I think Chelsea vs Esperance, Chelsea will win.
What about Inter v River Plate? the odds River Plate to win is juicy, @4.35, I think Inter might not qualify.
I don't think that the players don't give the right importance to this tournament, we are talking about a competition of great economic interest, it cannot be snubbed so easily.
I feel sorry for Porto, but they were not up to the task, this was a match that had to be won at all costs but they failed to do so and it cost them elimination. But the most disappointed are the Atletico Madrid players who, despite 2 victories and 6 points in the standings, have to say goodbye to the competition due to goal difference. They were so close to qualifying! They only needed one goal to advance, but that wasn't the case. What a shame!
Are you sure they only need one goal to advance? if they won with 2 goals, it should be a tie because they will have a same point with Botafogo RJ.
I agree Atletico Madrid do give what their best to win, they always use their main lineup no matter who they met. It's a fair competition, so we now know if Brazilian teams have a similar quality like top European teams.
