Another round of fixtures out of the way, we’ll soon clear out the trash and get down to business.
The image of the evening: Beşiktaş fans show what they think of Thierry Henry-loving ref Martin Hansson before their match against CSKA Moscow, which they would lose, no thanks to the ref, probably.
Wolfsburg 1 – 3 Manchester United
Lord Ferguson after Wolfsburg victory:
“Michael has improved steadily in training since joining us but, in some games recently, we’ve chosen to play just one central striker. We had a different system featuring two strikers tonight, Michael’s proved his worth in it and we’re delighted.”
Chelsea 2 – 2 APOEL Nicosia
Carlo Ancelotti:
“I spoke with the players at the end. It was the poorest we have played under me since I became manager. In the second half, we played badly. I don’t have a problem saying that. The first goal we conceded can happen. The second goal should not. That was a consequence of our own play. We played too softly. We had the possibility to close the game out, but we didn’t play well. Apoel deserved their draw.”
