UEFA Champions League Matchday 2: Barcelona face Werder Bremen
If reigning UEFA Champions League champions Barcelona achieved high marks for their 5-0 defeat of PFC Levski Sofia on 12 September, Werder Bremen probably left Chelsea FC feeling they could have done better. They get their chance at home to Barça on Wednesday evening.
Levski continue their tough introduction to the UEFA Champions League with Chelsea’s Group A trip to Bulgaria. Bayern scored four on Matchday 1, the same tally as Steaua’s, and one more and less than Manchester United and Barcelona respectively.
FC Internazionale Milano should prove less porous opposition at the Giuseppe Meazza than FC Spartak Moskva did in Bavaria. Spartak have room for improvement against Sporting Clube de Portugal in Group B’s other match.
Group C offered an antidote to the general wrecking of defences with two goalless draws, so the four contenders will be keen to claim more than just a share of the spoils in the second round of fixtures.
FC Girondins de Bordeaux and PSV Eindhoven meet in France; Liverpool FC and Galatasaray SK test their mettle on Merseyside. That leaves Group D where the two losing teams from a fortnight ago, FC Shakhtar Donetsk and Olympiacos CFP, attempt to open their accounts, while the victorious Valencia CF and AS Roma hope for a second windfall.
