UEFA Champions League Round up

The Union of European Football
Associations (UEFA) Champions League in
the last week saw some huge upsets, and some
proving their champions league experience once
again. It was the first leg stage of the Round of
16 and it was exciting.

Barcelona went head—to-head with
Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium, and
Suarez brought home victory with two away
goals. It wasn’t a good night for Manchester City
but it could have been much worse. City went
down two goals in the first half, with both of
them coming from the feet of Luiz Suarez. But
in the second half, Sergio Aguero raised hopes
with a performance of raised tempo and energy,

 

and a little cameo at the end where Lionel Messi
was denied from the spot kick by Joe Hart, but
they couldn’t overcome the mountain that was
Barcelona. It ended Barcelona-2 Manchester
City-1.

Borussia Dortmund and Iuventus clashed
horns and it proved nothing like their 1997
Champions League final’s clash. Dortmund got
a masterclass in passing and possession from
Italian player of the year, Andrea Pirlo, and
Paul Pogba, who dictated every move and play
of Iuventus. Sloppy defending by Dortmund
left them a goal behind early on with Tevez
getting on the score sheet in the 13th minute,
although Reus stepped up and was able to
equalize quickly, but Iuventus’ constant attack
was enough to ensure that they find a hole in
Borussia’s defense. Morata scored a wonderful

tap-in at the 43rd minute and Iuventus went a
goal ahead leaving Borussia Dortmund trailing
in the game which ended Borussia Dortmund-1
Iuventus-Z.

Arsenal went head on with Monaco, unable
to break their curse of the Round of 16, once
again not being able to live up to the big stage
of Champion’s league football. The underdogs
Monaco left Arsenal licking their wounds with a
stunning counter-attacking football proving that
Arsenal didn’t come prepared to see Monaco
getting up to the score line. Kondogbia and
Dimitar Berbatov took Monaco two goals up
when the fresh legs of Oxlade-Chamberlain
gave a glimpse of hope to Arsenal with a curving
shot to the top corner of the net from outside
the box, but the same man lost possession in
the very next minute giving way to Yannick

Farreira-Carrasco to bring Monaco’s lead back

The biggest upset of the week was when
Atletico Madrid went up against Bundesliga’s
Leverkusen. The game was deemed to be
interesting when Torres’ goal was ruled out
by the assistant referees early on in the game,
but Leverkusen came out as a bigger team
with Hakan Calhanoglu scoring a rocket past
Moya, towards the near post 12 minutes into
the second half. Atletico, last year’s finalist, was
not able to capitalize afterwards as their central
midfielder Tiago was sent off for his second
yellow of the night, and with a man down and
Leverkusen’s constant attack, Atletico had to
settle on their back foot with the game finishing
Leverkusen—1 Atletico Madrid—0.
