What a game in Madrid. Mourinho's substitutions looked guru as Benzema scored and Modric played well. Thank goodness cr7 was able to celebrate as much of us were concerned with his sadness. Milan doesn't look good and will have themselves to blame when Anderlecht advances through the group stage.
Group E
Shaktar v Nords - Zero insight here honestly. I still can't find the Ukrainian or Danish leagues on my cable box.
Chelsea v Juventus - Juve already rolling atop Serie A, still undefeated dating back to last year. Yup, picking against the defending champs, lucks runs out pal. Starting Goldilocks isn't going to change my mind either.
Group F
Bayern v Valencia - Taking Bayern at home today. Undoubtedly, Valencia has started well in their league campaign drawing with Los Blancos and narrowly losing to Barca. However, going to be a tough match to win in Munchen.
Lille v Bate - Kalou is good for a goal in this one and taking Lille.
Group G
Barca v Spartak - No brainer, Barca putting up a 5 spot today easily.
Celtic v Benfica - Benfica played very tough last year in the group stages and I like them and Barca coming out this group.
Group H
Braga v CFR Cluj - Cluuuuuuj...the Romanian club relishes the role as the underdog and sneaks out with a win.
ManU v Galatasaray - If there were no RVP I think this ends in a draw, HOWEVER, that is not the case. ManU takes 3 points today with a 3-1 victory.
