Ajax leads 1:0

Things are about to get wild

Liverpool FC - Deportivo 0-0

Ajax - M. Tel-Aviv 3-0

Juventus plays a rather tedious style of football, yet they still manage to secure the win; honestly, for Manchester United, it’s business as usual.

What actually matters is that Rom is absolutely steamrolling everyone in their path! 😬

Neither Juventus nor Bayern Munich showed much in terms of actual football. Juventus isn't exactly shining right now, and Bayern is a long way from their glory days too. But you have to admit, the intensity and fighting spirit are top-tier. Milan-Barcelona should be a much better matchup, especially if we see an early goal.

s3v3n said:How is this even interesting if AC Milan is just going to blow them out by 3 or 4 goals like they always do?

Why? Didn't their last match at San Siro end in a 3:3 draw? And that was when they were playing just as poorly as usual.

I put my money on the double chance... We'll see who's laughing later.

RSC Anderlecht 1-2 Werder Bremen - featuring two goals from Ivica Klasnić 🙂 🙂Valencia CF 1-5 Inter Milan 😲 😲
Chelsea FC 2-0 CSKA Moscow
PSG 2-0 Porto

Uhh, FC Barcelona certainly threw some serious threats our way—they can be pretty dangerous when they get going—but in the end, everything worked out just fine👍.
Plus, Ivica Klasnić managed to find the back of the net twice👍.
It was a lovely evening overall.

Five different guys scoring? Who on earth pulls that off...😎

From what I know, both are sidelined with injuries and didn't play. The goals came from Dejan Stanković, Christian Vieri, Meyde, Adriano, and Diego Milito.

I mean, they went out there last year and absolutely dismantled Arsenal FC 3:0 on the road, only to collapse and lose 1:5 at home... as if they’re actually going to win ANYTHING this season...

Maybe Andriy Shevchenko will deliver this Sunday. It might just crush their morale.😁

Not happening. The bettors—and honestly, me too—are actually putting their money on Inter Milan this time.

I just caught the goal scored by PSG's Coridon 😲 😲 😲.

That moment when the ball dropped and he just flicked it—it looked pretty smooth to me.

HERE IS THE GOAL

Inter might manage a 2-0 lead, but then I suspect Andriy Shevchenko will swoop in with a hat-trick. 😁 It would probably be better if the odds on Inter were lower... more profit for the bookies. Is AC Milan playing at home?

Me? I don't. 😁

Barcelona really impressed me despite the loss. They’re playing such beautiful football 🙏
