CHAMPIONS LEAGUE CRAZINESS

[jenni_blog]

In which the two Manchester teams do NOT go through to the knockout stages, Arsenal and Chelsea are the only two English teams to advance, and Benfica, not Porto, make it through to the next round.

Here are only a few of my favourite pictures:

Sweet Baby James of Porto cannot believe it.

I should add that Napoli has gone through to the knockout rounds as well. :)









A Napoli fan. My god, I was there on those streets two and a half years ago!



Okay, that's all I've got from this week's matches. :) Good luck to my favourite teams!

It's funny, because I had booked us to go to Naples from Munich, but a hotel waiter in Munich whom we met and who was from Naples told us it wasn't safe there and warned us not to go anywhere alone. On the taxi ride from the airport to our hotel, we passed the stadium and I took a picture of it. It's a very scary-looking place. O_O So we never went to the match there. :(

I was surprised to find that 3 Italian teams have moved on in the CL, compared to 2 English teams!

Darn, no. The Real Madrid game was on while I was still at work, so I didn't see it, unfortunately. :(
