Liverpool vs Chelsea Champions League: Live Score and Update

Champions League 2007-08 is now in the last four and later this week we will have the first leg of two semi final matches. In the first leg of first semi final, Liverpool is going to play against Chelsea. This is a home game for Liverpool and this is a must win match for Liverpool. On the other hand, this is a very important match for Chelsea too. Chelsea should try to get a draw out of this match so that in the second leg they can have better condition.


The match is very important because Liverpool has no hope of winning any title this season. On the other hand, Chelsea fans have everything to look for. For Chelsea fans there is yet hope for English Premier League and UEFA Champions League. So, there is hope for achieving double in this season for Chelsea. Of course, in premier league Chelsea is three points behind the leader Manchester United. There are not a lot of matches in the premier league. In fact, it will be very tough for Chelsea to close up this gap. So, Chelsea fans are now more thinking of Champions League than premier league.

Belfast Telegraph wrote:

So, it's the Champions League or bust and here Chelsea face their European nemesis.

On each of the two previous occasions they've met at the semi-final stage logic pointed to success for the Londoners.

Their domestic record, as this season, had been far superior to Liverpool's. Only a 'hunch' would have predicted their undoing.

The same thing goes for Liverpool. Liverpool fans are perhaps happy that at least they do not have to worry about English premier league and they are focusing on winning the UEFA Champions League. Today, Liverpool showed an impressive form against Fulham and won the match 2-0 at Fulham. This should give a lot of courage to Liverpool players as they could win the match away. You know that Liverpool players their home match at Anfield and Anfield is a very tough place for any visitor team.

BBC wrote:

Pennant gave the Reds the lead against the run of play when he was put through by Lucas Leiva and he took Kasey Keller by surprise with a powerful early shot.

He then turned provider to set up Crouch to score with a low drive.

Fulham were restricted to mostly half chances, with midfielder Danny Murphy going closest with a shot denied by Pepe Reina's legs.

In the quarter final of Champions League, Liverpool put up a spirited fight against Arsenal and won the quarter final against Arsenal convincingly. It should be noted here htat Arsenal is in the third position in English premier league and still five points ahead of Liverpool. So, it was a emphatic win for Liverpool as they could defeat their premiership rival Arsenal who is ahead of them. In the first leg of quarter final, Liverpool struggled too at the Emirates Stadium and drew the match 1-1. Then, in the second leg, Liverpool played at Anfield and defeated Arsenal by 4-2. Well, in the first half of the second match, Arsenal played some batter than Liverpool, it was in the second half that Liverpool stole the show and won the match. Of course, many Arsenal fans felt that Liverpool was lucky in the both legs. For example, in the first leg, Arsenal was deprived of a penalty that they should have got.

On the other hand, in the second leg, Liverpool got a penalty which they should not have got. So, Liverpool will have to play some better against Chelsea this time. As for Chelsea, quarter final was a tough team. In the first leg, Chelsea suffered an unexpected defeat against Fenerbahce. Chelsea lost the match by 2-1 and it was an away match for them. Then in the second leg, Chelsea played much better and they defeated Fenerbache by 2-0.

I think that there is a bad news for Liverpool. Their best player Steven Gerrard is doubtful for the first leg of the semi final. He suffered a knee injury in the match against Fulham in EPL today. It is not sure if he will be fit by Tuesday. That is a very big blow for Liverpool if Steven Gerrard can not play in the first leg. Liverpool played some good football this season and a lot of credit goes to Steven Gerrard. He is the main playmaker for the club and he is a very influential midfielder. He is also a very good player for England national team. So, there is no doubt that Liverpool will miss Steven Gerrard in the match if he can not be fit by Tuesday. Except Gerrard, the player that Liverpool will depend a lot is the Spanish striker Fernando Torres. Fernando Torres is playing superbly in this season and he has scored a lot of goals for Liverpool. In fact, in this season Fernando Torres has scored 22 goals for Liverpool and in Europe he has scored five goals. So, he is a vital player for the club in this season and in this match he has to play very well if Liverpool has to win.

BBC wrote:

The 27-year-old sat out his side's 2-0 win away at Fulham with a neck injury and Benitez is unsure if he will be fit in time to face the Blues at Anfield.

"We don't know at the moment," he said. "Steven is working with the physios.

"He is improving but it is still too soon. You always have to be careful with the neck."

You know that Chelsea is full of star players and Chelsea has perhaps the richest pool of players in English premier league in the last few seasons. At first, many people thought money can not buy success, but Chelsea perhaps proved it wrong. Chelsea owner spent a lot of money and he has seen some success. Well, Chelsea has a lot of star players but they may have some injury worries too. Frank Lampard is the key player for them and Chelsea will depend a lot on him.

I think that more than the players, it will be the match of two coaches. Both of the coaches are under a lot of pressure to perform. Let us talk about the home team coach Rafael Benitez. Rafael Benitez wants to stay at Liverpool but, there is a lot of pressure on Liverpool management to bring a new coach. In fact, if Liverpool gets out of Champions league this season then it will be a disaster for the club and the fans will become very annoyed with the coach. You know that in world football there is no alterative to perform and Rafael Benitez has failed to perform totally this season.

BBC wrote:

Benitez's position has been thrown into doubt over revelations the American duo and chief executive Rick Parry held talks with Jurgen Klinsmann last year.

But on Friday the 48-year-old Spaniard reiterated his determination to honour his contract, which runs until 2010.

"I'm really pleased and happy here and want to stay," he said.

Of course, you might think that Liverpool fans are asking too much from him. If you look at the other clubs of English premier league, you may think that Arsenal could not win any trophy this season and Arsenal fans are quite happy with Arsene Wenger. There is no strong demand for resignation or firing of Arsene Wenger from Arsenal fans. So, I think that Rafael Benitez should also be given some more time. Well, many people are not too much happy with him.

The same perhaps goes to Chelsea coach Avram Grant. I have already told that Chelsea has perhaps the richest team in English premier league in the last few seasons. So, the owner and the fans of Chelsea now expect only success in home and in Europe, Now, there is double chances for Chelsea to win both English premier league and Champions league. At the same time they can lose both. So, there is a lot of pressure on Avram Grant to show success for Chelsea. Many Chelsea fans feel that Avram Grant may not be the right person for the club and they want a better person.

BBC wrote:

  • Grant's position has been under constant scrutiny this season, and many fans are unhappy with his team's performances in recent weeks.
  • Chelsea are also still in the hunt for the Champions League with a semi-final double-header against Premier League rivals Liverpool on the horizon.

So, you see that this a very important match for both the club and for both of the coaches. Whoever wins will be happy and winning the semi final will mean one step going towards becoming the champions in Champions League. Now, I am giving some live score websites here.

Champions League 2007-08: Draw of Quarter Final

The draw of the quarter final round of Champions League 2007-2008 was held today at 13:00 CET in Nyon, Switzerland. The eight quarter finalists have drawn their competitors in this stage. The eight quarter finalists are Arsenal, Liverpool, Roma, Manchester United, Chelsea, Schalke 04, Barcelona and Fenerbahce. The most highlight draw was Arsenal vs Liverpool match, which would be the most highlighted match of this round. Each team will face their opponent twice, once at home and away. The first leg matches will be held on 1 April and 2 April, while the second leg of the matches will be held on 8 April and 9 April. Here, I am giving the draws of quarter final round of Champions League:

Arsenal vs Liverpool

This is going to be the most highlight match of this round. The two English giants have already faced each other once in the league which was ended up with a 1-1 draw. Both Arsenal and Liverpool projected impressive performances in the first knock out round of the competition and saw off two Italian giants AC Milan and Inter Milan. AC Milan’s 2-0 victory at San Siro would definitely inspire the side in this stage. In the same way, Liverpool also put on enthralling performance in both home and away matches against Inter Milan to make their way to quarter final.

AS Roma vs Manchester United

Manchester United has been imperious so far in Champions League this season. Manchester United saw off French Champion Olympique Lyonnais 2-1 on aggregate, making their way to the quarter final. However, Ferguson boys would not find it very easy to roar past Roma for the second successive year from the quarter final. Manchester United must be aware of Roma, who defeated Real Madrid in both legs of first knockout round of the competition. Roma is now the only hope of Italy with AC Milan and Inter Milan got out of the tournament already.

Schalke 04 vs Barcelona

Barcelona will face German club Schalke 04 in the last 8 of Champions League this season. No doubt, Barcelona seems to be favorite for this match. Schalke 04 found it very hard to get the ticket of quarter final as they had to clinch the victory over Porto in penalty shoot out. Barcelona, on the other hand, was not that much impressive against Rangers in the first knockout round, though they won the matches of both legs. Schalke 04 must be at their best to stave off the Barcelona challenge in quarter final.

Fenerbahce vs Chelsea

Chelsea has drawn Turkish champion Fenerbahce in the quarter final of Champions League. So, the Blues are reportedly said to have drawn easiest opponent in the last 8 of Champions League. No doubt, Chelsea is favorite in the match. However, I do not think that Avram Grant would take Turkish side lightly considering their lack luster performance of late against comparatively week sides. First, Chelsea lost to Tottenham Hotspur in the Carling Cup final and then Chelsea was crashed out of the tournament being defeated to Championship side Barnsley. This is where, Fenerbahce could find their hope of progressing further in the tournament. Fenerbahce defeated Spanish club Sevilla in penalty shoot out to make it to the quarter final. Chelsea, on the other hand, roared past Greek club Olympiacos 3-0 on aggregate.

There are four clubs from English premier league in the quarter final round, for the first time in the history of Champions League. It is now almost certain that at least, an English club would be at the semi final in the tournament. It is though a bit hard to predict, but I think, Chelsea and Barcelona would not face much problem to get into the semi final. However, predicting about other two matches would really be very tough, but it is almost certain that all the teams would put their best to win a place in the semi final of the Champions League.

Sporting CP vs Manchester United Preview and Live Score: Champions League 2007-08

Sporting CP vs Manchester United match in Champions League 2007-2008 will be held on 19 September. This will be the first match of both Manchester United and Sporting CP (club de Portugal) in Champions league in 2007-2008 season and that is why, both teams will try to start the season with victory. The match will be organized at the Estádio José Alvalade, Lisbon, the home ground of Sporting Cp. Though it is true that the reigning English premier league champion Manchester United is favorite in the match, Portuguese club Sporting CP has the potential to throw a tough challenge for Manchester United. So, it is expected to see a hard competition in the match.

Manchester United and Sporting CP play group F where other two competitors are AS Roma and Dynamo Kyiv. So, no doubt, there will be a tough contest in Group F among the teams as most of the teams are balanced and enough to throws strong challenge to others. So, both Manchester United and Sporting CP will try their best to win the match in order to get ahead of the others.

Manchester United is now in good form. They started the season with nightmare as from the first three matches of the season Manchester United earned only 3 points. Being the defending champion, such poor performance of the red devils was painful for their supporters. However, winning the last three matches in a row, Manchester Untied has got back their rhythm. So, Sporting CP can not feel relaxed ahead of the Champions league match. Manchester United will face a strong challenge from Sporting CP as the Portuguese side will play at their home ground. So, naturally they will have some extra advantages for Sporting CP in the match.

Sporting CP is one of the well known clubs in Portugal. Last season, they finished second at the Portuguese Liga. They won 18 Portuguese championship titles yet. However, their track record in Champions League is not so satisfactory. Winning runner up title in UEFA Cup is their only notable success in European club competitions. Sporting CP participated in Champions League several times in the past.

On the other hand, Manchester United is one of the best European club and no doubt, best club in England. Manchester United claimed English Premier League title for 16 times in the past and won Champions league titles twice so far. Manchester United is the defending champion of English league. Considering the strength of both teams, Manchester United is far more ahead of Sporting CP. However, in football star seeded does not always win the match. The simple rule is that you have to perform well with some help of your fate to win the match. Winning the matches does not mean which team is best which is not. Manchester United is undoubtedly one of the strong participants of Champions League 2007-2008 seaosn. So, Manchester United will try to win the match with a big margin.

However, Sporting CP has the potential to do well against Manchester United. Sporting CP has the potential to throw a strong challenge to Manchester United. So, Manchester United should not take Sporting CP lightly. Rather they should remember their first three matches in English premier league where they could not win against the underdog teams. That is why, Sporting CP can be vital for Manchester United in their opening match in Champions League 2007-2008 season. Another important thing is that the key players of Manchester United should perform against Sporting CP. The domestic league performance of Sporting CP this season is not so satisfactory. This season they have played four matches in which they have won three and lost one and thus occupy the third place in the league table at this moment. Interestingly, Manchester United now stands in the fourth position in the English premier league table. So, the current position of both Manchester United and Sporting CP in domestic league is not impressive. So, the supporters of both teams will try to see their teams dominate over each other in order to prove their form once again in front of the world.

I do not like to make any prediction regarding the match. However, Manchester United is favorite in the match but Sporting CP will try to use the home advantage and win the match. Actually in this level, all teams are more or less in same level. So, the match is expected to very competitive. Now, football fans wish to experience hard contest between Manchester United and Sporting CP. Let us see if the players can provide with an interesting match for their fans.

Online Live Score

Sporting CP vs Manchester United match is now the main attraction to the fans of these two teams. Naturally, fans of both Sporting CP and Manchester United will try to watch the match on television screen. However, it is also true that many of you will not be able to watch the match because of personal and professional works.

Arsenal vs Sevilla Preview and Live Score: Champions League 2007-08

Arsenal will play their first match in Champions League 2007-2008 season against Spanish club Sevilla. Arsenal vs Savilla match will be held on 19 September 2007. The match is expected to be very exciting as both teams are now in their prime form. The match will take place at the Emirates Stadium, London, the home ground of Arsenal. So, Arsenal will have home ground advantage in the match.

Arsenal vs Sevilla match will be the first match for both teams in Champions league 2007-2008 season. This is the 53rd edition of champions league. The tournament has already been started and now fans are excited to see the interesting matches of the tournament. Arsenal and Sevilla are playing group H were two other participating teams are Romanian club Steaua and Slavia Prague from Czech Republic. So, do doubt, Arsenal and Sevilla are favorites in this group to progress to the round of 32. That is why, Arsenal vs Sevilla match is going to be a big match in this group.

Sevilla is playing very well in Spanish La Liga at this moment. Having won their first two matches, Sevilla is now at the second position of Spanish La Liga 2007-2008 season. Sevilla looks very strong though they do not have so many star players in their squad. The main strength of Sevilla is unity and understanding among the players in the field. They play as a team in the field and thus they have the capability to stop any star seeded side of the world.

Sevilla has some skilled players who can take away the match. Brazilian defender Daniel Alves is a qualify defender who has already proven his skill and talent for both in club and international matches. Striker Frederic Kanoute also looks dangerous. Midfielder Renato and defender Javi Navarro are now in good form. So, I think, Sevilla can throw a big challenge for Arsenal.

On the other hand, Arsenal has some big names who are regarded as one of the best players in that position in the world. No doubt, Arsenal will have much more advantage in the match and in terms of strength Arsenal is favorite in the match. After playing five matches, they are now at the top in English premiership league table with 13 points. So, Arsenal is now in good form. They will try to continue their current form in the coming match as well.

Arsenal has a strong midfield. They have some skilled midfielders in the squad including Spanish midfielder Cesc Fabregas, Czech Republican Tomas Rosicky, Brazilian Gilberto Silva and Denilson. So, Arsenal’s main strength is midfield. Arsenal now needs to have a good striker who can fill up the place of Thierry Henry who has joined Barcelona just before this season. However, still they have some quality strikers. Emmanuel Adebayor, Nicklas Bendtner, Robin van Persie, Eduardo da Silva and young striker Theo Walcott have the potential to perform well. Arsenal defense is also very strong as they have some world class defenders like William Gallas, Bacary Sagna, Kolo Toure and Gaël Clichy. So, no doubt, Arsenal has some star players who are widely known for their skill and talent.

Arsenal is, for sure, one of the big teams in English Premier League. They have a good track record in English league. Arsenal won English premier league for 13 times in the history. However, they could not yet win any Champions league title. Their best performance in Champions league was in 2005-2006 season where they became runner up. Arsenal could not even impress with their performance last season in Champions league. So, this time they will definitely try to come up with some impressive performance to win the title of Champions league for the first time. The way Arsenal is playing at this moment, it seems that they are in the right track to claim their first champions league title in this season.

On the other hand, Sevilla does not have so many successes in their domestic league. However, they are always strong team in Spanish La Liga. Last season they got the third place in Spanish La Liga. However, they do not have any notable record in champions league. They could not even reach at the final of any tournament yet in champions league. However, they have impressive record in UEFA Cup. They are the champion of UEFA cup for the last two seasons. So, you can realize that Sevilla is strong enough to claim something special from Champions League 2007-2008.

The match between Arsenal and Sevilla is now expected to be very competitive as both teams are determined to do well in this tournament. So, both the teams will try to start their Champions League 2007-2008 campaign with success. Actually as a big match, both teams will try to win the first leg so that they can easily win the next one. As Arsenal will play in their home ground, Sevilla will try to walk with at least a draw so that they will have advantage in the second leg match at their home ground. On the other hand, Arsenal will try to win the match with a big margin so that even a lost in the second leg can not be a problem.

It is always very hard to predict regarding the result of a big match. I think, both the teams have their own tactics and styles and it will be nice to see how they expose against a team with different tactics. So, I am not going to make any prediction over the match as it will be meaningless. However, as I mentioned earlier that Arsenal will have home ground advantage in the match. It is also true that being the host can be a problem for them because they will have huge expectation to perform in front of their own fans. So, Arsenal players will have some pressure to perform well in the match and provide with some impressive performance to win the match against Sevilla.

I think, the match will be very competitive and special for the fans of both teams. So, all fans of these two teams will try to watch this match and enjoy the every bit of it. I hope to see an excellent match with impressive performances from the players of both teams. I think, you also hope the same. Now, let us see if Arsenal and Sevilla players can live up to the expectation.

UEFA Champions League 2007-08: Group H Preview

Arsenal

Sevilla/AEK Athens
Steau Bucharest
Slavia Prague

This is the only group where at this moment five teams are involved. As the second leg match between Sevilla and AEK Athens in UEFA Champions league third qualify round has been postponed, both teams initially have been included in the group.

Arsenal is the top seeded team in this group. Arsenal is a popular English club who has won Premier League for 13 times. However, in Champions league their best result was in 2005-2006 where they achieved the runner up trophy.

Sevilla is a Spanish club who are now in good form. Though they could not won Champions league title yet, they won the last two UEFA Cup titles in 2005-06 and 2006-07. So, it is possible for them to do something better in Champions League 2007-08 season. On the other hand, AEK Athens is Greek club who does not have any success in Champions league or in UEFA Cup.

Romanian club Steaua Bucuresti is not so well known in the world. However, they already won one Champions league title. In 1985-86 season they won the UEFA Champions league tile defeating FC Barcelona in the final.

Slavia Prague is a Czech football club who does not have any notable success in Champions league. However, in domestic league they got different titles several times.

Arsenal is undoubtedly the most favorite in the group as they are most likely to qualify for the quarter final stage. If Sevilla can qualify then they will have better chance to be the second team from this group to enter into the quarter final stage. However, if they can not they it will be open to all other three teams to achieve the second place in the group.

Preview of all 8 Groups of UEFA Champions League 2007-08

UEFA Champions League is the greatest event in club football. 32 top clubs of Europe get the opportunity to take part in this competition. 2007-08 season of UEFA Champions League is going to begin soon. Today, we had the draw and now we know the group positions. We also know that there are 8 groups and each group has 4 clubs. The top two clubs will advance to the next round. Here, I am giving brief preview of all the 8 groups including the names of the clubs in each group.

Group A

Liverpool

Porto

Marseille

Besiktas

UEFA Champions League 2007-08 season draw has been over. Thirty two teams will be playing in eight groups of four teams each. Group A teams are Liverpool, Porto, Marseille and Besiktas. Liverpool is the most successful club in Champions League history among these four teams. They have won UEFA Champions League for five times and the most recent was in 2005 season. Last season Liverpool was the runner up of Champions League as in the final they lost to AC Milan. Liverpool is one of the most successful English clubs in English Premier League. Liverpool is the top seed team in Group A.

FC Porto is one of them most successful Portuguese club in Portugal domestic league. Porto has won Champions league title two times. Porto is one of those teams who appear regularly in Champions league. Olympique de Marseille is a major club in France who won 1993 UEFA Champions League and was runner up two years back in 1991. They could appear in the champions league final these two times. The other club of Group A is Turkish club Besiktas. They have not any notable record in Champions League history.

I think, Liverpool is most favorite in the group to enter into the knock out stage. For the second place there will be a hard fight between FC Porto and Olympique de Marseille because both clubs are in same level. Now, let us see who are going to be the two lucky teams to qualify for the quarter final stage from Group A.

Group B

CHELSEA

Valencia

Schalke 04

Rosenborg

Group B has four teams: CHELSEA, Valencia, Schalke 04 and Rosenborg. Among the, Chelsea is the top seed and Chelsea is perhaps the best club in England at this moment as Chelsea is in the first position of EPL this season so far. Valencia is a strong Spanish club too and it has been performing consistently well in the last few years in La Liga. Last season, Valencia was in the fourth position in La Liga and in UEFA Champions League 2006-07, Valencia reached to the quarterfinal stage and then lost to Chelsea. So, it will be interesting for us to see these two clubs in action this season in the same group of Champions League.

FC Schalke 04 is a German club and it was second in German Football League last season. FC Schalke 04 does not have good track record in UEFA Champions League. So, the top two clubs in this group would not need to bother about them so much. However, it will be a foolish thing to take FC Schalke 04 lightly. Rosenborg is a Norwegian club and it does not have good track record in UEFA Champions League either.

So, I guess that the main battle will be in between Chelsea and Valencia in Group B of UEFA Champions League 2007-08.

Group C

REAL MADRID

Werder Bremen

Lazio

Olympiakos

At first look, Group C seems to be a tough group for the clubs. Well, it is half true. There should be no competition for the first position as Real Madrid should become number one in this group easily. Well, you can never say what happens in Champions League football. For example, last year, Real Madrid could not become the top club in their group and Real Madrid had an early exit from the knockout stage. So, this will give some hope to the other 3 clubs but I don’t think that the other 3 clubs can come near to Real this time. Anyway, I think that Real Madrid is the favorite to top the group. They have perhaps the strongest squad in club football today.

The other 3 players will have to fight for the second position in Group C. Werder Bremen and Olympiakos did not have good performance last season. Lazio is back in Champions League action. They have everything to play for. I fancy Lazio doing well. Lazio was in the third position of last season of Italian League.

Group D

AC MILAN

Benfica

Celtic

Shakhtar Donetsk

Group D really looks a tricky one to me. Of course, you can easily omit Shakhtar Donetsk from the fight to go to the next round. Shakhtar Donetsk has never done anything impressive in Europe despite the fact it is a strong club in Ukraine. In fact, alst season, in Ukrainian Premier League, the club was in second position. AC Milan is the top seed in Group D and I feel they deserve to be the top seed. However, I am not expecting an easy time for AC Milan. You can never neglect a club like Benfica.

Benfica is highly experienced in Europe and no team can take them lightly. So, I am expecting a tough competition between Benfica and AC Milan in Group D. What about Celtic? Celtic is really an unpredictable team. It has a formidable squad and can offer some tough times to all the other clubs in this group. Celtic is the current champion of Scottish Premier League. In fact, Celtic lost to AC Milan in First Knockout Round of UEFA Champions League 2006-07 (last season). So, Group D can easily become the group of death for all the clubs.

Group E

Barcelona

Lyon

Stuttgart

Rangers

Barcelona is one of the most successful Spanish clubs in La Liga. Barcelona has two UEFA Champions League titles and the recent one was in 2006. They have some star players in the team. So, they are though to be one of the favorite to the Champions League title of 2007-2008 season.

Olympique Lyon is one of the most known French clubs. They have got many successes in their domestic leagues but they have not Champions league title yet. However, they plays in Champions League regularly.

Scottish club Rangers has a good popularity among the European teams. They won 51 Scottish league championship titles so far but they could not yet win any Champions league title. VfB Stuttgart is a German club who has sheer success in German league. However, they could not win any Champions league title.

I think, Group E is a tough team. It is like a group of death. Almost all the teams play very well. Anyway, I think, Barcelona is most likely to enter in the quarter final stage but it is not possible to say anything about any team specifically who has most chance to get into the next stage. The second place in Group E is open.

Group F

MANCHESTER UNITED

Roma

Sporting Lisbon

Dynamo Kiev

Manchester United is the top seed in Group F and Manchester United players can expect to become the top club in the group and advance to the next round. Manchester United is also the current champion of English Premier League. However, Manchester United is not in good form this season. In fact, Man United has the worst possible start to the season in many years. The bad form of Man United should give the other 3 clubs some hope. Roma is a strong club of Italy and Roma fans are dreaming their club to go to the second round.

If Roma fans can dream then Sporting Lisbon fans can also dream that they have something in this group. Dyano Kiev was once a mighty club but it has become weak because of many reasons. Anyway, I feel that Manchester United will go to second round from Group F. Roma and Sporting Lisbon will have to fight for the second spot.

Group G

Inter Milan

PSV Eindhoven

CSKA Moscow

Fenerbahce

Inter Milan is a famous Italian club who has won many domestic league titles in Italy. Inter Milan won champions league title twice and was runner up two times. Inter Milan has some star players who can lead the club to their third title in Champions League 2007-08. PSV Eindhoven is a well known European club from Netherlands. They have won Champions league title once in 1987-88 season.

PFC CSKA Moscow is the most successful Russian club in UEFA champions league. They appear regularly in Champions league. However, they are yet to win a champions league title. Their major success outside Russia was in 2005. They won the UEFA Cup title in 2005. Fenerbahce is a Turkish club who has 17 Turkish league title. However, they do not have any notable success in UEFA Champions League. However, this year they recruited some star players including Brazilian star Roberto Carlos. So, they can do better in Champions league 2007-08 season.

I think, Inter Milan is favorite to enter into the quarter final stage form Group G. However, for the second place of the group, there will be a hard competition between PSV Eindhoven and CSKA Moscow. I will not be astonished if any upset happens in this group.

Group H

Arsenal

Sevilla/AEK Athens

Steau Bucharest

Slavia Prague

This is the only group where at this moment five teams are involved. As the second leg match between Sevilla and AEK Athens in UEFA Champions league third qualify round has been postponed, both teams initially have been included in the group.

Arsenal is the top seeded team in this group. Arsenal is a popular English club who has won Premier League for 13 times. However, in Champions league their best result was in 2005-2006 where they achieved the runner up trophy.

Sevilla is a Spanish club who are now in good form. Though they could not won Champions league title yet, they won the last two UEFA Cup titles in 2005-06 and 2006-07. So, it is possible for them to do something better in Champions League 2007-08 season. On the other hand, AEK Athens is Greek club who does not have any success in Champions league or in UEFA Cup.

Romanian club Steaua Bucuresti is not so well known in the world. However, they already won one Champions league title. In 1985-86 season they won the UEFA Champions league tile defeating FC Barcelona in the final.

Slavia Prague is a Czech football club who does not have any notable success in Champions league. However, in domestic league they got different titles several times.

If Sevilla can qualify then they will have better chance to be the second team from this group to enter into the quarter final stage. However, if they can not they it will be open to all other three teams to achieve the second place in the group.

So, now you know about all the 8 groups of UEFA Champions League 2007-08. What is your favorite club?

Arsenal Thrashes Sparta Prague 3-0: UEFA Champions League Qualifier

It is a great win for Arsenal. The match has finished just an hour or two ago. Arsenal has defeated Sparta Prague by 3-0 in the second leg of Third Qualifying Round. The match took place in London and that is why it was a home game for Arsenal. I think that you remember that Arsenal won the first leg at Prague 2 weeks ago by 2-0. So, Arsenal won the qualifying round against Sparta Prague on an aggregate of 5-0. Quite convincing- isn’t it?

The irony of today’s match was that former Sparta Prague player Tomas Rosicky scored the first goal for Arsenal and that goal perhaps took the match from Sparta Prague’s hand totally. Of course, today, Arsenal dominated the whole time and played superbly and thus won the match. This win will help Arsenal players to boost their morale ahead of Champions League draw which is going to take place tomorrow.

BBC wrote:

Tomas Rosicky, playing against his former club, put the tie beyond doubt on seven minutes, converting Theo Walcott's cross with a crisp finish.

The Gunners did not need to find top gear, with Sparta offering little.

But Cesc Fabregas's 82nd-minute drive and Eduardo da Silva's last-minute volley confirmed Arsenal's dominance.

Arsenal does not have impressive track record in Europe. However, the fans are very happy that Arsenal is going to play in the group stage in UEFA Champions League 2007-08. The top management are happy too as it will ensure some much needed extra cash from Champions League matches. Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger is also happy with this result. The best part is that Arsenal did not miss Thiere Henry at all in this match. I guess that Henry will start to miss Arsenal soon.

UEFA Champions League 2007-2008 Draw: UEFA President Michel Platini to Propose a Reform in Qualifying Format

UEFA Champions League 2007-2008 draw will be held on 29 August 2007. The draw program will be held in Monaco. It has been reported that UEFA President Michel Platini will come up with some new plans regarding the present qualifying format of UEFA Champions League. Michel Platini will submit his proposals before the UEFA members and their will have discussion over it.

According to current format of UEFA Champions League, 16 clubs qualify directly to the group phase and other 16 clubs join in the group phase through the three qualifying rounds. Now, UEFA president wants to make champions league more open to all European clubs. According to Platini’s plan, along with 16 automatic qualifiers there will be 12 teams who will enter thorough playing the three qualifying rounds. The other four teams will come through a different qualifying round. All the cup winners of domestic league will compete in a different qualifying round for the four places. Thus, the minor teams will have good chance to enter in to the group phase of UEFA Champions League 2007-2008.

Now, the fans are excited ahead of the much awaited draw of Champions League 2007-2008 season. However, within few hours fans will get to know that in which group their favorite teams are going to play and who will be the other teams of that group.
