Goal as the Hulk, who decided the outcome of the meeting, was credited himself forward, his brilliantly exploits the opportunity. At the beginning of the match, he forgave the "Miner", in the end - punished for the mistake. Now the "Port" can breathe freely.

At the same time last friendlies Germans and Spaniards, the reigning world champion and Europe, can not compare - Germany was playing at home. If you look at those goals, which we missed - they were killed in the counterattack, when we relaxed for a moment, for what the Germans have been punished in cold blood. In the same way they beat for example, England at the last World Cup.


Nobody expected our defeat, and because we started the match really well, but at crucial moments we had bad luck "- quoted by van Bommel Goal.com.


Recall Germany in a friendly match held yesterday, beat Holland 3-0.

- Recently, the analysis of our games get very similar - began the Italian. - The team as a whole had a good game against a strong opponent. We are unable to use those points to create a great difficulty. Sometimes it comes from too much desire. We're playing at high speed, quick to decide, perhaps, so in decisive moments we lacked composure. Today, we never for a moment lost the balance between attack and defense, virtually nothing is allowed to create a rival. Do not forget that before this match APOEL scored in each match, players and guests today have caused only one shot on goal for the entire meeting. I can tell my kids: "Well done."

Dortmund "Borussia" was to play an important second consecutive game - and just four days after the first. If in Munich to decide whether or not to be intrigue in the fight for the German championship, then in London would almost certainly decide the fate of "yellow-black" in European competition this season. Before the game, "Arsenal" was in first place with eight points in the asset, and "Borussia", which received four points, took third place in Group E. Table Thus, the only victory gave the Germans a real chance to compete in the final round for an exit in the playoffs. Draw in London, the chances are declining sharply, and the defeat called into question the very possibility of the presence of "Borussia" in the European Cup spring. On the contrary, the position of "Arsenal" was very comfortable. Even in a losing team Arsene Wenger maintained superiority over at least two competitors. But there had already begun a variety of advanced options, taking into account the outcome of a parallel match, so for them until we write.

The head coach of "Arsenal" Arsene Wenger after the match of the 5th round of the Champions League group stage with Dortmund, "Borussia" (2:1), noted game striker Robin van Persie, who has drawn up a double, and expressed admiration for the team performance in this segment tournament.

Robin - an exceptional player. And I'm happy that he can prove it in "Arsenal". He just needed to let play, and at the end of the season let's see what happens.


Overall I am very pleased with the performance team in Champions League group stage. We are in a very difficult group, but were able to get out of it for the tour to finish. This circumstance I am very proud "- quoted Wenger Sky Sports.

As the "SE", after a fire-show fansite bend "Zenith" during the match of the 5th round of the Champions League group stage with APOEL on "Petrovsky" (0:0), for which the meeting was interrupted in each half, Neva club may be punished by UEFA European Cup holding three home games without spectators. Blue, white and blue due to the inappropriate behavior of their fans in the past (in particular - a manifestation of racism) already has a suspended sentence with probation for two years. And because it is currently not expired, the penalty for violation of the new can be quite severe.


The probability that the nearest of the European Cup match in St. Petersburg will be held at the empty stands, is 99 percent (unless, of course, UEFA will not mitigate the sentence again.) Recall that after the game with Zenit APOEL secured access to the Spring European club stage, it remains to find out in the Champions League or Europa League will continue to address the team Luciano Spalletti.

After defeating the "Mestalla" unfortunate Belgian "Genk" (7:0), "Valencia" only one step away from the record stopped the Champions League. Biggest win in the group stage in sezone-2007/2008 befallen when the mother "Anfield" "Liverpool" dolt Turkish "Besiktas" - 8:0. Then another four pieces of Andriy Voronin scoring chances pass did what I ...


Previously met by 7-0 in the Champions League group three times. The initiative put "Juventus", crushed protasovsky "Olympiakos" and then "Arsenal" declassed Czech "Slavia", well, last season, "Marcel" not a stone was left of the Slovak "Zilina".


Well, "Genk" already "died" under the blows of the Spanish team - six unanswered goals sezone-2002/2003 its gates scored "Real". Ah, if Madrid is not relaxed on Tuesday, smashing Zagreb "Dinamo", stated we are now complete domination of Spanish teams in the field of major victories ...

The head coach, "Manchester City" Roberto Mancini said his team does not have enough experience to win the Champions League this season.

We hope that we can continue the performance in the Champions League. We need to win the "Bavaria" and hope for a draw in the match, "Villarreal" and "Napoli", - said Mancini.
