Spooky times on the CL (Day 3/Part 1)

Maybe the craziest day ever in the CL happened last night. I don’t recall ever seeing the majority of the hot favorites losing their winning pace in such a strong fashion. Maybe it’s magic from badabim-Kazan or ‘vampirean’ things from dark side Urziceni, whatever happened what a great night for football.
Barcelona’s lost their first game of the season against a pretty much unknown Russian champions Rubin Kazan at the Nou Camp. None off the English side’s were able to beat their opponents, with Liverpool being shocked at Anfield with a comeback victory 2-1 of Lyon, while the gunners achieved a not so bad 1-1 draw at AZ Alkmaar.

At Group E, Liverpool lost at home and to make things even odder, Italian side Fiorentina played a cool fashion football and scored four goals against three of home side Debreceni.

Group E:
Debreceni 3 – 4 Fiorentina
Liverpool 1 – 2 Lyon

Standings:
1 Lyon 9pts
2 Fiorentina 6pts
3 Liverpool 3pts
4 Debreceni 0pts

At Group F, if you think Barcelona’s lost is all the surprises you can get, well you’re wrong. Jose’s Mourinho Inter Milan was reduced to a two goal draw against Ukrainian side Dyn.Kiev.

Group F:
Barcelona 1 – 2 Rubin Kazan
Inter 2 – 2 Dyn.Kiev

Standings:
1 Barcelona 4pts
2 Dyn.Kiev 4pts

In G, while Rangers were being brutalized at Ibrox, German side Stuttgart was receiving the same kind of treatment at the feet’s of unbeatable CL side Sevilla.

Group G:
Rangers 1 – 4 Unirea Urziceni
Stuttgart 1 – 3 Sevilla

Standings:
1 Sevilla 9pts
2 Unirea 4pts
3 Stuttgart 2pts
4 Rangers 1pt

At H, well Arsenal was stopped in their winning ways in the CL, but they are still in front of the group. On the other game a late goal from Stoltidis give the Greeks from Olympiacos the second spot at half way thru.

AZ Alkmaar 1 – 1 Arsenal
Olympiacos 2 – 1 Standard Liege
