Full time

Thats a pretty good result from Sevilla, my early tips for the away legs ...

Might be crazy tipping this, but I reckon Arsenal can score at the San Siro and come away with a win or draw, giving them enough to advance to the quarters - 2-1 Arsenal win.

Think the task is too great for Celtic and Barcelona will advance courtesy of a 3-nil win (hope I'm wrong).

I'll take a stab on Sevilla at home winning 2-1 and making it through on GD.

Man U looking in hot form at the moment and surely too much firepower at OT .. Can see at least a 3-nil coming up.

In the other group I reckon:

Real Madrid 2 Roma 0
Chelsea 2 Olympiakos 1
Inter Milan 2 Liverpool 0
Porto 2 Schalke 1

ABERDEEN travelling to BAYERN MUNICH

this could be interesting..........

Bayern could hammer the dons and slot 3,4 or 5 past, or it could be a dour struggle..........

Rangers away to PANATHINAIKOS are currently 1-0 down after 30 mins

GERS got a equalizer to level at 1-1 and go through on away goals

the mighty dons slotted 1 past KAHN but they let 5 in themselves!!!!!

Current

Atletico Madrid 0-0 Bolton (Agg: 0-1)
Tottenham 1-1 Slavia Prague (Agg: 3-2)
Everton 2-0 SK Brann (Agg: 4-0)

RESULTS:
Bayern Munich 5-1 Aberdeen (Agg: 7-3)

Panathinaikos 1-1 Rangers (Agg: 1-1)
Rangers win on the away goals rule

Good work Smithy. I thought I was the only sucker following the Mickey Mouse Europe!!
Zenit (ag) 2-2 Villarreal
Galatasaray 1-5 Leverkusen
AEK 1-4 Getafe
Brann 1-8 Everton
Bremen 4-0 Braga
Marseille 3-2 Spartak Moskva
PSV 4-1 Helsingborg
Anderlecht 3-2 Bordeaux
Rangers (ag) 1-1 Panathinaikos
Sporting 5-0 Basel
Aberdeen 3-7 Bayern
Zürich 1-3 Hamburg
Rosenborg 1-3 Fiorentina
Slavia 2-3 Tottenham
Bolton 1-0 Atlético
Benfica 3-2 Nürnberg

Good result for Bolton and Rangers.

Spurs were pretty ordinary, but progressing to the last 16 is all that matters really.

2007/08 UEFA Cup Round of 16, my tips in bold

RSC Anderlecht (BEL) v FC Bayern München (GER)
Rangers FC (SCO) v Werder Bremen (GER)
Bolton Wanderers FC (ENG) v Sporting Clube de Portugal (POR)
Bayer 04 Leverkusen (GER) v Hamburger SV (GER)
Getafe CF (ESP) v SL Benfica (POR)
ACF Fiorentina (ITA) v Everton FC (ENG)
Tottenham Hotspur FC (ENG) v PSV Eindhoven (NED)
Olympique de Marseille (FRA) v FC Zenit St. Petersburg (RUS)

4 sides will depart the UCL tonight. At half time, scores are:

AC Milan 0-0 Arsenal - Arsenal are DOMINATING Milan. Had all the play and countless chances. It's all set up for AC Milan to take one chance and deny Arsenal despite their dominance - watch it happen!

Barcelona 1-0 Celtic - Barca scored on 3 minutes. Tough ask for Celtic to come back from here. Srtachan left Scott McDonald on the bench to start the game, despite him being Celtic's leading scored this season and despite needing to score at least 2 goals to progress.

Sevilla 3-1 Fenerbahce - 2 absolute howlers from the Turkish sides keeper had them in deep trouble after 9 minutes. However, Fenerbache have fought back and now just need a goal in the second half to force extra time and a crack at progressing. Great game to watch so far.

Man Utd 1-0 Lyon - Surprise, surprise, Ronnie has stepped up and in all probablility put Manure through. It was a bit of a scrappy goal, but it's Ronaldo's 30th in his last 30 games, which is nothing short of freakish.

I'd say those to progress:

AC Milan
Barca
Seville
Man Utd

82 mins gone, still 0 - 0 at the san siro.

Goal to Arsenal. Ces Fabregas scores a screamer after 84 mins.

Milan 0 - 1 Arsenal.

No more than the gunners have deserved. Arsenal are on the verge of being the 1st English team to win at the San Siro. Milan have to score twice due to the away goals rule.

Seville 3 - 2 Fenerbache. 5-5 on aggregate and heading for extra time.

Awesome, awesome strike by Fabregas puts Le Arse 1-0 up and through to the last 8. Kalac was slow to react and some piss poor defending by AC Milan allowed Fabregas to have a ping. Great goal.

It's now 5-5 aggregate in Seville.
