Premier League teams are doing quite well in the Soccer Betting Champions League as Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea have all moved into the quarterfinals.  There could be a fourth Premier League team that makes the final eight as Liverpool holds a nice lead against Inter Milan heading into their second leg game next week. "What will be, will be," Chelsea’s Frank Lampard said. "If all four of us go through - and Liverpool are in a good position - there will be a great chance of an all-English match. It's obviously great for England if we're all in there but if we draw one we will have to deal with it." 

Wednesday’s Champions League games saw Chelsea defeating Olympiakos 3-0 while AS Roma eliminated Real Madrid 2-1 and Schalke beat FC Porto 4-1 on penalties after the teams went into extra time with the aggregate score tied at 1-1.  The loss by Real Madrid was a surprise as the Spanish champs were knocked out for the fourth straight season. Madrid had lost the first leg game 2-1 and needed a victory but couldn’t get it as Roma won 2-1 again.  Substitute Mirko Vucinic headed in the game winner in injury time to give Roma the 4-2 aggregate win. "Vucinic's entrance changed the game," Roma coach Luciano Spaletti said. "All of the subs who came in maintained the team's equilibrium and made important contributions. We controlled well and had better intentions about taking this game. And we responded to the challenge."

Frank Lampard was involved in all three goals as Chelsea routed Olympiakos 3-0.  He scored one and assisted on Michael Ballack and Salomon Kalou’s goals. Ballack opened the scoring in the 6th minute and then assisted on Lampard’s goal in the 25th minute. Kalou added the third goal in the 48th minute.

Schalke entered their second leg against Porto with a 1-0 lead from the first leg but in the 86th minute Lisandro Lopez scored for Porto.  The teams had to go to a shootout and Schalke goalkeeper Manuel Neuer was superb as he stopped Bruno Alves and Lopez.  Schalke scored on all four of their chances to win 4-1. 

Tuesday’s games had Manchester United defeating Lyon 1-0 and advancing 2-1 on aggregate, Arsenal dominated AC Milan 2-0 and advanced 2-0 on aggregate; Barcelona got by Celtic 1-0 and advanced 4-2 on aggregate and Fenerbahce beat Sevilla on penalties after the two teams finished 5-5 on aggregate. 

Next Tuesday it will be Liverpool facing Inter Milan in the second leg and Liverpool will take a two goal aggregate lead into the match. The quarterfinal draw for the Champions League is set for March 14th.
