Tricky draw for the Portuguese... Sporting have a decent opponent, but the game in Warsaw will be very difficult. And if they get through, they'll play with Porto or City, the last one very hard. Braga might be prejudiced because of Carvalhal's knowledge of the Portuguese championship.
City win 2-1 against Porto, Sporting drew with Legia, being the Portuguese team with best chances to get to the next phase. Where they might face City.

Still they are playing utter shit. Without the help of English refs United aren't so good. Proven countless of times in Europe Edited by Alakagom on 08-03-2012 21:55
Dutch teams are doing suprisingly well this year though. Shame ajax didn't knock out Man U a round earlier. They could have if they believed more in themselves.
AZ and Twente have a nice position for the away match. PSV looked screwed but somehow managed to get to 4-2 and still have a shot for their home match.
Amazing game for Athletic Club Bilbao, what a great perfomance! Basque Country isn't from this evening in sport only cycling and Euskaltel for me for sure. I absolutely want to watch another Athletic's game as soon as possible!
Nice to see Euskal.... I mean Athletic winning in Old Trafford. Not so nice to see Valencia letting PSV score two goals just because. It shouldn't mean anything as we've been immensely better, but still.
Way to go Mehmet:
