Champions League returns today with two matches:

 

Bayer Leverkusen vs.Barcelona (2:45 PM ET)

Lyon vs. Apoel Nicosia (2:45 PM ET)

 

Should be interesting to see how Barcelona plays. They just seem exhausted, especially after that 3-2 loss over the weekend to Osasuna.

- Chelsea continues its struggles and falls to Napoli 3-1.

- Real Madrid draws CSKA Moskva 1-1.

 

Really cannot see Chelsea coming back from that deficit. With that said, it looks like there will not be any English teams in the Final 8 this year.

 

Tomorrow's games:

- Marseille vs. Inter Milan at 2:45 (FOX Soccer)

- FC Basel vs. Bayern at 2:45 (FOX Soccer Plus)

Pretty bad day for the top two English teams in the Europa League.

 

Manchester City lost to Sporting 1-0.

 

Manchester United fell to Athletic Bilbao 3-2. Only managed to catch the ending of this one, but what a great game it was. Could've been 3-1 if not for a handball on the edge of the box in stoppage time. Sure looks like Atheltic Bilbao will be going through to the quarterfinals now.

Great game between Chelsea and Napoli going on right now. About to start the second half of extra time with Chelsea up 5-4 on aggregate thanks to Branislav Ivanović's goal in the last minute of the first half.

Yeah, he had two pretty good opportunities late in the game. One being the header that just barely went over the goal and the other when the ball took a high bounce and went over the goalie. Granted it was a tough angle for him on that second attempt, it would've been a sweet goal.

 

That turn and pass by Drogba that led to the goal by Ivanović' sweet though. While I'm not a Chelsea fan by any means, I found myself really rooting for them throughout the whole match. I guess it's because they're the only team left from the EPL. :(

It was a tough angle, but the old Torres would have got that easily. Still though, I was rooting for them too and had no idea why lol, prolly cuz of Torres.

 

And yeah, that first touch by Drogba was classy as F. I lol'd when he dived and they showed him on the ground and he was looking up to see if the ref had called it, then started grimacing. Smart to kill time, but such a snake move.
