Real Madrid lost 2-1 to Manchester City at home, so it ended just as I expected.
I can't say the match was of very high quality because I don't think it was an enjoyable game.
With this defeat, the question marks surrounding Xabi Alonso at Real Madrid have increased even more.

Another match that caught my attention was Borussia Dortmund vs. Bodo Glimt.
Even though Dortmund took the lead twice, Bodo Glimt managed to equalize the match and secured a point in a tough away game like Dortmund.
