Today’s big matchups proved to be well balanced as top contenders Man U, Chelsea, Real Madrid, and AC Milan each earned a point in their respective outings. Many expected that Real Madrid would emerge victorious after an embarrassing 4-0 defeat in La Liga last week. Kaka, Higuain, and Benzema all came out shooting for Madrid in the first half, which resulted in a goal from Benzema in the 29th minute. Los Merengues lost stride after a beautiful penalty kick from Ronaldinho brought the score level just a few minutes later.
The second half didn’t really amount to much and things drew to a close at 1-1. Milan remain at the top of the group, 1 point ahead of Real Madrid, while Marseilles finished in third after obliterating FC Zurich 6-1.
