I heard on CNN that Ronaldinho predicted that all 4 english teams (Man Utd, Arsenal, Chelsea, and Liverpool) would be booted out of the UEFA Champions League this week. All but Liverpool had goal deficits to overcome (Arsenal were 1-3 down, Chelsea 1-2 down, Man Utd 0-1 down, Liverpool 3-1).
Well, Ronaldinho didn't get it right. He scored twice against Chelsea but a late goal by John Terry put Chelsea ahead 5-4 on aggregate. Arsenal and Man Utd though were ousted.
But of course, the highlight (well, for me) was Liverpool's very convincing win over Bayern Leverkusen. After winning 3-1 at home in the first leg, they had to play Leverkusen in Germany. Despite this, they still managed to win, again with a score of 3-1 for a 6-2 aggregate win!!! Pretty damn good result, I say. =) Liverpool are now in the quartefinals of CL, the first time this has happened since I started watching football. Sana tuloy-tuloy na, but I guess the odds are stacked against them.
Real Madrid were also tossed out of the CL after a 0-2 loss to Juventus. Owen managed to get on the pitch when he substitued for Raul at the 96th minute (injury time). 96th minute!!! What did they expect him to do with barely any time left? Guess they don't seem to get the pattern that's been pretty obvious this season - no Owen, no win. Hehe, I'm ranting. Oh well.
Btw, Rob and Amber ended up placing first in this week's leg of the Amazing Race. Ugh.
