The clash of champions at San Siro ended in a goal-less draw and I am totally 100 percent okay with that. To be fair Barcelona had the better of the play and could have won, but they didn't. So there. It speaks to just how good they really are that the 4 time defending champion of Italy would clam up for 90 minutes and outright play for the tie at home. Balotelli only played 5 minutes at the end and kept himself out of the referee's book which is a good thing.
The rest of the matches went pretty much as you would expect. When someone tells me the group phase of the Champions League is boring and/or unwatchable I disagree and try to make the case for it, but eventually I am forced to admit it is a bit tedious. The one result that caught me a little by surprise was Rangers getting a point away to Stuttgart. I don't think this Rangers team is that good and will probably finish third behind Stuts and Sevilla.
