Best of the 1st Round Champions League Matches

Bayern Munich vs Sporting Lisbon

Five goal rout with Frank Ribery's talent in full display. One sided but loads of entertainment especially if you are/were a Bayern Munich Fan

Manchester United vs Inter Milan

Completely contrasting to the Bayern Sporting match in terms of the number of goals scored but equally entertaining. Seeing Mourniho's face all stretched within the first ten minutes of the match was absoultely priceless. Manchester United have come a long way from their previous visit to San Siro

Athletico Madrid vs FC Porto

A see saw match ending in a 2-2 draw where Porto would consider themselves unlucky not to finish off the tie.

Ribery magic as Bayern rips through Sporting Lisbon

Frank Ribery ensured that the return leg for Bayern Munich is a mere formality as they stomped Sporting 5 to nothing. Ribery opened the account through a fine strike and then turned playmaker setting up goals for Italian striker Toni.

Klinsmann must surely be wondering as to what stops Bayern from reproducing this cracking form in the Bundesliga.

Chelsea take out Juventus confirming the gulf that exists between English and Italian clubs

With the problems that Chelsea have been facing off late one would have expected the Turin side to probably walk away with even honours if not even nick an away goal. That was not to be as a first half Dider Drogba strike saw Chelsea through. In fact Chelsea would probably be disappointed they did not win with a bigger margin.

With all the hype created I'd say all the English clubs topped their Italian oppostions. So much for that debate!

Benayoun header gives Liverpool that all important away goal

In what was quite a tactical affair which necessarily did not make for pretty viewing, Liverpool came trumps with a late Banyoun header that gave them the win and more importantly that away goal that is so important in this format. Both teams started off slow and neither created real chances with Robben being the only real threat to Liverpool. They meet again in a fortnight's time.

Liverpool to go through courtesy a draw at Anfield I'd say.
