Oh they'll roar through the group and then get beaten comfortably in the knock out stage, as usual.
They're not the old perennial 4th place finishing Arsenal though.

Though they are, despite only dropping 2pts so far, currently sitting in 4th. :tongue:

So they will advance at least to the quarters. Probably they will both win their groups.

Good match from Braga, good football, good chances, huge mistakes also but huge change from what we have saw from domestic matches.
We still might get off with 0-0-6 but tonight we go home with head up.

Starting with a 1-1 draw is still better than starting with a 0-4 defeat. :wink:

Only one big surprise Benfica's home loss to Salzburg. Galatasaray's and Sevilla's home draws only minor upsets, everything else is paperform.

Starting away at Arsenal is different to starting at home to Lens :wink:

I did not see the game. Napoli fans are very unhappy with the performance, despite the win.

Chaotic, but entertaining game in Munich. As Polak said, Bayern should have scored much more, while United were very effective in the 2nd half. Every little chance was a goal.

I would have cheered for Braga if it wasn't the group with Union who probably fight for the 3rd place with them. Even though Napoli seems to be weaker under Garcia, so who knows.

Typical Inter, they'll sneak their way through the group and then get the easiest possible draws again in the KO stage.

I doubt that Benfica would have lost a home game to Salzburg with 11 vs 11. What a luxury to play against 10 men the whole game. Even more interesting group now, Real Sociedad also looked better than I thought.

They were not superior to Braga. Was an even game. I think 1-1 was the best result. The 2nd goal was a collection of mistakes.
And Napoli was neve underwhelming. They were more physical and dangerous on corners and free kicks, had good chances but wasn't a one way game as expected, especially after getting the lead.

This Napoli looks a shadow of past season. Rudi Garci was in Saudi Arabi. I don't think he is good enough to be chosen to manage the italian champion.

Typical = last year? 'Cause before that, we reached the RO16 only once out of 4 times and we got Liverpool :grin1:

Btw, good results both in San Sebastián (lucky draw, and 2 pts dropped by la Real) and in Lisboa (no win for Benfica, Antonio Silva dsq in San Siro). It's still a group we can realistically top as well as finish 3rd...
