Vit Setubal match – Goals by Rocker, Stepinski, Costa, OG forced by Komorski, Stepinski, Strandberg, backup and subbed in Oscar Cardona, and we win 7-0. MOM is Stepinski.
I had subbed in Vitor Barreto, and he was injured for a few weeks.
Ten players in Team of Week.
Champions Cup 1st Knockout Round:
Liverpool vs Porto
CSKA Moscow vs Man Utd
Dortmund vs Tottenham
Olympiakos vs Juventus
Man City vs Benfica
Inter vs Real Madrid
Napoli vs Nacional
Barcelona vs Paris S-G
So, there are a few opportunities here to pare down some quality, like Barcelona-Paris, Inter vs Real Madrid and Moscow-Man Utd. I can still remember when CSKA Moscow just eviscerated us in these knockout rounds earlier, I’d be happy to see them out. Napoli is not a bad draw. There could have been a lot worse, but there were some better level 2 matchups.
Despite winning their Groups, Porto and Benfica didn’t exactly come out singing. Benfica has the very rough Man City matchup and Porto has Liverpool. Sure, we handled them and came out with 4 points in our two matches against them, but can Porto?
I guess we’ll see!
