Yeah, Ballack made it for Chelsea. It's not that I love Chelsea, but I am happy for Ballack as he has been attacked by british press so often in the past.
We're not in this alone.

So close... :(

You shouldn't blame the defeat on a player, and I never do that, but this time I've got to. Helton is the one to blame... I'm sorry, he's a great goalkeeper, he saved our asses many times, but that goal was ridiculous and Porto was handling the game better than expected and after that goal it became pretty obvious that sooner or later the team would concede another. The defense never worked well after that Robben goal and after 2-1, no Porto player believed they could put the game to a draw. Good luck for Mourinho now.

---
I'm surprised for Roma, I would never expected that. Every year you expect this is going to be the Lyon year, but it never is...

Barcelona... Not surprised for them not having qualified.

As for Valencia... Well, Inter is doing such a great domestic league run, that I believed they would eventually win the game, but, although I didn't see the game, I guess Valencia handled the score well, and a 2-2 away is always good when you play at home in the 2nd leg.

For today:
Milan - Celtic (0-0)
Arsenal - PSV (0-1)
Man Utd - Lille (1-0)
Bayern - Real Madrid (2-3)

Milan, PSV, Man Utd and Bayern go ahead. Although I believe today's results are harder to guess than yesterday's...

Hmm some interesting games coming up tonight.
Celtic held Milan to a draw at home and could be the surprise of the night, but only if they can keep the italians quiet.
Arsenal can beat anyone at the Emirates, expect them to come out to play tonight.
Bayern should be able to keep it a close game but have they got enough to win it at home?
Man Utd should win it at home even without the big names that are missing.

I would like to see Celtic qualify along with Arsenal, Bayern & my beloved Utd. But I think it will be Arsenal, Utd, Real & Milan that go through.
We spit on those who choose to pose... we'll thrash with all the rest

I watched Valencia-Inter. I really dislike David Villa after this, he threw himself to the ground as soon as someone touched him. Shame, Inter is the better team out of those.
