Champions League Action

So far this week there has been a few UEFA Champion's League games, including Arsenal vs. Montpellier and  Real Madrid vs. Manchester City .

Arsenal started off really bad against Montpellier when Thomas Vemaelen took down a player just inside the box. The foul might have been outside the box and it might have not even been a foul and at all. But the ref called it and Montpellier took advantage, taking the lead 1-0. The rest of the first half was all Arsenal from there on. Podolski scored his first Champion's League goal for Arsenal and his third of the season. Then Gervinho scored to put Arsenal up 2-1. The second half was opposite from the first half because Montpellier had most of the controll, but could not make anything out of their chances. Arsenal wins 2-1.

Real Madrid vs. Man City was a great game. There was 5 goals scored in the game and all of them came in the second half. City struck first with Dzeko. Then just about 7 minutes later Marcelo scored a deflected shot to tie it up. Then Man City got a free kick from a kind of weird angle which Kolarov crossed into the middle. The ball missed everybody including the Madrid keeper and that gave City the lead once again. But the sub Benzema took two nice touches around a defender after recieving a pass and scored with a great finish. 2-2 was now the score and it looked like a tie was brewing, but Ronaldo got the ball and dipped it under Joe Hart then it bounced into the goal. It was a skillful strike. Madrid wins 3-2.
