Yeah there were a lot of goals but it was still never alive because Sevilla were never in front. It was surprisingly boring for a match that ended 4-3.

I'm glad I'm watching Sampdoria-Werder Bremen then. Werder Bremen have made it 3-2 (to Sampdoria) now! Sampdoria must regret taking Cassano off - to a standing ovation - at 3-0 near the end :neulol:

Werder Bremen held on for a 5-4 aggregate win in the end. A game of two halves - Sampdoria did really well in the first half but Werder dominated the second. Sampdoria started wasting time when they were 3-0 up, rolling around on the floor etc. Cassano got "injured" and was taken off five minutes before the end with a big smile on his face - before Werder hit back :facepalm: A shame because I wanted to see a new Italian team in the Group Stage! :lol:

Just managed to catch the Anderlecht-Partizan Belgrade penalties. Partizan win it 3-2! The penalty spot was absolutely terrible - Anderlecht ruined it for themselves :neulol:

Hapoel Tel-Aviv, Basel, Partizan Belgrade, Braga and Werder Bremen advance to the Group Stage then. Copenhagen-Rosenborg and Tottenham-Young Boys tomorrow :neuwine:

I'll be in London still, yes. I'll definitely go if I have the money and tickets are available! :eek: Watching the Champions League final would be an absolute dream - even more so if Chelsea are there.

I can't sit, I can't stand, I hate these days. The second legs of UCL quals where Rosenborg are involved. It was fair when we had a 3-0 advantage from the first leg in 2007, even after an away game, but this... 2-1 At home is a dangerous lead, especially against FCK who hardly lets in goals at home. I smell 1-0 :(

Hopefully it will be the same score like in 2008 - 1-1!

I don't know who Zilina are, but apparently they are in the Champions League. Defeating the big brothers from Czech Republic!

Play-off round second leg results

Ajax 2-1 Dynamo Kiev (agg 3-2)
Auxerre 2-0 Zenit St Petersburg (agg 2-1)
FC Copenhagen 1-0 Rosenborg (agg 2-2) (FC Copenhagen win on away goals rule)
MSK Zilina 1-0 Sparta Prague (agg 3-0)
Tottenham 4-0 Young Boys (agg 6-3)

Anderlecht 2-2 Partizan Belgrade (agg 4-4) (Partizan Belgrade win 3-2 after penalties)
FC Sheriff Tiraspol 0-3 Basel (agg 0-4)
Hapoel Tel-Aviv 1-1 Red Bull Salzburg (agg 4-3)
Sampdoria 3-2 Werder Bremen (agg 4-5)
Sevilla 3-4 Braga (agg 3-5)


A shame Rosenborg lost out in the end. Copenhagen dominated throughout but Strand hit the post in the final minutes :facepalm: Cool to see Auxerre, Zilina and a new English team - Tottenham, in the group stage.


Group Stage draw - the seedings

The Champions League group stage is finally here with the draw tomorrow :eek:

Here are the official seedings:

Pot 1

Barcelona
Manchester United
Chelsea
Arsenal
Bayern Munich
AC Milan

Roma
Shakhtar Donestk

Who do you want for your club then? I kind of want Real Madrid so I can see them at the Bridge :neulol: , but if I want an "easy" group then I'm looking at Panathinaikos, Basel and maybe Cluj. Chelsea, Marseille and Rangers together would be good for The Complex :neuwine:

The draw is at 5pm BST (6pm CET) tomorrow.

Damn, I'm gutted Zenit didn't get through. Good to see a new English team though, much better than the same old boring four.

Defoe's goal was clearly a handball. Crouch with a hat-trick in that game aswell. Spurs dominated the game..

Real Madrid in pot 2 with Shaktar Donestk? :| Obviously you want to avoid Madrid but I wouldn't mind them playing Man Utd, being in Madrid and all. :eek:

Indeed NZ, it beats seeing Liverpool in the Champions League again!

Moore - yes, it was definitely a handball (well, it hit his arm). He didn't try to hide it though - he stood waiting for the linesman to disallow the goal but he didn't, so then he celebrated :lol: Tottenham were always going to win at home and it was obvious as soon as Crouch scored early on.

I guess Real Madrid are in Pot 2 because they have done so poorly in the Champions League in recent years, Hugh. Shakhtar won the UEFA Cup in 2009 so I guess that gave them a load of coefficient points :lol: You'd want to avoid Real Madrid indeed, ideally, but they would be cool to see at the Bridge (especially with Mourinho there) :neushades:

Dangerous sides lurk in each pot so the draw will be an interesting one :eek:

They're televising the draw here in NZ. Don't think they've done that before. I won't catch it live (3am I think) but they're replaying it later tomorrow so I'll watch that. I've never seen a draw before. Are they interesting?

Well I always watch the draw live because of the suspense and all, but one thing to remember if you're watching it for the first time - it won't actually start at the time they say as they spend AGES talking about how it's all done and UEFA stuff! :|

Definitely not getting up at 3 then :|coffee

There won't really be any suspense for me anyway because I don't have a team I support in the Champions League. I like to see Russian teams do well but I'm not too bothered about who they get in their group.
