Champions League Leg 1 Results



Results

Chelsea 1 (1) - 0 (0) SL Benfica

Real Madrid 3 (3) - 0 (0) Apoel Nicosia

Bayern Munich 2 (2) - 0 (0) Marseille

Barcelona 0 (0) - 0 (0) AC Milan



 We saw results over Tuesday and Wednesday which most foresaw happening.  Barcelona were the surprisers of leg 1, suffering a tie at the San Siro. Coming from a third party view, as my squad Manchester United failed to reach the knockout stages, it was nice sitting back and watching football purely to see good football.  Too many times fans miss seeing and appreciating the talent in which European football holds.  Being an American, our domestic leagues are many levels below the standard of Europe, which deprives us of seeing Champions League style play on the regulare.  The wish and goal of mine is to one day see clubs such as the New England Revolution and LA Galaxy go toe-to-toe with first team squads of the EPL and other such leagues abroad is still years away.  However, I for now, can happily settle on seeing my childhood heroes battle for the most convented title of domestic level football on TV from across the pond.

Coach: Jürgen Klinsmann (Action Shot Of Him Editing) The Roster The names that took you, and me, a second glance to realize were absence are less than expected. Although I had been a big fan of Matt Besler, a name seeming to replace him is logically traced to the name Ream. Tim Ream, a central defender, is coming off another great season for Bolton Wanderers. This season he repeated as the club's Player of The Year. Having started all 43 matches, this stat has caught the eye of Klinsmann.  Morris - 20 yrs old - Stanford - 5 (1) The one name I believe we all would have liked to see was Jordan Morris.  The forward entering his senior season at...
