Today's fixtures produced some truly lackluster soccer. The game featured on ESPN displayed a dull game between Liverpool and Marseilles. The game seemed destined to be a scoreless draw as neither team looked dangerous or even remotely interested in attacking. The only point of interest was when Valbuena scored the game's only goal with a delightful shot that left Reina frozen on the line. Liverpool was completely flat and couldn't even come close to finding a response. Looks like Benitez needs a new rotation.
In other action, Chelsea came from behind to beat Valencia, which must be an enormous relief to Avram Grant, whose days at Chelsea are surely numbered. Real Madrid failed to hold their lead twice as they settled for a draw versus Lazio. And lastly, the shock result of the day came at Parkhead, where Celtic scored a late winner to claim all the points against AC Milan. The game will be remembered, however, for an altercation between a fan and Milan keeper Dida. Although I haven't seen the replay, I get the sense that the injuries sustained by Dida will not leave any permanent scars; guess the Scots just can't compete with the Italians for fan violence...
