TEAM NEWS

Arsenal name skipper Thierry Henry on the bench, so Julio Baptista continues to deputise up front and is joined by Emmanuel Adebayor. Former Liverpool defender Jan Kromkamp and ex-Newcastle striker Patrick Kluivert miss out for PSV, but there was a start for China midfielder Sun Xiang.

Manchester United surprisingly leave first-leg scorer Ryan Giggs on the bench, while Mikael Silvestre is preferred to Gabriel Heinze at left-back in the absence of Patrice Evra. Lille, who are without Mathieu Bodmer and Yohan Cabaye, are able to call upon Kader Keita after he missed the first leg through suspension.

Celtic make two changes from the first leg, with Mark Wilson replaced at right-back by Paul Telfer and Jiri Jarosik preferred to Kenny Miller. AC Milan recall Paolo Maldini after he was rested at the weekend.

PSV, Madrid, Milan and United to go through

Arsenal ( all though really only saying this because i support them), Bayern, Milan and Utd...to go through.

Its beginning

Makaay for Bayern after 10 seconds, is that the fastest CL goal ever

Was it a good goal?

It was a great finish after a huge mistake by Roberto Carlos. Salihamidzic took advantage of it, made a good assist to Makaay, he finished it ruthlessly as usual.

Roberto Carlos.

I have him in my EB Cup team

Snoozefest so far

Yesterday's games > today's games

There's an extra in here somewhere. So many candidates.

Well tbh the CL is just shit lately, much more entertaining stuff in the Uefa-cup! Newcastle-AZ will be the match of this week!

Football's not as good as it used to be.

Atleast it wasn't just an entire evening devoted to the "Also-rans" though.

Terrible entertainment so far.

Allez Le Frogs!

7 goals so far in over 500 minutes of football.

You know im right Luis!

Worst night of CL ever

Uefa cup is the CL' ugly sister, everyone knows it.

BTW there's a big article on Feyenoord's rivalry with Ajax in this months Four Four Two mag, should be a good read

Never in the history of football have so many buses been parked in front of so many goals

It SHOULD be the ugly sister, but tonight its just horrible. And its not the first time this happens. I was used to being entertained by Juve kicking ajax always out, Manu, Madrid etc.

That should be a good read indeed, im sure you will be a supporter of Feyenoord immediatly if you know how dirty ajax is!!

An own goal for Arsenal, just about sums tonight up. Can nobody score a proper goal?

Poor quality of managers. Most only know two tactics, catenaccio and express yourself. Both are awful in Europe in entertainment purposes as we've found out.

Arsenal are stuffed

Nice for the English that every «English» team went through this round.
