Sports Thread #1 For 10/20/09: Barcelona And Liverpool Lose In A Exciting Pack Night In The Champions League

It was really the night of the little sides tonight in the Champions league. Boy, was it ever.

It wasn't a goodnight at all for British sides, as Arsenal get the only points of the night for the country, a 1-1 tie with Dutch champs AZ Alkmaar.

The beatdown of the round again involved Rangers. And they were the ones getting beat down again........at HOME. It's over for them most likely to advance to the knockout stages, as first team CL performer Unirea Urzicieni dominate Rangers at Ibrox 4-1 just like Sevilla did last time. Two own goals given up by Rangers spells total disaster for their side, and oculd send them out of Europe all together.

Lyon seemed to have performed the shock of the night, beating Liverpool at Anfield from 1-0 down in a 2-1 end result. More misery and fire for Rafa Bentiez to go through tonight.

But out of nowhere, Russian champs Rubiz Kazan proved how formidable they are by producing maybe the shock of the entire footballing year, going to Barcelona and knocking off the Catalan giants 2-1. Stunning.

And to cap off a great day for Eastern European sides, Dynamo Kiev got a solid point on the road at Inter Milan 2-2.

(More reviews to come.)
