1st half UCL review

The first half of the champions league has finished with some surprising results. The most anticipated game was Real Madrid vs Manchester United. The game ended 1-1 with Ronaldo and Welbeck getting on the score sheet. It was intense match but everyone expected a win for Real Madrid because of their home advantage. Manchester United drew first blood with a headed goal from Danny Welbeck. A corner was whipped in by Wayne Rooney and Welbeck, who was marked by Sergio Ramos.Welbeck jumped highest and headed home. Later in the game a cross from Di Maria which found Ronaldo, who was marked by Evra. Ronaldo towered high and headed a powerful one into the goal of the superb De Gea. Evra didnt jump for the ball which left Ronaldo to jump with ease. An excellent performance from De Gea and Ozil of Real Madrid. PSG beat Valencia at the Mestalla stadium in Spain, 2-1. Goals from Lavezzi and fellow country men Javier Pastore. Zlatan Ibrahimovic got sent of in the 89' minute for being too aggressive and Rami scored in the following corner. PSG will be without the inspirational Ibra for the second leg. 

The other match up saw Borussia Dortmund face Shakter Donetsk at the Donbass Arena in Ukraine. The scoring was opened with a marvelous free-kick from Rat. Then Dortmund equalized with Robert Lewandowski. Shakter scored again with substitute Douglas Costa and Hummels equalized at the 90' for Dortmund. An interesting game but should be a tight math at theSignal Iduna Park. Juventus saw off Celtic with a comprehensive 3-0 win with goals from Matri, Marchisio and Vucinic. It was a tight game and there was a lot tugging shirts from the Juventus side but Juventus deservingly won the game. An interesting week and next week should have some amazing matches
