Champions League Roundup

       Currently the best team in England and they could not beat Napoli. That is just insane. Manchester City can't seem to perform in Europe because they have been subpar in the Champions League. It seems as if they won't even make it to the knockout round. Only if Napoli ties or loses to Villareal and Manchester City wins over Bayern Munich will Manchester City be able to advance. Sorry Roberto Mancini, you didn't do a good enough job. In other Champions League news, Inter has clinched first place in their group with a comfortable win over Trabzonspor, who is currently in second, 1 point ahead of Lille and CSKA Moscow. In that group I think Lille will make it because they are going head to head with Trabzonspor at home while CSKA Moscow is at San Siro. In Group C Manchester United is ahead of Benfica on goal differential. FC Basel is behind both of them by 1 point. I'm going to say that Benfica is finishing in first, facing Otelul in their final match while I think Man U will finish second by tying Basel. Remember, Man U is without Rooney and haven't been in great form. Group D is all Real Madrid and Ajax there are no ifs, ands, ors or buts. Group E I think will be Chelsea on top despite their recent poor form and Valencia in second. Valencia played well against Real the other night and are looking good. Group F I think is Arsenal then Marseille seeing that Arsenal beat Marseille in the 1st fixture. In Group G Apoel Nicosia has played great football and Porto have choked. I think Apoel will finish (dare I say it) 1st and Zenit St. Petersburg second. In Group H it's Barcelona and then AC Milan, Barcelona should've won the first game anyways.
