Champions League (Sept.15, 2004)

[GoLeafsGo]

did anybody else see Bayer Leverkusen kick some Real Madrid ass today?? It was a highly entertaining game for the netural spectator. I'm a Leverkusen fan and although I have a ton of respect for the team that Madrid can field, I thoroughly enjoyed what I watched.

Can you believe that Real has Michael Owen and Morientes sitting on the BENCH?? Raul is in such a HUGE slump and should've played himself on to the bench, especially when you've got an Owen on the bench. Camacho is just a little TOO loyal methinks.

Agreed.

It was a major ass kicking!

Is Real Madrid going to be the Lakers of the NBA?

Great Game !!!

Yeah, I saw the whole thing. A very entertaining match indeed !!! Bayer Leverkusen could have been up by 3 goals quite easily in the first half. They missed a few golden opportunities. But they converted their chances very well in the second half. Real Madrid, with all it's star power, were left chasing the ball and their defense was virtually non-existent at times. Even David Beckham had to take a defensive role and he really sucks at it. He was marking the player who put in the second goal and all Beckham did was stand a few yards from him without applying any pressure. As if that's not bad enough, Zidane is out for 3 weeks with a dislocated shoulder. What can I say about Raul? He was practically useless. Morientes was substituted for Zidane after his injury but had zero impact as well. A well deserved victory for Bayer Leverkusen !!!

Law of diminishing returns?? all the star power on that team and they couldn't muster up a goal? They looked so uninterested and unfocused on defence.

Has anybody seen highlights of the Roma vs. Dynamo Kyiv game?? The Score didn't show any video from it. I wanted to see the foul that prompted the red card and to see the missile from the crowd that struck Anders Frisk (the referee.)

(thanks for the_b_E for noticing my horrible mistake)

I think they stopped the game. Dynamo Moscow was leading 1-0

It's Dynamo Kyiv by the way.

www.goal.com is also a solid site.
