Sixteen teams qualified for the next stage in Champions League Tournament. The top two eams from each group go into the first knockout round in the spring.
In Group A Bordeax won the 1st place and Bayern Munich qualified as a second team. Juventus finished only 2 points after Bayern Munich. Maccabi HaifaŠ¼, as everyone expected, failed totally.
Group B was more interesting. CSKA Moscow surprisingly qualified for the next round along with Manchester United. Wolfsburg and Besiktas also played some really good matches and finish with 7 and 4 points each.
In Group C the favourites Real Madrid and Milan finish on the top but they both had a lot of weak and unconvincing plays so the the group was undecied until the last matches.
In Group D Chelsea and Porto showed great form and totally dominated over the other two teams Atletico Madrid and Apoel. Chelsea will be one of the top candidates for the Cup this year, that's for sure.
Group E was most surprising for me. Fiorentina and Lion qualified,but one of the two teams at the bottom was...Liverpool. Liverpool is in weak form in Premiership, that's right, but they always play well in Champions League. Well, that year was not like that. They fail both in Premiership and the League and I think all Liverpool fans want to forget about this year's performance as soon as possible.
Group F: Barca and Inter qualified in this group, but Rubin and Dinamo played attractive football and win some points, too.
Group G: 1st place for Sevilla and 2nd for Stuttgart. It was a great battle between the German team and Unirea for the 2nd place.The Romanian team was definite one of the surprises in this year's competition.
In Group H Arsenal and Olympiacos played good games and took their games without too much effort.
