Review


Real Madrid thrashed Ajax in Holland by 4 goals to knock them out of the Champions League. Real have been in incredible form lately and scoring goals hasn't been a problem for Mourinho's players. The match did end with 9 players on Madrid's side as both Xabi Alonso and Sergio Ramos were given their marching orders after two bookable offences.

Arsenal could not shake off their weekend defeat in the Premier League and continued their disappointing form by losing to Braga. Arsenal now have to win their next game at the Emirates against Partizan or risk being knocked in the group stages.

Roma put up quite a comeback to win 3-2 against Bayern Munich after they were trailing the German Champions 2-0. Captain Francesco Totti hit the winner from the penalty spot after De Rossi leveled the scoreline. For Bayern Munich a defeat does not make that much of a difference as they were already confirmed as group leaders and going on the next round.
