Bayern Munich had an easy afternoon in Milan, where it was dominated by Inter with 2-0. Without a particularly good performance, the Bavarians kept the Italians out of their large area (to the relief of Cannes) and with a goal at the beginning of each half, they came to victory.
In Oslo, European champions Liverpool gave football lessons to the unskilled Norwegians. With the cross almost, the Reds were ahead with a lightning strike of Gerard from 45 meters! Two goals by Milan Baros and one by Sissoko made it 0-4, which was also a half time score. In the replay, the Liverpool players maintained strength and kept the score at a reasonable level. 1 minute before the end, however, Jibril Cisse took advantage of a series of counterattacks in the small area and with ... a part of his body (which did not appear on camera) sent the ball into the net for the 5th time. The foul case has been ruled out, as Cisse clearly sees that before advancing the ball he has raised his hands high and shouts: "Look at the hands ..."
Ajax and East Stirling have abused football, with 2 players heavy in the stadium without courage to fight. It is clear that most had gained several pounds in the previous days, which affected their fitness. 0-0 fully reflects the image of the race.
Watford, who went down to Old Trafford, showed incredible courage to play openly and try to cross Manchester United. The lack of concentration on the finishes of the phases, however, was evident and so a whole lot of opportunities went missing. 0-0 and here's the final score, with Christian Ronaldo crying because Sir Alex Ferguson changed him ...
In Jose Alvalade, Sporting was played without an opponent and the 3-0 came with a distinct ease. Most of the time, the Belgians crammed the colorful stadium seats, as the team's name did not attract the crowd to come and watch the match.
Turin found her master in Constantinople and, after a promising appearance in the friendly Ajax, succumbed to the fervor of her Fenerbahce players. In a stadium, the Turks surprised their opponents and with 2 quickly scored a clear victory.
Kolo-Kolo and Lazio were playing ... catenaccio. "John is afraid of the wild and the wild is John" was in short the image of the match and the white tie was undoubtedly the fairest result.
Manchester City won the fight against the Partizan fighter. Although the Serbs came into the game louder and threatened to take the lead, City took advantage of the air and with 2 header scored in rebounds, the winner left the field.
Bilbao finally entered the field with wild moods and it seemed that it was only a matter of time before Middlesbrough's home would be breached. The English seemed to have lost them and did not know where they were going, but the hosts proved to be polite hosts! In one of the matches, where the saying "Everything is lost ..." fits like a glove, the strikers of Atletico lost the "forever", making their coach on the bench kick what he found in front of him!
