Champions League – Final Results

Hello again,

Well the Champions League competition for 3rd and 4th class came to a thrilling close last week here in BETNS. As always at the end of a sporting competition, there were some ecstatic children, and some very disappointed children. However, now that the dust has settled on it a little, I think all the children will look back on it and realise what great fun and enjoyment they had during the competition.

Here were the final results:

Borussia Dortmund 0 – 1 Bayern Munich

Man City 0 – 1 Real Madrid

PSG 1 – 3 Benfica

As you can see, there was very little between the teams in any of the games. The first game was between Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich. This was the final for 3rd place teams and a Martins Okojie goal won the game for Bayern Munich.

The final for 2nd place teams saw Man City take on the might of Real Madrid. This was very tight and it looked destined to be heading for a penalty shoot-out until  Gordon Tuffour popped up with a wonder goal in the final minute. It was suitable that such a fine goal decided a fine game.

In the final for 1st place teams, the standard of play was very high from everyone involved. Alamin Olaosebikan scored a terrific hatrick for Benfica, while David Tashi scored for PSG to keep them in the game.

Well done to everybody who took part in the competition. There was some brilliant football, tense games, plenty of drama, lots of goals, penalty shoot outs. Most importantly, the games were played in a competitive but very sporting manner.

Slán go fóill – John, James and Stephen.

Champions League – Day 6 Results

Hello again,

Today was Day 6 of the BETNS Champions League competition. Some of the most prestigious names from European football were in action. Here were today’s fixtures and results:

Real Madrid 2 – 1 Chelsea

Barcelona 0 – 2 Benfica

Man United 2 – 2 PSG (PSG won 2-1 on penalties)

Real Madrid and Chelsea served up a thrilling game in our opening fixture. It was end to end action and only one goal separated the two teams at the end. Real Madrid will go on to face Man City in the final for 2nd place teams. In today’s second game, Benfica managed to overcome the might of Barcelona. While in the third game today, Man United and PSG drew with two goals each. This meant a penalty shoot out had to decide a winner. With PSG 2-1 ahead in the penalty shoot out, the cross bar blocked Man United’s third penalty, sending PSG through to the final for first place teams to meet Benfica.

Final games will be played next Monday, 24th March. Here are the fixtures.

3rd Place Final: Borussia Dortmund v Bayern Munich

2nd Place Final: Man City v Real Madrid

Good luck to all those children taking part next week.
