Thanks for dropping by, John.

I was disappointed with Porto's lack of fight. They gave up too easily.

But I expect a positive and powerful show from Atletico Madrid tonight. Aguero is quite simply magical and it would be interesting to see if he can add to his goal tally - I doubt Marseille has anything to offer in resistance - they looked quite impotent up front.

Messi and co. should not have too much of a problem either, unless they start defending recklessly again. And I'd like to see Zanetti leading Inter once again, the guy is pure class and without him, Inter usually struggles.

And my preview is up :P

Thanks for reading my blog. I predict a great match in which Atleti will whoop Marseille senseless. I actually predict another large scoreline as we will be on fire.

On the Albiceleste side of things, Kun will have a great match (you have my word on it) as he's a tricky player that can expose through the cracks of any defense. Marseille may try to move up players to enhance the attack but will make the back a bit weaker. Leo Franco may be the starting keeper for the match and Maxi will be very important as both the captain and a part of the midfield.

Aupa Atleti!

Hi, John. Thanks for visiting my blog.

In terms of Albicelestes in Atleti, Kun didn't have a particularly good game against Sevilla last weekend, but I hope that he bags a few goals against Marseille in Match Day 2!

Martin DEMICHELIS perhaps had a night to forget after scoring an own goal in Bayern's encounter against Lyon. The match ended in 1-1 draw.

Carlos TEVEZ was brought in the second half for Wayne ROONEY in Man United's 3-0 win over Aalborg. In Villareal 1-0 win over Celtic, Gonzalo was the cornerstone in the Yellow Submarine's defense. Ariel IBAGAZA came in the second half for Giuseppe ROSSI.

At the Emirates, Lucho GONZALEZ was left to start from the bench as the Gunners hammered the Dragons 4-0. Lisandro LOPES and Tomas COSTA were in the starting line up.

Gonzalo HIGUAIN and Gabriel HEINZE were both starters for Real Madrid as they defeated UEFA Cup holders Zenit St Petersburg 2-1. Javier SAVIOLA came in the 88th minute for HIGUAIN. While Alejandro DOMINGUEZ was brought in for Zenit in the 73rd minute.

More action coming up today.
