UEFA Champions League: Match Day 2

Lots of good action coming up in Tuesday and Wednesday's Champions League matches, highlighted by Porto making a trip to Arsenal. I'm curious about the Zenit St. Petersburg/Real Madrid. I thought Zenit played a solid match at Juventus last week and perhaps a little home cooking with help then take 3 points.

Bordeaux and Roma is certainly a critical match; the loser will be without a point after 2 of 6 rounds and in a big hole to make it to the next round.

Everyone in Group E played to a draw, so there is an opportunity for the road teams (Man U. and Celtic) to pick up some all important three points on the road.

Tuesday
(E) AaB vs. Man. United
(E) Villarreal vs. Celtic
(F) Fiorentina vs. Steaua
(F) Bayern Munich vs. Lyon
(G) Arsenal vs. Porto
(G) Fenerbahçe vs. Dynamo Kyiv
(H) Zenit St. Petersburg vs. Real Madrid
(H) BATE vs. Juventus

Wednesday
(A) CFR Cluj vs. Chelsea
(A) Bordeaux vs. Roma
(B) Anorthosis vs. Panathinaikos
(B) Internazionale vs. Bremen
(C) Sporting vs. Basel
(C) Shakhtar vs. Barcelona
(D) Liverpool vs. PSV
(D) Atlético de Madrid vs. Marseille

Current Group Standings

And below has to be the goal of the weekend - Hull City's Geovanni evening it up against Arsenal from outside of the penalty box. Hull City went on to pull off the huge upset, 2-1, at Arsenal.
