Champions League action - watched Arsenal take apart Galatasaray last night on the DVR. Maybe Wenger has hit on the right mix up front - Ozil in the hole, Sanchez on the left wing and Welbeck up front. Their interchange was very fluid against a team known for stout defense (and with two terrific attackers in Yilmaz and Pandev).
Chelsea spurned so many chances to put away Sporting Lisbon. Their first half display was outstanding. Second half was a little sluggish, but the defense tightened up nicely at the end with the introduction of John Obi Mikel for Oscar. Mikel is becoming almost like Chelsea' "closer", introduced in the last 10 or 20 minutes to shut down the opposing attack.
I am one of the few people who picked PSG over Barca in the ESPN Fantasy Football game for Champions League - and I did it before Ibra was announced as being out injured. Huge win for PSG and I am happy for a small measure of redemption for David Luiz. He got torched in the World Cup, of course, and has not gotten off to a great start at PSG. But the other night, he bossed the game. I always liked his "never say die" attitude. He seems like a great guy, so I'm happy for him. Big night for Paris. He really won over the fans with his display, including that brilliant first goal.
