I missed the stars

Oh, I missed them. Unfortunately, I could not watch the second leg matches.
Here however is a small review.

1. Barcelons vs Chelsea ->
This was the most controversy ridden match of this round. Chelsea took the lead in the first half, through a Barcelona own goal. Quite surprising. The game ended 2-1 in favour of Barcelona (my prediction was bang on target), and I still predict Chelsea winning at home, and going through. Chelsea got a crucial away goal and that may just decide this draw.

2. Werderbremen vs Lyon ->
Well, well, well. No one expected Lyon to go to Germany and do so exceedingly well. Somehow they managed to thrash the reigning BundasLiga champions 0-3. Lyon will definitely go through, but I hope Bremen puts up more of a fight.

3. Porto vs Inter Milan ->
No surprises here. Again, my prediction was on the mark. Inter Milan showed their form of this season, going ahead early in the match and then giving a goal away to draw the match. They sure do utilise their immense talent! Dont know what to expect in the return leg, because Inter at home is as good as Inter away from home. If Porto plays well enough, they could go through.

4. Manchester United vs A.C. Milan ->
4. Manchester United vs A.C. Milan ->The defense got the better of the attack. Milan's defensive wall, proved too much for Manchester United's attack. Milan winning 0-1 away from home is a fabulous result. Now Manchester United face the uphill task of going away to Milan and winning, and boy is that tough. Now definitely, Milan are the favourites, and with Shevshenko playing in the second leg, things seem very dim for United.
