The 2008 - 2009 UEFA Champions League was off to a flying start on Tuesday evening.Though most of the results were just as all of us expected it to be there were a few surprises. Being an ardent BPL fan I was a little disappointed with some of the results of the so called BIG FOUR.Chelsea were in breathtaking form as they destroyed Bordeux 4 - 0 with goals from Lampard, Joe Cole , Malouda and Anelka.It was a surprise that they were not able to score more.Liverpool on the other hand won 2 - 1 against Marseillle with their captain Gerrard helping himsef to two goals after going down early.The defending champions Manchester United were however held at home against Villareal.The only plus point for Sir Alex Ferguson would be that Ronaldo played his first game after the EUROS.Arsenal too drew their game against Kyiv(who have lost all their champions league matches in the last 2 seasons).However this time,in all fairness, Kyiv did play pretty well and luckily for Arsenal, Gallas was able to save their blushes with a goal in the 89th minute after going down in the 64th minute.
