i expect ranger to be knocked out of 1st stage.
Is it true that the rules of UEFA Championship has changed? Like now FIFA increased to 3 stages for knockout instead of 2?
Evidently, they have scrapped the 2nd round group stage of matches. This means that they will play only this first round group stage and the top two from each team will progress into the direct knockout stages ....much like the world cup format.
There is no longer any 2nd round group stage which apparently was making the players doubly tired.
Anyway, here's the latest update!
Chelsea 1 Sparta Prague 0 (Scorer- William Gallas)
Man Utd 5 Panathinaikos 0 (Scorers - Philip Neville, Quinton Fortune, Ole Gunner Solskjaer, Nicky Butt, Eric Djemba-Djemba)
Rangers 2 Stuttgart 1 (Rangers Scorers - Christian Nerlinger, Perter Lovenkrands, Stuttgart scorer - Kevin Kuranyi)
AC Milan 1 Ajax Amsterdam 0 (Scorer - Filippo Inzaghi)
Real Madrid 4 Olympique de Marseille 2 (Real scorers - Roberto Carlos, Luis Nazerio Ronaldo (2), Luis Figo, Marseille scorers - Didier Drogba, Daniel Van Buyten)
