each, ranging from all over Europe. Manchester City v Read Madrid was
one that no doubt created excitement when the draw was released, with
the game certainty living up to expectation. Manchester City traveled to
Spain, following a 1-1 draw at the hands of Stoke City in the EPL, but
the main focus was getting their European campaign off to a good start.
Opposite end Real Madrid has started their domestic competition in a
slow fashion, but usually thrive in Europe. After 90 minutes, Real
Madrid stole the victory in the 90th minute thanks to a Christiano
Ronlado strike , winning 3-2. A great spectacle for a football fan.

AC Milan continue to struggle this season,
with a poor 0-0 draw with Anderlecht. The lack of depth in the milan club is worrying signs for the remainder of the year, the departure of key players and with no real big signings, things could get alot worse for the once powerhouse of European football. PSG welcomed European football
with a bang, 4-1 victors Dynamo Kyiv, with high expectations on the club
following a spending spree in the off season, welcoming the likes of
Thiago Silva and Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Elsewhere german side Bayern Munch welcomed Valencia, and sealed a 2-1 side over the spanish side, continuing their unbeaten start in all games this season.

welcomed Italian champions Juventus to Stamford bridge, getting off to a
