UEFA Champions League Results
UEFA Champions League was full of surprises for most of the groups. A lot of us were expecting different results that the ones that we bet on yesterday. What went wrong?
It seems that Liverpool’s season is looking much worse than they think. Liverpool were incomplete without their Spanish striker Torres, an early exist of the captain Gerrard made things even worst for them both morally and tactically. Although Benitez has tried many times to show the two American owners that the Reds need more strength in their lines. Liverpool has lost also in two premier league games and they face Manchester United over the weekend. Liverpool should be worried about their status as they have been inconsistent for some time now. As for the French team Lyon, they looked very determined to fight for the 3 points and want to pass to the second round of the UEFA games.
As for the rest of Group E, the Italian Fiorentina versus the Hungarian champions Debreceni had a very intense game that ended in favor or Fiorentina 4-3. Therefore, there is a lot of things to watch out of in this group.
The results were as follows Group E:
Debrecen 3 – 4 Fiorentina
Liverpool 1 – 2 Lyon
What was more surprising in our bets online last night, watching Barcelona FC lose against Rubin Kazan? The Catalans were not in their best form last night, as they lack the French star Thierry Henry in their line ups. But that should not be an excuse for the UEFA 2009 Champions, as they had the entire team on the field at Camp Nou. Valdes has performed very poorly, and the Ballon d’Or nominee Messi as well. Well not much can be said other than the thrilling fighting spirit that we witnessed by Rubin Kazan.
Despite the great performance by Inter Milan over the weekend in Serie A, the performance of Inter against Dynamo Kiev was not so impressing. It is a tough time ahead for Inter as they have not won a match for the last seven consecutive matches.
Tough times are ahead for Group F, no conclusions can be made
The results were as follows Group F:
Barcelona 1 – 2 Rubin Kazan
Inter Milan 2 – 2 Dynamo Kyiv
As for Group G, Sevilla has performed very solidly for the last games in both La Liga and UEFA Champions League. The dominated the match agaist Stuttgart very well.

The results were as follows for Group G:
Rangers 1 – 4 Unirea Urziceni
Stuttgart 1 – 3 Sevilla
