UEFA Champions League - 2nd Matchday

The Best
The Great Teams
The Champions! 

Today is the 2nd matchday for 2010 UEFA Champions League. There will be a matches from groups A through D tonite, Malaysia time, which will consist 8 matches. But the big clash are between Inter Milan v Werder Bremen, Valencia v Manchester United, Schalke 04 v Benfica, Rubin Kazan v Barcelona.

For Malaysian supporter, AstRO will have a live broadcast for 2 matches; Valencia CF vs Manchester United (ESPN, Channel 812) and also Inter Milan vs SV Werder Bremen (Star Sport Channel 813). Both matches will kick-off at 2.40 am Malaysian time.

The game between Man U and Valencia has a mind game inside of it. Sir Alex chose not to bring Wayne Rooney to Valencia, and considering the way Berbatov has been playing. The Bulgarian has finally found his touch that made him so popular at Spurs. Valencia will be high on confidence after they beat Bursaspor 4-0. Valencia is having a dream start to the La Liga season and is sitting in first after picking up 13 points from their opening five fixtures.

On the other hand, Inter Milan hold the title and will not give it up without a fight. They are sitting on top of the Serie A table despite a loss by a late goal against Roma on the weekend. They look like the exact same team from last year, apart from the gaffer. Inter wrote themselves off last time out against FC Twente. Bremen, on the other hand, haven't had the brightest start in the league, but managed to pull a draw out of the flames to a confident Spurs side. Bremen has a solid base with Per Mertesacker and Mikaël Silvestre as their central defenders.

I'll bet that Malaysian Man U die hard fans will stay back tonite to watch their team played. Mostly they will have panda eyes (cause of sleeping very late) on the next morning.. Hehehe..

After both of the live telecast between the two team, ASTRO do provide delayed matches between Tottenham Hotspur vs Twente and Schalke vs SL Benfica.

Eat football, sleep football..
