Champions League Qualifying: This is It!
By: Rob | August 26th, 2008
So here it is comrades, the final hurdle before the Champions League gets underway properly. While some sides take big leads into the second legs and look all but through, it isn’t quite as easy for some of the other big names, and we might see at least one name fall at the first hurdle.
Juventus and Barcelona both go into thier second legs with 4-0 wins and are comfortably through really. Arsenal carry a 2-0 lead against Steve McClaren’s FC Twente, and I don’t see it being overturned. Fiorentina have a tricky game but also a 2-0 lead, which should see them through.
Despite doing so well last year though, Fenerbahce aren’t guarenteed of the group stage this time. They go into thier second leg with Partizan with a 2-2 draw at Half Time. Schalke’s tie with Athletico Madrid is still interesting with the Germans holding a slim 1-0 lead. Liverpool stuttered to a draw with Standard Leige, and will hope that Anfield will raise thier spirits enough to see them through.
