Real Madrid v. Lyon should be a great game. Another game that strikes my attention is Liverpool v. PSV.

Celtic-manu should be great, if only for the crowd.

Dont expect much from the liverpool-psv game as both teams are already qualified. Watch out for psv in the rest of the competition though

Doesn't the PSV - Liverpool game decide who qualifies in first?

I like the matchup though... Not the best teams in the world, but both have interesting players.

UPDATE:

Real 0 - 2 Lyon.

Wow, Real really does not match up well against Lyon. Amazing...

Real got really lucky. I watched most of the game and Real was pretty bad. Especially their defense (Helguera, Cannavaro) was struggling throughout the game. Carew was really impressive. I think he is underrated. Real would have won too, if van nistelrooy hadn't taken the pk (golden rule of not taking it after being fouled yourself).

Other games: nice upset for Celtic, great freekick. Arsenal was struggling vs HSV, who are basically a one-man team, but got through in the end. Milan is clearly no longer the team it was over the last years.

I heard that Nakamura's free-kick was textbook.

Can't wait to go home and see it...

Not too many interesting games today.

I think my attention will be divided between barca, psv, and the outcomes of our federal elections.

Boring Matchday, in general. Highlight was Celtic beating United.
