Finally the CL Group stage is over and the knockout rounds are upon us again.

Yesterday's Results:

Atletico Madrid vs. FC Porto - 2-2
Lyon vs. Barcelona - 1-1
Arsenal vs. Roma - 1-0
Inter vs. Man U. - 0-0

I watched the Porto/Atletico game and it was great, but to be fair, Porto really should have won, I cant tell you how many chances Lisandro Lopez wasted.

Anyways, no one cares about any of those chumps when the real men are playing today:

Today's Fixtures:

Chelsea vs. Juventus - Probably the only time I'll ever cheer on Juve, but now is the time to watch Chelsea get screwed in the CL after they've flushed their Premiership hopes.

Villareal vs. Panathinaikos - I would imagine that Villa are huge favourites in this one, I fully expect a victory out of them here.

Sporting Lisbon vs. Bayern Munich - This is going to depend on which Bayern shows up to play, they've been struggling of late so Sporting might be able to take advantage.

And now, for the HUGE match:

Liverpool vs. Real Madrid - As much as it pains me to say it, you have to give Real the advantage here. Sneijder and Robben are healthy again and they just came off a 6-1 demolition of Real Betis, Real are flying high.

Liverpool meanwhile may not have Gerrard, its still questionable, but hopefully they will play their hearts out and take it to Real.

COME ON YOU REDS!
