So the first leg of the round of 16 is over & not to mention there have been some unexpected results.
Bayern 1
AC Milan 1
I was expecting a draw or 2-1 win for Bayern & the scoreline is probably not so surprising,BTW fabulous strike from Ballack.BTW Milan have the upper hand now.
PSV 0
Lyon 1
Though i din expect Lyon to win but also i din think they would lose,but PSV were hard done.Lyon surely fav now.
Benfica 1
Liverpool 0
OK i really din expect a loss,it was a bit of surprise but the game was dull & anybody could have taken it,unfortunately it was the home side.Still Liverpool can geniunely think of going thru to the quarters.
Real 0
Arsenal 1
Well this was a SHOCKER for me ,thought arsenal would lose 2/3-0 but they really put in a gritty performance.Still the tie is 50-50 i think.
Ran 2
Villareal 2
din expect much from gers ,they did well but Villareal look like they will go thru with those 2 away goals.
Ajax 2
Inter 2
if ajax held on to their 2-0 lead may be they would have been fav but now it would swing in Inter's favour(home adv. & 2 away goals.)
Wer 3
Juve 2
Gr8 match.Still Juve are fav but Werder are not out yet.May be they can pull off a surprise.
And finally
Che 1
Barca 2
This one i'm sure Chelsea are out now.I'm delighted TBH with this scoreline,who cares what was on the ref's mind,BTW Ronaldinho looked fabulous again.
At this point i would say Barcelona are the fav to win the cup.
Lets wait for the second legs..............
I love champions league

i don't think ronaldihno had a fabulous game! i think Leo Messi was the only barca player who was excellent!

Bayern a think might sneak through
Lyon should go theough easily
Liverpool should be an easy home win
Rangers will make it hopefully,gd perofrmance tonight.
Juventus will make it although werder bremen will give them a good game.
Barca will have too much for chelski at home.
Ajax have lost it by losing two away goals.
Real,Arsenal is close,i hope madrid make it but arsenal have evry chance.
Can't see any big surprises in the results

Ac milan (away goal)
Lyon (better team)
Liverpool (better team)
Barca (too much class)
Villareal (away goals & Riquelme)
will advance.
Inter vs Ajax and 
vs Madrid are too close tom call.
I think Wer advancing ahead of Juve will be the upset of the round.

Ronnie was awesome in the last 30 minutes.
Best player since Maradona in my opinion, surpasses Zidanne, Baggio, Gullit, Ronaldo, Van Basten and Rivaldo.

Puyol did a great match too, the only top class spanish defender atm.

What would Messi cost to buy?? I would love to see someone like him down our right wing!!! Would almost be worth any price??
He was magical today and Ronny chiming during the second half just about wrapped up any chance of Chelsea continuing in the CL for 2006.

well messi has a buy out clause of over 100million so i think that rules us out! Shows how highly barca rate him and they wont let him go, looks like a star for the future.

In short about 101million (not sure whether it's £ or €) either way we wouldn't even have enough monopoly money. If i'm wrong i'm sure sabre will have a better idea but it'll deffo be an astronomical amount to buy out his contract.
Arrgh Bollox i've been beaten to it.

Neither Zidane nor Gullit IMO...at least not yet...we tend to make idols too early...awesome player though. Tonight game star has definitely been Messi...I think he is going to be "his" world cup...and being so young...he may reign next ten years.
And...Sabre...I reckon Puyol is an outstanding defender, maybe the most reliable rite now but...what do you think about Sergio Ramos? (apart from your anti-Madrid feeling of course )

AC Milan through....Away goal, although not a certainty.
Lyon through........Away goal and a strong team.
Inter Through ......Two away goals
Juventus through .....2 away goals with home leg to go.
LFC Through...with help of the 12th man! Benfica may score, but I think we will score more than two at Anfield! having said that..................er er er..
Barca Through...Chelsea may score at the nou camp, but I think Barca will too,, probably 4 or 5 !
Arsenal I think will score at Highbury and will outplay Madrid.
Villareal..

I don't understand why everyone is yelling over the red card. You can see that Del Horno is not going after the ball but instead aims for Messi. Not a clear red card but it's not strange that it's being called since Messi would have gotten a nice chance at goal if he wasn't mauled like that.
Just a few minutes earlier Del Horno impales Messis knee with his studs and that in itself could have been awarded a red card. Instead the ref let's it go.

Agreed. The hilariously biased commentators on Sky Sports failed to notice that. The ref should have red carded Del Horno for the dangerous tackle with the studs on the knee, and I think when he saw Del Horno shoulder charge Messi not long afterwards, he probably thought "Ok I cut this guy a break once, but now he's got to go".
Yeah, Messi made a meal of it, but who cares?
Jose has a short memory when it comes to players acting hurt just to get another player sent off. Bye Bye Chelsea!!!!
