I decided to create this topic about the CL after reading the comments of Lucescu (coach of Donetsk) ... The guy seems to be fair play, saying that he didn't understand why the Roma fans whistled their own team, and that the players of Roma didn't deserve that because they played an amazing second half.
Of course, it's easy to be fair when you win, but it's rare to see such comments about the opponent, a coach defending the opponent whereas there is still a game to play between this opponent and his own team.
The contrary can be said for Barcelona for example, the Spanish seem to criticize the Italian referee (damn, it's really not the week of the Italians !!), you can read in the Spanish press that he is a friend of Mourinho for example ... I didn't really watched the Arsenal-Barcelona game (I mainly watched the other game), but I doubt the referee could have been worse than the one in our game against Tottenham !!
Anyway, these 1/8 finals seem polemical !!

One should not speak ill of the dead.
So stop laughing at Juventus !

) that would be an ideal scenario as well because ACM (Antonin/Zambr/Janku) won't have to face Messi & we will have an easier path to the final of the UCL
