Champions League First Analysis

I wanted to share with you my first post in the Analysis section of the Champions League! I analysed who I think will qualify to the 2nd round for each group with 2 matches still left.

Group A:

In this group the teams are Twente, Werder Bremen, Tottenham, and Inter Milan. This is the current points of this group:

Team	Games					Goals
		Pts	P	W	D	L	F	A
	Tottenham	7	4	2	1	1	12	8
	Inter Milan	7	4	2	1	1	11	8
	Twente	5	4	1	2	1	6	7
	Werder Bremen	2	4	0	2	2	3	9

I got this from Goal.com where they created this table. Now if you see Tottenham are 7 and Inter are 7. Inter's next 2 matches are against Twente and Werder Bremen. Now I think they can win these matches so I am sure Inter will qualify. Tottenham's next matches are against Werder Bremen and Twente and I also think they have a big chance of winning.

 Results: The qualified teams that I think will make it 100 percent are Tottenham and Inter Milan

Group B:

In this Group the teams are Hapoel, Schalke, Benifca, and Lyon. Now these are the current points with 2 games left.

Team	Games					Goals
		Pts	P	W	D	L	F	A
	O. Lyon	9	4	3	0	1	9	5
	Schalke 04	7	4	2	1	1	5	2
	Benfica	6	4	2	0	2	6	7
	Hapoel	1	4	0	1	3	2	8

Now if you see Lyon is leading by 2 points and has 2 more games. This is a hard group because actually Benfica can make it so it is a battle with 3 teams. Let us start with the upcoming 2 games for Lyon. The next match for Lyon will be against Schalke which will be a decisive match. The game after that for Lyon will be against  Hapoel which will be an easy win for Lyon. The next match for Benfica is against Hapoel which will be a expected win for Benfica and that will keep Benfica in the race. Then the game after that is against Schalke which will be also a decisive match. 

Result: I think Lyon will definitely qualify. The second team that I think will qualify is Schalke/Benfica because it is too hard to decide. Maybe after the next match I will surely know who will probably qualify.

Group C:

In this Group the teams are Manchester United, Bursaspor, Valencia, and Rangers. This is the current scores for each team:

Team	Games					Goals
		Pts	P	W	D	L	F	A
	Man Utd.	10	4	3	1	0	5	0
	Valencia	7	4	2	1	1	8	2
	Rangers	5	4	1	2	1	2	4
	Bursaspor	0	4	0	0	4	0	9

That looks obviously easy to decide with Manchester United looking to qualify. Bursaspor has no chance to qualify because it is currently 0 points. Rangers has a chance but let us see the upcoming matches for these teams. The next match for Man United is against Rangers and the last game against Rangers they stayed 0-0 but I think Manchester Untied could win this Match. After that Man United will play against Valencia and the previous game was 1-0 for Man United so I think they can win again. The next match for Rangers is against Man United where are expected to lose. Then after that against Bursaspor where Rangers are expected to win and will take the points. Valencia's next match is against Bursaspor where they will be expected to win. After that match they have a tough match against Manchester United and we have to see that match but Man United is expected to win.

Result: I think this is hard one but I will go for Manchester United will qualify and Valencia and that is what I think.

Group D:

In this group the teams are Barcelona, Copenhagen, Panathinaikos, and Rubin. This is their current scores:

Team	Games					Goals
		Pts	P	W	D	L	F	A
	Barcelona	8	4	2	2	0	9	3
	Copenhagen	7	4	2	1	1	4	3
	Rubin	3	4	0	3	1	1	2
	Panathinaikos	2	4	0	2	2	1	7

If you realized Barcelona were playing very poorly tying 2 matches but keeping up and won 2 matches. Copenhagen are going well Winning 2 drawing 1 and losing 1. I can say from here that Rubin and Panathinaikos have no chance of qualifying. Barcelona's next game is against Panathinaikos and they won 5-1 last time so this time they will win. The game after that for Barca will be against Rubin where they tied 1-1 last game but Barcelona are expected to win the match. Copenhagen's next match is against Rubin where Copenhagen are expected to win. The game after that for Copenhagen will be against Panathinaikos and again they will be expected to win.

Result: Barcelona will qualify for sure and Copenhagen will qualify as well and that is what I think.

Group E:

The teams that are in this team are Basel, CFR Cluj, Roma, and Bayern Munich. This is a table with the current scores for each team that was created by Goal.com

Team	Games					Goals
		Pts	P	W	D	L	F	A
	Bayern Munich	12	4	4	0	0	11	3
	Roma	6	4	2	0	2	6	8
	Basel	3	4	1	0	3	7	8
	CFR Cluj	3	4	1	0	3	5	10

This is a kind of easy Group too to Analysis because CFR Cluj and Basel have no chance of qualifying. Roma's next match is against Bayern Munich which will be a really hard game but last time Bayern Munich won so they are expected to win again. The next match for Roma is against CFR Cluj where Roma is expected to win. I can analysis this from seeing Roma's next matches easily.

Results: I think that Bayern Munich by having 12 points they will definitely qualify and also Roma will qualify.

Group F:

In this group it has my ultimate favorite team CHELSEA! The teams that are in this group are Spartak, Zilina, Marseille, and Chelsea. This are the current points for these teams:

Team	Games					Goals
		Pts	P	W	D	L	F	A
	Chelsea	12	4	4	0	0	12	2
	Marseille	6	4	2	0	2	8	3
	Spartak	6	4	2	0	2	5	6
	MSK Zilina	0	4	0	0	4	1	15

I can say from now that MSK Zilina can not Qualify in any way. Now there is a battle between Spartak and Marseille and who will qualify. Well let us see! The upcoming match for Marseille is against Spartak which will be the decisive match but last match they played Spartak won 1-0. The thing is that time Marseille was not good but maybe Marseille got confident from the 7-0 win against Zilina. Marseille will play against Chelsea after that where Chelsea will be expected to win (duh). Spartak's next game is against Marseille which I will count as a tie because it is a hard match to predict. After that Spartak will play against Zilina where Spartak will obviously win. NOW I DO NO NOT NEED TO PUT CHELSEA'S UPCOMING MATCHES CUZ THEY ARE QUALIFYING. After you calculate all the points for the predicted matches Chelsea will end with 18 points and Marseille will end with 7 or 9 but we will see what it is. Spartak in my opinion will end with also 9 or 12 depending and Zilina will end with sadly 0 points!

Result: Chelsea and Spartak will qualify because Marseille will get a hard match against Chelsea while Spartak will get teams they are capable of winning. It is really hard deciding but one of those teams will qualify.

Group G:

The teams that are in the group are Ajax, Milan, Auxerre, and Real Madrid. These are the current points for this group:

Team	Games					Goals
		Pts	P	W	D	L	F	A
	Real Madrid	10	4	3	1	0	7	2
	Milan	5	4	1	2	1	5	5
	Ajax	4	4	1	1	2	4	6
	AJ Auxerre	3	4	1	0	3	3	6

This is a little complicated. The thing is between each team there is not that match difference and now it depends on the matches they get so let us see here a little. Milan's next game is against Auxerre where Milan is expected to win. The match for Milan after that is against Ajax where also they are expected to win against. Ajax next match is against Real Madrid where Real Madrid is expected to win. The match after that for Real Madrid will be against Milan so Ajax will get the hard teams meaning that they look like they will loose their 2 upcoming matches. In the end according to my predictions these are the final scores: Real Madrid will end up with 16 points, Milan will end with 11 points, Ajax will end with 4 points, and Auxerre will end with 3 points.

Result: Real Madrid and Milan look more likely to qualify then the rest of the teams.

Group H:

The teams in this group are Braga, Arsenal, Shakhtar, and Partizan. These are the current scores:

Team	Games					Goals
		Pts	P	W	D	L	F	A
	Arsenal	9	4	3	0	1	15	4
	Shakhtar	9	4	3	0	1	7	6
	Braga	6	4	2	0	2	3	9
	Partizan	0	4	0	0	4	1	7

This Group is hard to predict because one of those 3 teams can win it. Let me say now Partizan is impossible to win the group in any way. Arsenal's next match is against Braga where Arsenal are expected to win. The match for Arsenal after that is against Partizan where again are able to defeat them. Shakhtar next game is against Partizan where Shakhtar is expected to win. The game for Shakhtar after that is against Braga where again are able to defeat. After the predictions of the matches here is what we end with: Arsenal will end with 15 points, Shakhtar if able to win the 2 matches will end with 15 points, Braga will end with 6 points, and Partizan will stay with the 0 points. 

Result: Arsenal and Shakhtar are expected to qualify!

Bayern Munich vs CFR Cluj 4-0 victory Reaction

Yesterday November 3 Bayern Munich played against  CFR Cluj and won 4-0 with a hat trick by Gomez and a goal by the substitute Mueller in the 90th  minute. Louis van Gaal talked about how impressed he was by Bayern's performance and this is what he said:

"Cluj had many technical players, but did not evolve as a real team," Van Gaal told Prosport after the match. "I am very pleased with our game, except how we started the match.

"We played well for about 80 minutes, stayed well-positioned on the field and my team scored goals. I think we played even better here than we did in Munich against them a fortnight ago.

"The key to tonight's match was Schweinsteiger," added van Gaal.

The CFR Cluj Coach Sorin Cartu was ashamed by his team's defeat to Bayern Munich. This is what he had to say:

"There was a big difference between the two sides that is shameful," the coach told Sport365.ro in a post-match interview. "We were embarrassed in the first half.

"In the second, we had the opportunity to score, but we missed our chances.

"Bayern's victory is deserved, even if the scoreline does not flatter us. I do not want to know what would have happened had they played Ribery and Robben.

"It is normal to be upset, but we must accept this defeat," concluded Cartu.

Oh well sad him but it is OK! 
Well I am done with the Reaction to all the games of November 3 and I will be doing the same thing in the next Champions League Match Day.

GO BLUES! GO CHELSEA! YOU ARE THE BEST!

Marseille 7-0 win against Zilina Reaction

Marseille played against Zilina yesterday November 3 and won 7-0 which was a thrashing from Marseille. Marseille's coach Didier Deschamps said the 7-0 victory was fun for the players and for him and this is what he said:

“It's fun,” Deschamps told Canal+. “It does not happen often, especially in the Champions League. We wanted this win. I put the team out that I thought was the best, that I would have lined up against Rennes [in the weekend’s postponed match].

Though Gignac struck three times, it was Argentine midfielder Lucho Gonzalez who Deschamps chose to speak about immediately after the game. 

“I'm obviously happy with Lucho. We saw a lot more of him today. Whether it was in general play or finishing, he was better.”

This was fun for him but sad for Pavel Hapal who is the coach of Zilina and came out apologizing to the fans of this great 7-0 defeat. This is what Pavel said:

“I must confess that I did not want to come to the press room, not because I was afraid to answer questions but rather because it was very difficult to evaluate this game,” Hapal told the media. “We lost by conceding seven goals! It's a large defeat; it was very bad. 

“It's a shame for our fans because they came and they hoped to see something more positive. I ask forgiveness for our performance. I hope the team will improve in the future.”

Too bad for them the next match they have is against Chelsea and after this 7-0 defeat they will have no confidence so I just want to tell Zilina 2 words Hard Luck against Chelsea.

Roma vs Basel 3-2 Reactions

Yesterday November 3 Roma played against Basel and they won 3-2 and that was important win for Roma. Claudio Ranieri came out and talked about the match and this is what he had to say:

"The first-half was very good, even after the first 20 minutes of Basel pressure," the coach told Sky Sportpost-match. "After the break, we needed to better with the ball and slow the tempo of the match down.

"Instead, we were unable to, and they were dangerous. We suffered a lot, as we soaked up a lot of pressure, but we won and that is the important thing."

Ranieri then explained why certain players made a surprise appearance this evening in such a important clash.

"I have to put on the park the players who are in form," he said. "On many occasions, it is a balancing act and it is not easy. At this time, it is better to be covered from all angles, like a boxer. It is only when we don't have cover that we are in danger.

"We had to win at all costs," he concluded.

Basil Coach Thorsten Fink talked about how his team wasn't the second best and little about the game and this is what he had to say:

   

"I don't think we were second best tonight, Roma just had tremendous quality," Fink told UEFA.com post-match. "We started well, but were not focused for one second and conceded a goal.

"That's how it goes in the Champions League. The team twice showed a great reaction and we had chances to get an equaliser until the latter stages. 

"I said before the match that we are the underdogs, yet it was a close affair. Now we need to beat CFR Cluj and then we should get third place," he concluded.

That was all the reactions for this game and please TUNE IN FOR THE OTHER 2 GAMES REACTIONS!
