Last night is a horrible dream to league leaders.
Spain league leader - Barcelona OUT
Italy league leader - Inter Milan OUT
France league leader - Lyon OUT
Germany league leader - Werder Bremen out in early group
England league leader - Man Utd ???
Why all top 5 league leaders can't perform well in champion league?

Porto, Liverpool,Barca............. you see anything????
Well, all of these teams have got big managers even if their respective teams can be termed as "small"
Also, if we see the group stages we see that every big team has seen another big one as opposition and the confrontation has resulted as either a stalemate or a small victory.........
And in this round the so-called "underdogs" are playing without any pressure and teams like ManU have to look for a controversial goal to win their game.
The game between Roma and Lyon has me saying that Lyon is smaller than Roma no matter the titles won in their national League as their squads have got enough to be equal if not bigger than Lyon.
If the "underdogs" are making it big, it is (at least for me) the big footballing mind that their respective managers have got.

Well, it's a shame that most of the top teams are out but i think it is a healthy trend to see the underdogs overturn the results. To me, this year has to be one of the exciting champions league i have watch as every club in this competition has a chance to lift that trophy after Barca has crashed out.
One of the reason why the top clubs are out is which i can think of is they have only a couple of days to rest after a hard fought match in their local leagues. Sometimes when reaching this stage of the tournament they have physically drained out

Their players r probably too tired or they don't deserve to be league leaders. haha. this is the champions league man. Surprises all the way. Remember PORTO in 2004 n Liverpool in 2005 winning the coveted trophy against all odds?

Barcelona and Inter Milan were a little too cocky and overconfident.
Lyon wins the French League every year. They have Real Madrid's number (jinx or something). Other than that they can't beat any decent team.

They don't deserve to lead the league anyway. And Spain's league leader is now Sevilla.

England league leader is Liverpool not Man Utd.
This is Football. What were you looking for if you don't expect them to surprise you with these results.
