Champions League Roundup


In what is probably the biggest aggregate win recorded in the Champions League, Bayern Munich have thumped Sporting left, right and centre with a 12-1 win. No, you are not seeing things, this is a soccer score and not hockey or some other ball game. Goals from Podolski(2), Sweinsteiger, Bommel, Klose and Muller and an own gold by Polga gave them the record win with a consolation for Sporting by Moutinho to bring the score to 7-1.
Elsewhere, Liverpool stamped their mark on Real Madrid by knocking them out with a 4-0 win with goals from Torres, Gerrard(2) and Dossena.
Chelsea progressed despite drawing 2 all with Juventus as a result of their first leg win. Goals came from Iaquinta and Piero. Drogba and Essien scored for Chelsea. Chelsea have again maintained Hiddink's perfect record so far by winning again and the inclusion of Essien from the long layoff showed how much they missed him though im sure if United were to play Chelsea, it would be a different ball game altogether.
Panathinaikos couldnt do enough to hold off Villareal where goals by Ibagaza and Llorente won it for them even though Mantzios had equalised earlier. I wish Pananthinaikos well in Greece and look forward to seeing them improve and hit back with a venegeance.
