CHAMPIONS LEAGUE. BARCELONA WINS & VALENCIA LOSES. BOTH QUALIFY FOR THE NEXT ROUNDS

Celebration at "Camp Barça" as FC BARCELONA secured its place
in the next round by defeating German team WERDER BREMEN
2-0.

It was a MUST WIN game for Barça, 95,000 fans packed the stands
& witnessed a superb 1º goal from a RONALDINHO free kick, which
he placed skidding the turf & anticipating the German wall jump - as
pictured below. It was pure class & very very smart.

This shell shocked the Germans & Ronaldinho again played his part
when he grabbed the ball in the midfield & found Guily insight the box,
who controlled superbly to pass to GUDJOHNSEN alone who riffled
the 2º goal - pictured below.

The 2º half saw W.Bremen attempt to equalize but Barça keep it under
control to win & qualify.

The other Spanish team that played tonight was VALENCIA CF away
to ROMA. Valencia was already through to the next round & really had
nothing in play except pride. In the other case, Roma needed to win to

stay in the competition & that need saw a more aggressive Italian side.
The end result was a 1-0 victory to Roma with a goal in the 12´min by
PANUCCI - pictured below.

Conclusion, Barça , Valencia & Roma go throught to the next
round.
RESULTS & SCORERS:
Fc Barcelona 2 (Ronaldinho; Gudjohnsen) - Werder Bremen 0

Roma 1 (Panucci) - Valencia CF 0

FC BARCELONA & VALENCIA
CF play tonight in their respective
Groups ( A & D) differing matches.

In Barça case, its a MUST WIN,
situation against German side
WERDER BREMEN if they are
to qualify for the following rounds.

Its tension time at "Camp Barça",
& the "Nou Camp" is expected to
be a full house with followers
roaring on their team. The only
"cool as a cucumber" figure seems
to be RONALDINHO - pictured -
who may well be the key.

Group A match:

Different story for Valencia
CF who have their qualification
secure & travel to ROME to
play a AS ROMA side who must
grab at least a point in order to
qualify.

The pressure is on the Romans as
the Spanish side take a few reserve
players. One of those who may get
a run is FRANCESCO TAVANO -

Empoli & has´nt found a spot in
the 1º side.
