Yesterday there were the games of the 6th round of the group stages of the champions league. There were 8 matches in total (not counting the ones that took place on dec. 7th). I decided that I would watch a bit of every match, but instead I got caught up watching the chelsea game hoping that they would score any minute now) most of the time, and ended up flipping back to the other games when someone scored.
So why have I posted this under the title "the fucking disgrace edition"? Because the result of the chelsea game was a massive fucking disgrace! (well so was the result of the Ac milan vs. Ajax game but I didn't watch that game so I'm in no postion to pass judgement).
Now it may seem as if I'm overreacting because even though chelsea lost against marseille (1-0), they still went through to the knockout stages, so some people might say that their loss wasn't a big deal. Well it was a big deal. If I had access to the players I would be yelling at them until their heads explode or something just as gruesome. What a horrible game. Aside from a few good missed opportunities, they did absolutely nothing. They couldn't attack properly, they couldn't even get close enough to the freaking penalty square to attempt anything, and their defence was sketchy. The only good thing about the game was the fact that Josh McEachran was in the starting line up and he handled himself brilliantly. Everyone else, in my opinion, gave a very disappointing performance. Oh and Drogba dear, being emotionally unstable because you're playing against your former club is not an excuse.
In other news:
Bayern Munich won against Basel (3-0), with 2 goals scored by Franck Ribery and 1 by Anatoliy Tymoshchuk.
The Roma vs. CFR Cluj game ended in a draw (1-1). Marco Boriello scored for Roma in the first half, and Lacina Traore equalized later on.
Spartak Moskva won in their match against Zilina (2-1) leaving Zilina with no points whatsoever from the beginning of the competition. Ibson (who then got a red card and was sent off) and Alex scored for Spartak Moskva, while Tomas Majtan scored for Zilina.
Real Madrid sailed through with a 4-0 win over Auxerre. Karim Benzema scored his 1st hat trick in almost 3 years while the other goal was thanks to non other than Mr. Cristiano Ronaldo himself.
Arsenal also had a good game, and from the bits & pieces of it that I actually watched I came to the conclusion that it was an interesting game. The result was a 3-1 win for Arsenal. The goals for Arsenal were courtesy of Robin Van Persie, Theo Walcott & Samir Nasri respectively, while Cleo scored Partizan's only goal.
Shakhtar Donetsk won against Braga (2-0), Rat & Luiz Adrian scored the 2 goals for shakhtar.
And finally the other team that also suffered an unexpected loss was AC Milan, who lost against Ajax. The 2 goal scorers for Ajax were Toby Alderweireld and Demy de Zeeuw. Just for the record Toby Alderweireld's goal was amazing! I think it was the highlight of all 8 matches.
So in conclusion here are the teams that made it to the knockout stages:
Group A:-Tottenham (England)
-Inter Milan (Italy)
Group B:-FC Schalke (Germany)
-Lyon (France)
Group C:-Manchester United (England)
-Valencia FC (Spain)
Group D:-Barcelona (Spain)
-FC Kobenhavn (Denmark)
Group E:-Bayern Munich (Germany)
-AS Roma (Italy)
Group F:-Chelsea (England)
-Marseille (France)
Group G:-Real Madrid (Spain)
