It all started on September 19th in the year 2000. David Trezeguet, a high profile 40 billion
lira signing from the then French champions AS Monaco, scored his first goal for Juventus an 83rd
minute winner against Panathinaikos in the Champions League.
Nine years later, the 32-year-old Frenchman, who spent his formative years in Argentina watching
his father finish his own playing career, celebrated his 167th goal for the Bianconeri, making him
the most prolific foreign goalscorer in the club's history.

Missione compiuta per Roma e Genoa che sconfiggono (col fiatone) rispettivamente Fulham e Lilla,
conquistando punti preziosi nel cammino europeo. Qualificazione ancora lontana, ma sicuramente il
successo ottenuto dalle due italiane è alquanto prezioso. Male, invece, la Lazio di Ballardini che
cade nettamente al Madrigal, contro il Villareal (4 a 1 per Giuseppe Rossi e compagni), ma nulla è
compromesso per quanto riguarda il passaggio alla fase successiva.

Well, there has been quite a bit of discussion in the post AEKBaltimore put up. Since the match
alot has happened, most regarding the horrendous officiating at the match. But first, a review.
For everyone who has been following AEK you know how incredibly unlucky we tend to be,
especially when it matters most.

Now would be the ideal time for Dopey to experiment seeing how the seleção
have already qualified for the World Cup. What we don't get, however, is tio's love for
Andre Santos!!!
Anyway, the squad for the remaining qualifiers against Venezuela and Bolivia has been finalised
and it's nice to see Naldo and Diego Souza back again.

Victor (Grêmio)
Side-backs
Maicon (Inter de Milão)

Hace un mes se sorteaba la máxima competición europea de clubes: la Champions. En el bombo
estaban equipos como el Zurich, el Unirea Uriceni, el Maccabi Haifa o el Debreceni. Equipos que han
ganado su competición doméstica y que por lo tanto sà son campeones. Más campeones que
Atlético de Madrid, Milan o Arsenal que quedaron cuatros en su competición.

Champions League was introduced in 1992 and has since become a glorious
competition. Not even the founders could have predicted it would turn out to be such a success as
the competition now generates piles of cash for the teams involved, while it also attracts large
football crowds all across Europe.

It's been a long hard summer for Rafa.
In
Glen Johnson
Already proven himself to be a very effective attacking force and offers more than the steady
but unspectacular Alvaro Arbeloa. Seemed pricey when initially purchased but seems like a very good
transfer even after such a short spell, hopefully will get better and better.

We got the three points here. It wasn't a pretty three points but, at this point in time, I'll
take them.
First, the video of our goal, set up beautifully by Nemeth.
Some good aspects to mention about our play today, but overall, it was not an impressive
victory.
Our defence today was not the greatest, and Majstorovic and Juanfran in particular were quite
poor.

New Liverpool defender Sotirios Kyrgiakos says he has title-winning experience to boost the Anfield
club's already flagging Premier League challenge.
The 30-year-old, signed last week from AEK Athens for £2m, has won titles with Rangers and
Panathinaikos and could make his Liverpool debut at Bolton tomorrow.

Christian Purslow, the managing director of Liverpool, has defended the club's spending in this
summer's transfer market.
Purslow denied that Rafael BenÃtez, the Liverpool manager, has been starved of funds and insisted
that net outlay is in keeping with previous years. Liverpool have made two significant signings
since June with Alberto Aquilani, the Italy midfield player, and Glen Johnson, the England full
back, moving to Anfield for a combined sum of about £36 million.

AEK have been drawn in group I for the Europa League Group Stage along with Benfica, Everton,
and BATE. Not a bad group I must say. We could have gotten a much more difficult but I believe we
have a pretty good chance of advancing to the next round.
Benfica should be a tough opponent but they have not been at their best in recent years.

with video highlights.

After strong showings in the first leg of the playoff round, both Lyon and Arsenal are in a
comfortable position to enter the group stage. Lyon can claim a tenth consecutive group-stage
appearance unless they completely fall apart. The French club overwhelmed RSC Anderlecht 5-1 last
week, while a 2-0 deficit would appear insurmountable for Celtic FC as they travel to London to
take on Arsenal.

Atletico Madrid will seek to take a temporary, yet lucrative step, out of the huge shadow cast by
neighbours Real on Tuesday by completing a qualifying round win over Greek side Panathinaikos to
