Champions league

I woke up at 3.30 this morning to catch the match on TV3 today. Phew, felt like a zombie and nearly died waking up. Luckily for me, the match was quite entertaining even though it was only a 1-0 win for Real Madrid. With Ivan Helguera provided the neat header off a curling Beckham free kick from the left of the area. The height of Ivan proved fatal for Juve as they already had all 11 players defending the free kick. Zidane mesmerized as usual with his flicks, and i thought beckham was quite effective as well. Graveson also impressed me very much, he seem to have settled into Real well, getting the tackles in and providing some neat passes to his teammates. Juventus played rough football especially after they had Nedved stretched off in the first half, looking at him making the off the balls runs and slicing the defence open, you wouldnt fault that he was recently crowned European footballer of the year. : )

Other results are as follows :
Liverpool 3(Garcia, Riise, Hamann) - 1(Souza) Leverkusan <<>>
Bayern 3(Pizarro, Pizarro, Salihamidzic) - 1( Toure) Arsenal
PSV 1(Alex) - 0 Monaco
