Really impressed with Swansea's performance tonight against Napoli. Took the game to them, especially in the first half, and created a number of really good chances in which they should have scored from. They really should have but 0-0 still isn't exactly a bad result. A score draw will do for them in Italy next week. As for Napoli, they played like a typical Benitez team tonight. Rather uninspiring despite the quality in their starting XI.

None of the Premier League teams won in Europe this week. Four played, 1 draw and 3 losses with none of them scoring. Somewhat shocking. And 20 European matches (Champions League and Europa League) played this week and there have been 10 away wins, 8 draws and only 2 home wins.

Also, there were two cracking goals tonight.

Soriano for RB Salzburg against Ajax (can't believe they won 3-0!)...

And Quaresma (remember him?) for Porto against Eintracht Frankfurt...

Trust me - if you know how much Red Bull Salzburg have been spending you won't be shocked :) I lived there fr 2 years and saw some of the players coming in on massive salaries!!! I was speaking to the old German legend Lothar Matthias about it in a bar :)

:o:blink:

Still though, one would have expected better from Ajax. To lose 3-0 at home like is just embarrassing.

That's benitez for you. Teams like southampton were dominating us more times than I hoped for but we then come up with 8-0 against astonvilla on another day

Pellemuppet "The referee decided the game. He was on Barcelona's side from the beginning until the end."

Well Pellegrini getting charged by UEFA despite him apologizing.

No one gets away from UEFA!
