The Spanish representatives of Group C & D in the Champions League
had their turn tonight & won their respective games. Here is a quick
summary of the scores, scorers & images.
Lets start with Group D & Atletico de Madrid , because SFS prefers
it that way :)
ATLETICO DE MADRID hosted PSV EINDOVEN in an empty
stadium, due to the Uefa sanction over the "violence" when Lyon
visited in their first game. That fact, & the cold atmosphere did not
hamper Atletico who won 2-1 & managed to go on to qualify for the
next phase along with Liverpool ( both share the Group leadership).
In fact, Atletico played well & started early to show its dominance
with a goal by SIMAO in the 14th min, that was later followed with
another by MAXI RODRIGUEZ ( below) in the 27th min.
See his goal on video:
The 2º half was more of the same with good At.Madrid play but PSV
pulled one back early to create hope & put some nerves into Atleticos´s
system with a goal by KOEVWRMANS in the 47th min. But Atletico
held out, played their game & managed to hold on & stand still to
the Dutch.
FC BARCELONA are in great form & put on a show against
SPORTING LISBOA with a 2-5 victory. They are clear
leaders of Group C & have qualified for the next stage with
clear dominance.
The 1ºst half saw Barça run riot with goals by HENRY in the
13th min & PIQUE in the 16th min, to later see Sporting gain its
head to at least halt the Barça onslaught.
However, Barça again opened the flood gates in the 2ºhalf with
more goals from MESSI in the 50th min, CARNEIRA in the 67th
min & BOJAN from the penalty spot in the 73rd min.
Sporting also got into the goal action in the 2ºhalf with goals from
VELOSO in the 65th min & LIEDSON in the 66th min...two minutes
of glory tonight for Sporting, but just 2 minutes!
Good win for Barça they look really good in Europe folks!
