interesting (even for me) at this time of the night here is
hard enough. Where do I start? I know, I'll start with a Lithuanian most of you have forgotten
about.
I was watching (albeit very briefly) Inter at Livorno the other day. It finished 2-0 to Inter
btw.

I don't know about you but I'm still smarting from the two points dropped at Upton Park last
Sunday. Having watched a recording of the game (I was at Wembley watching the NFL game) I'm even
more depressed. We were so in control in the first half but we simply don't seem to have the killer
instinct.

My first day in Buenos Aires turned out to be the day of the superclasico, even though I
scheduled it months before the schedule came out. Fate? Perhaps. Unfortunately, fate also worked to
have me arrive too late to attend the match. Fate can be fickle. Because of the fickle finger of
fate, the only picture I have is a blurry one of a television screen showing the end of the match
in a café in Buenos Aires.

It was his birthday and the AGM was conducted in a very different atmosphere from the last
meeting. So of course, in the warm bask of accolades and affection, one tends to become
magnanimous.
But I saw the AZ Alkmaar match and if we are to win a major trophy, we need to do much much
better.

No Drogba, no problem. Chelsea did what three other British teams couldn't do this week in the
Champions League - comfortably beat clearly inferior opposition.
While Liverpool lost to Lyon, Arsenal could only draw with AZ Alkmaar, and Manchester United could
only scrape by Juande Ramos' CSKA Moscow 1-0, Chelsea had absolutely no problem disposing of
Atletico Madrid at Stamford Bridge.

In one of the most shocking UEFA Champions League matchdays in recent memory, no fewer than four of
Soccer Source's Top 25 clubs were upset or had to settle for draws. The biggest, undoubtedly, was
No. 1 Barcelona's fall from grace in a stunning 2-1 home loss to No. 23 Rubin Kazan. Few soccer
fans had even heard of the Russian upstarts before the group stage draw, and the club appeared
destined to fade from memory just as quickly when it lost at Dynamo Kiev on the first matchday.
