UEFA CL First Leg Round Up Feb 23rd


Marseille 0-0 Manchester United

Manchester United visited Marseille for their first Leg UEFA CL knockout match. Manchester United did not play to its potential and definitely disappointed its fans. But a fair result at the end. It was a scoreless draw and Manchester United would be looking to take care of business at home when Marseille visit Old Trafford to play the second leg of the knock out game. It was pretty boring game with hardly any chances for a goal. Hopefully the second leg brings in some pulsating moments.

Inter Milan 0-1 Bayern Munich 

This was one of the highly reputed matches of this season. A replay of last season UEFA finalists and its sad that one of them have to bow out in the early stages this season. It looks like the wrath could be on last year's UEFA champions Inter Milan. They have conceded an all important away goal to Bayern Munich. Thanks to the last minute goal from Mario Gomez. Both teams showed attacking intent from the start and it was a fairly open affair. But Bayern walked out with one one leg towards the quarterfinals. But nothing is a done deal till the last minute and that is the beauty of this competition. Inter would be looking to cancel out the away goal when it visit Bayern to play the second leg.
