There was still much to be decided going into the final match day in the Champions League group stage. Despite the obvious tension in many of the match ups, their were virtually no surprising results. Liverpool cruised past Marseille—apparently the reds have decided the Champions League is the one they want. Elsewhere, Schalke dumped Rosenborg, to claim the spot behind Chelsea, Olympiacos qualified, and will surely be one of the weaker teams in the next round, along with Fenerbahce, who sailed past CSKA to claim the second spot behind Inter.
And lastly, in Scotland, the score line certainly flattered Lyon, where unfortunate Rangers let their nerves get the better of them during the first half and handed Lyon the lead. Despite their flowing play and great spans of possession in the second half, they just did not have the quality (or perhaps the composure) to find the final ball they needed to bag a goal and eventually Lyon ran away with the match.
