23rd November 2010
The first set of matches Ended with such excitement and the excitements started all the way in Group E When Roma made a stunning recovery to defeat the Mighty Bayern team with 2 goals in 9 minutes to turn it around to put them within a point of the last 16.The other match were between Cluj And Basel with Basel taking home the three points to keep them in the hunt while it was Bye bye for Cluj.
In Group F,All the qualifiers have already been settled with Marseille and Chelsea going through.Marseille produce a sizzling performance to run out 3:0 winners against Spartak Moscow to take revenge from their 1:0 lost to them in the reverse fixture while Chelsea ran out 2-1 winners at home to MSK Zilina as second-half goals from Daniel Sturridge and Florent Malouda spared their blushes.Chelsea trailed to Babatounde Bello's shock 19th-minute opener for the Group F minnows, but Sturridge levelled six minutes after the break.Malouda then grabbed a vital winner for the English champions when he slotted home at the far post four minutes from time.Probably just giving the Underdogs some Determination?
Spanish Giants proved why they are one of the best clubs in the world as they still trashed Ajax 4:0 as they finished the game with only 9 men to End's Ajax Chances.Ronaldo getting on the score sheet twice to cap his importance to the club.Ac Milan were not assured of a spot before the game but after Real Madrid trashing Ajax plus a win for themselves.Group G also look to have confirmed their Last 16 entries.
In Group H,Arsenal suffered a shock Champions League 2-0 defeat to Sporting Braga at Estadio Municipal.The Gunners - beaten by rivals Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday - had been top of Group H and thrashed the Portuguese side 6-0 in their opening fixture.However, a much-changed side never hit top gear and were denied a penalty before Braga scored two late breakaway goals from Brazil striker Matheus, leaving Arsenal not yet certain of their place in the last 16.That win for Braga has just set the table wide open for second spot and their last game certainly they will be going all out in their last game.Arsene's wenger best team doesn't look to good.While Shaktar Donetsk look assured of a place unless with only an unlikely of results will sent them down to third as they defeated Win less Partizan 3:0 To put them up of the table

In Group A,Inter Milan are through to the next round thanks to a single solitary goal By Esteban Cambiasso ten minutes after the restart of Second Half.Tottenham continue their fantasic debut in the Champions league by sealing a top 16 spot with a thumping 3:0 win against Wender Bremen.This comes right after a win less drought against london rivals Arsenal...
In Group B,It was just a matter out a run out for Lyon Against Schalke Though as they already Qualified.And that what they got as Schalke took full advantage to condemned them to a 3:0 Win to get that last ticket for a last 16 spot in this group.Klass Jan Hunterlaar on the score sheet Twice.Hapoel on the other hand recorded their first win in style with a same scoreline against Benfica to get the Europa spot.
In Group C,Rooney became Hero for Utd 3 minutes before the end with a well taken penalty to send the Scottish club to 3rd while Utd go through.Valencia were the other team through with a convincing 6-1 goal battering against Bursapor.
In Group D,Chirstian Nobao gave some hope to his Russian Club Kazan as he scored the only goal to record their first win in 6 attempts against Fc Copenhagen to keep the fire burning for Qualification.While it was an easy ride for Barcelona as two goals by Pedro and a goal by Messi was enough to send Panathinaikos out of the race and sealing their spot as group D winners
Review of English teams
Another disappointing day for Arsenal as Their Inconsistency is already starting to show with a unexpected 2:0 lost to Braga to force the tie till the last match.Whereas Chelsea also had a tough day before prevailing against Zilina who are considered Underdogs of this cup with only 4 minutes lefted..In the next day was more pleasing,With Tottenham again proving their European Quality by slaying Werder Bremen to go through the next round While Man Utd also are through with a tough 1:0 win as Rooney for the first time finally got his name of the score sheet with a calmly taken Penalty.
