European round up

Champions league football is back! We all love that wonderful theme tune, and last night we were given some great football matches to go along with the return of footballs biggest competition.

Some brilliant goals to mention as well as results; first Cristiano Ronaldo's hat trick finished off with a tremendous solo run to cap off Real Madrid's demolishing of Galatasaray 1-6.

Another goal came from the game in Greece between Olympiakos and PSG, Weiss with a nutmeg and a shimmy to go round two defenders before slotting it home, sadly for him thats as good as it got with PSG going on to win 1-4.

Both Manchester clubs started with convincing wins, United beating Bayern Leverkusen 4-2, while City cleaned up in the Czech Republic 0-3.

Tonight Chelsea, Arsenal, and Celtic play. For me Chelsea have the easiest job at home to FC Basel and should win convincingly, Arsenal have a tough match against Marseille so while a win is not out of reach, a draw would also be a good away result. Celtic have the hardest task up against AC Milan away with the likes of Balotelli, would do very well to get anything from the San Siro.

As a Chelsea fan, I for one can't wait  for another European journey to begin!
