Real Madrid, AC Milan and Bayern Munich clinched their places in the next round of the Champions League on Tuesday.
The trio, European champions a total 20 times between them, advanced alongside CSKA Moscow after their final group matches.
Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice to help record nine-time European champion Madrid win 3-1 at Marseille and take Group C from Milan, which needed a penalty by Ronaldinho to equalize for a 1-1 draw at FC Zurich.
Bayern advanced behind already-qualified Bordeaux in Group A with a 4-1 win at Juventus that eliminated the Italian side, while CSKA Moscow won 2-1 at Besiktas.
Michael Owen scored a hat trick to give Manchester United a 3-1 win at Wolfsburg to take first place in Group B from CSKA and knock out its opponent. But CSKA's place may be in doubt after UEFA said two of the Russian team's players failed doping tests after a 3-3 draw against Manchester United last month.
UEFA will announce the result of its investigation on Dec. 17, the day before the draw for the next stage.
Ronaldo put Madrid ahead in the fifth minute with a 30-meter (yard) free kick before Marseille playmaker Lucho Gonzalez leveled from close range in the 11th.
Madrid defender Raul Albiol scored in the 60th and Ronaldo rounded off the scoring 10 minutes before the end following a mistake by Marseille goalkeeper Steve Mandanda.
Madrid finished with 13 points, four more than Milan, which trailed until the 64th minute in Switzerland.
Zurich dominated much of the first half and led through Milan Gajic's 29th-minute free kick from 25 yards (meters).
Milan was in real danger of missing out on the next round but Zurich defender Alain Rochat was sent of for a foul on Marco Borriello and Ronaldinho scored the resulting penalty.
Juventus looked to be on course for the next round when David Trezeguet put the Italian side ahead in the 19th, but Bayern got back in the match with a 30th-minute penalty by Joerg Butt - the goalkeeper's third in the Champions League.
Ivica Olic put Bayern ahead six minutes after halftime. Mario Gomez and substitute Anatoliy Tymoshchuk scored in the last seven minutes.
Bordeaux, which won 1-0 at Maccabi Haifa, won Group A with 16 points. Bayern was next with 10 points, while Juventus will play in the Europa League after finishing third with eight.
Maccabi Haifa became the first team to be eliminated from the Champions League without winning a point or scoring a goal.
Group D had already been settled before Tuesday.
First-place Chelsea conceded an 87th-minute equalizer to draw 2-2 with APOEL Nicosia, losing midfielder Michael Essien in the process to what appeared to be a hamstring injury.
FC Porto won 3-0 at Atletico Madrid, which ended even with APOEL on three points but advanced courtesy of the away goal in scored against the Cypriot side.
The final four places will be decided Wednesday. Barcelona, Inter Milan, Rubin Kazan and Dynamo Kiev can all advance from Group F, Unirea Urziceni and Stuttgart are vying to advance from Group G alongside Sevilla, and Olympiakos and Standard Liege are fighting for second place in Group H behind Arsenal.
Fiorentina and Lyon have already secured the top two Group E spots, with the final positions to be decided Wednesday when Fiorentina goes to Europa League qualifier Liverpool and Lyon is at last-place Debrecen.

Juve Kalahkan Inter 2-1, Perebutan Scudetto Makin Menarik
2 Juventus v Inter Milan 1
TURIN - Bentrok Juventus kontra Inter Milan kemarin dini hari WIB (6/12) di Stadion Olimpico, Turin, benar-benar menghibur. Selain sama-sama mencetak gol, pemain kedua tim menyajikan "hiburan" yang lain. Beberapa kali terjadi benturan antar pemain yang memaksa wasit Massimiliano Saccani mengeluarkan delapan kartu kuning dan satu kartu merah.
Insiden paling seru terjadi pada menit ke-87. Kejadian bermula dari tindakan kasar pemain Juve Felipe Melo yang mengasari penyerang Inter Mario Balotelli. Peristiwa tersebut memancing emosi pemain lain.
Kiper Juve Gianluigi Buffon bersitegang dengan gelandang Inter Thiago Motta. Perseteruan itu juga melibatkan Martin Caceres (Juve) dan Walter Samuel (Inter).
Di luar lapangan, situasi ikut panas. Bahkan, pelatih Inter Jose Mourinho harus meninggalkan bangku cadangan karena diganjar kartu merah. Bentrok dua tim terbaik di Italia tersebut akhirnya dimenangi Juve dengan skor 2-1.
Melo membawa tuan rumah unggul dulu lewat golnya pada menit ke-20. Tapi, Inter membalas melalui tandukan Samuel Eto'o hanya enam menit berselang. Kemenangan Nyonya Tua -julukan Juventus- ditentukan oleh aksi Claudio Marchisio pada menit ke-58.
Kemenangan itu menjadi modal penting Juve untuk meladeni Bayern Munchen pada matchday keenam Liga Champions (9/12). "Kemenangan selalu menyenangkan. Ini hasil yang sangat penting sebelum kami bertanding dengan Bayern. Tapi, kami harus tetap waspada dan rendah hati," tutur Alessandro Del Piero, bintang Juve, seperti dilansir Sky Sport Italia.
"Permainan yang sangat ketat. Anda tidak bisa memenanginya dengan mudah. Kami telah melalui pertandingan yang sulit dan sempat dua kali kalah. Reaksi yang bagus dari para pemain," ujar Ciro Ferrara, pelatih Juve, seperti dilansir Reuters.
Bagi Marchisio, penentu kemenangan Juve, golnya ke gawang Julio Cesar sangat berarti. "Saya bekerja keras agar pulih dari cedera. Gol ini lahir atas kerja keras semua pemain," katanya.
Kekalahan Inter membuat peta persaingan scudetto semakin menarik. Nerazzurri -julukan Inter- memang masih berkuasa di puncak klasemen. Tapi, mereka kini hanya terpisah empat poin dengan AC Milan yang terus mengancam. Juve pun tak bisa dipandang remeh karena hanya berselisih satu poin dengan Rossoneri, julukan Milan.
"Kompetisi belum akan berakhir. Perjalanan masih panjang. Milan sekarang tampil baik dan terus merebut poin penting. Sampai akhir musim kami akan terus bertarung untuk mempertahankan gelar," tegas Javier Zanetti, kapten Inter.

Enam Pemain, Warriors mengalahkan Mavericks
DALLAS - Semangat penggawa Golden State Warriors layak mendapatkan acungan jempol. Pada saat krisis pemain, mereka tidak gentar melawat ke kandang tim kuat Dallas Mavericks kemarin WIB. Hebatnya, tidak sebatas memberikan perlawanan, Warriors sukses mempermalukan tuan rumah 111-103.
Melawat ke American Airlines Center, kandang Mavericks, tim kuat pun harus siap kalah. Sebelum laga kemarin, Dirk Nowitzki dkk hanya sekali kalah di sana. Apalagi, Warriors hanya punya delapan pemain fit. Lebih parah lagi, Monta Ellis dkk tidak didampingi pelatih kepala Don Nelson yang sedang bergelut dengan penyakit pneumonia (radang paru-paru).
Namun, tantangan itu berhasil dihadapi Warriors dengan baik. Dalam laga tersebut, mereka hanya menurunkan enam pemain. Artinya, hanya ada satu cadangan dalam pertandingan yang begitu ketat. Bisa dibayangkan begitu luar biasanya semangat para pemain Warriors hingga bisa mengalahkan Mavericks yang turun full team. Termasuk dua bintang utama mereka Dirk Nowitzki dan Jason Kidd.
Permainan luar biasa duet guard Monta Ellis dan Stephen Curry pada kuarter terakhir menjadi kunci kemenangan Warriors. Ellis menciptakan 37 poin yang merupakan poin tertingginya musim ini, 13 poin di antaranya tercipta pada kuarter keempat. Curry mengakhiri laga dengan mendulang 18 poin, 11 poin dibukukan pada empat menit terakhir. Warriors membalik ketertinggalan dan baru bisa unggul saat laga menyisakan 2 menit dan 20 detik.
''Kami datang tanpa beban ke pertandingan ini. Bagian terburuknya, mereka membuat kami kehabisan tenaga sebelum kami melanjutkan langkah (melawan San Antonio Spurs Rabu waktu setempat),'' tutur Keith Smart, asisten pelatih Warriors yang menggantikan posisi Nelson.
''Tapi, kami punya banyak karakter. Pemain bermain dengan usaha keras bersama-sama dan membuat keputusan yang tepat,'' lanjutnya.
Smart mendedikasikan kemenangan itu untuk Nelson. Karena sakit, kemarin dia hanya bisa menyaksikan perjuangan para pemainnya melalui tayangan televisi.
Dari kubu Mavericks, Nowitzki menjadi pendulang poin terbanyak dengan 28 plus dan 10 rebound. Sementara itu, Jason Terry mengemas 21 poin.
Produktif dalam mendulang poin, namun mereka tidak mempunyai jawaban untuk membendung Ellis dan Curry. ''Terlalu banyak keterpurukan, baik mental maupun fisik. Itu penyebab kami kalah,'' keluh pelatih Mavericks Rick Carlisle.
Kemenangan yang dibukukan Warriors kemarin seolah mematahkan alasan cedera yang selama ini digunakan pembenar keterpurukan New Jersey Nets. Kemarin WIB, Nets sudah membukukan rekor 0-14. Mereka terpaut tiga kekalahan lagi dari catatan terburuk 0-17 milik Los Angeles Clippers.

Menang 1-0 atas Debrecen, Liverpool Tersingkir dari Liga Champions
Dari hasil matchday kelima tersebut, Fiorentina berhak menemani Lyon ke babak 16 besar sebagai wakil grup E. Di klasemen sementara, Fiorentina mengoleksi 12 poin dari lima laga. Lyon menyusul dengan 10 poin, Liverpool (7), dan Debrecen yang belum sekali pun meraih poin.
Meski masih tersisa satu laga, dua posisi terbawah klasemen hampir pasti tidak berubah. Liverpool yang kalah head to head oleh Lyon pasti finis di peringkat ketiga sehingga akan melanjutkan kiprah Eropa di babak 32 besar Europa League.
Praktis, persaingan menarik dalam matchday pemungkas (9/12) hanya perebutan predikat juara grup antara Fiorentina dan Lyon. Kans Lyon lebih baik karena hanya akan menjamu Debrecen. Sedangkan Fiorentina bakal away ke Liverpool.
Bagi The Reds (julukan Liverpool), terhenti di fase grup merupakan aib pertama dalam enam edisi terakhir Liga Champions atau sejak menjadi juara pada musim 2004-2005. Jika lebih diperhatikan, pencapaian Steven Gerrard dkk merosot dalam empat edisi terakhir.
"Ketika Anda selalu lolos dari fase grup di lima edisi sebelumnya dan sekarang gagal, itulah bagian dari sepak bola," kata Rafael Benitez, arsitek Liverpool, sebagaimana dilansir Daily Telegraph. "Yang harus kami lakukan selanjutnya adalah memberikan penampilan terbaik di laga pemungkas melawan Fiorentina," tambah pelatih berkebangsaan Spanyol tersebut.
Liverpool sudah tampil baik saat melawan Debrecen di Stadion Puskas Ferencs kemarin. The Reds seolah menguasai jalannya permainan dari awal sampai akhir. Apalagi setelah David Ngog, pengganti Fernando Torres yang cedera pangkal paha, mencetak gol cepat saat laga baru memasuki menit keempat.
Gol tunggal Ngog mengakhiri catatan tidak pernah menang The Reds di empat laga sebelumnya di berbagai ajang. Kemenangan atas Debrecen sekaligus mengamankan jabatan Benitez. Sebelumnya, beredar rumor bahwa Benitez bakal didepak apabila Liverpool tersisih dari Liga Champions musim ini.
Tapi, Chief Executive Liverpool Christian Purslow memastikan bahwa posisi Benitez tidak terusik. "Posisi Rafa (sapaan akrab Rafael Benitez, Red) masih aman dan dia sama sekali tidak berada dalam tekanan klub. Dia baru menjalani empat bulan dari kontrak lima tahun yang ditekennya di awal musim ini. Jadi, kami masih akan berbisnis dengannya," tegas Purslow di Sportinglife.
Purslow menambahkan, manajemen Liverpool bisa menerima alasan Benitez seputar kegagalan The Reds di Liga Champions. Alasan apa? "Jika Anda menganalisis dua laga kami sebelumnya melawan Lyon, kami harus kebobolan gol-gol di menit-menit akhir. Kami benar-benar tidak beruntung," papar Benitez sebagaimana dikutip The Daily Post.

Kesempatan Terbaik Bologna untuk Kalahkan Inter Milan
Bologna vs Inter Milan
BOLOGNA - Konsentrasi Inter Milan terpecah menjelang bertemu Barcelona di matchday ke-5 Liga Champions (24/11). Dini hari nanti WIB, Javier Zanetti dkk harus melawat ke markas Bologna pada giornata (pekan) ke-13 Serie A Liga Italia.
Yang melegakan, apa pun hasil saat melawan Bologna tidak akan mengubah posisi Inter sebagai penguasa klasemen sementara. Tapi, penggawa Nerazzurri (julukan Inter Milan) tetap butuh suntikan motivasi dalam laga yang ditayangkan langsung Telkomvision Tel 2 pukul 00.00 WIB tersebut.
Setelah libur selama 13 hari karena berbenturan dengan laga playoff Piala Dunia 2010 dan pertandingan persahabatan, Javier Zanetti dkk butuh penyesuaian diri. Nah, sebelum menghadapi pertarungan berat melawan Barcelona yang akan menentukan langkah Inter di Liga Champions musim ini, laga melawan Bologna bisa menjadi ajang untuk memanaskan mesin perang.
Secara statistik, rekor Bologna sangat buruk ketika menghadapi Inter. Sejak Februari 2002, Bologna tidak pernah menang atas Inter. Apalagi, saat ini performa mereka sedang labil. Selama musim ini, Bologna hanya menang tiga kali.
"Pertandingan sebelum dan setelah Liga Champions (melawan Barcelona) sangat sulit. Jadi, kami harus tetap konsentrasi. Tujuan kami adalah merebut tiga poin. Setelah itu, baru kami berpikir istirahat," ujar Esteban Cambiasso, gelandang Inter, seperti dilansir Football Italia.
Menghadapi Bologna, kubu Inter tidak bisa menurunkan Wesley Sneijder dan Davide Santon yang cedera. Selain dua pemain itu, allenatore (pelatih) Jose Mourinho memiliki banyak opsi karena semuanya sedang fit.
Di sisi lain, kubu Bologna menyadari konsentrasi Inter sedang terbagi. Karena itu, inilah kesempatan terbaik untuk mengalahkan Inter. "Kami percaya bisa melakukan itu. Keuntungan bermain di kandang harus dimaksimalkan," kata Franco Colomba, pelatih Bologna, kepada Goal.
Striker Bologna Marco Di Vaio lebih realistis memandang laga kontra Inter. "Inter lebih tangguh daripada kami. Karena itu, kami butuh permainan hebat plus keberuntungan. Inter punya skuad yang besar dan merata di semua lini," tutur Di Vaio.
Situasi tersebut membuat Inter tetap berbahaya, meski konsentrasi mereka terbagi. "Nerazzurri punya skuad yang dipenuhi pemain hebat, tidak hanya striker yang bisa mencetak gol," kata Di Vaio. (ham/aww)

By reaching pole position in the series cover the season, Stoner register pole during this third season. He has shown speed in the early qualifying session. Although competition is tight, he slid from the top position. When the rival repair record, Stoner also improve.
Australian driver's created his best time, 1 minute and 32.256 seconds, to beat two local champion Spain, Dani Pedrosa and Jorge Lorenzo, in the second and third positions.
For Stoner, pole is made more solid answer any question addressed to him. ''Many people say that I do not have sufficient reason to overcome the problem in mid-season. Far better for me to race in the present conditions, every day the better,''he told the Autosport.

Formula 1: Participants Old Loss, The Successor Doubtful
Driver Has Only Nine Contract
2010 season begins in March next year, but the situation in Formula 1 is very critical. Old teams began to fall out, new teams are still in doubt. What will happen next?
After Toyota's withdrawal, there are 13 teams registered for the Formula 1 in 2010. If in the near future Renault also retreated, then the amount is still 12, will display 24 cars. Still more than 2009 this season, which only followed by the ten teams, down 20 cars.
But was at least 12 teams will compete? Until now, there are still doubts that amount. Of the four new teams that had been cleared, not all of them believed to be survive and appear in the series opener, in Bahrain, in March next year.
Should be able to come down in the series opener was, not all believed to be survive until the end of the 2010 season.
And do-do, there is still time to join the team in trouble, so it would fall out and get out of F1.
Like it or not, F1 must admit that current conditions are critical. There is no means no. Exist does not mean more. Not believe? Look at the list of participants and the drivers that accompany this article. Total, only nine drivers who will hold the contract for 2010.
Only nine of a total of 24 cockpit that should be available!
If you want more critical again, not all of which have signed the contract was safe. Robert Kubica, the Polish star was about to race for Renault, it still had to seek shelter "reserves." Although he had signed a contract with Renault, there is no guarantee his team would continue. If the boss says Renault back before the end of 2009, then signed a contract that Kubica had no more meaning.
Another whose signature is not necessarily effective Bruno Senna. The late Ayrton Senna's nephew was going to live debut with new team Campos Meta. But, if Campos was canceled Meta appear, so he still had to find another job.
So, to be honest, only seven drivers who really safe for 2010!
How many numbers would actually racing next year? Until now, no one dared to predict. With any luck, 26 cars. If you continue to fall, do-not less than 20.
Ferrari, the most popular teams in F1, including the most dubious of new teams in 2010. According to the official website Horse Jingkrak, Manor, Lotus, USF1, and Meta Campos will not be able to replace the important names such as Honda, BMW, Bridgestone, and Toyota.
"We have to see next year, will we see the same number of participants in Bahrain for the first series in 2010. And, we see how many can survive until the end of the season," so writes the Ferrari website.
Between the rows of new teams, who most doubt? The most mentioned name will be missing is USF1. Ross Brawn, Brawn-Mercedes boss who went on to become world champion in 2009, including the creation team questioning the existence Ken Anderson and Peter Windsor is.
Brawn surprised, until now USF1 kok tests have not hit to his 2010 car. "We've done that in the past two months, to prepare for the official test session. The new team should also have done the same thing if you want to be ready to face the beginning of next season," Brawn said, as quoted Blick German.
Of course, the USF1 was loudly saying next year will appear. Presence of a founder YouTube Chad Hurley as an investor known as a strong start.
"We will find the revenue to make this a great business. The earnings may not be much in the first years. But I did not join in the short term. We look forward 20 years," said Hurley.
Including this November, there are still four months before the roar of new cars in F1 again be heard in February 2010. During these four months, follow the continued development of "health" F1. Before closing the year, we'll know how long the team survived. After that, we wait until February, to see how the new team to survive. (*)
Development of New Teams
USF1

Including the most dubious. Reportedly, 60 new staff are paid per month without a contract. Reportedly, their contracts with the Cosworth engine trouble. Some time ago, the FIA had checked the condition of the headquarters in Charlotte, United States, and was satisfied. But there is no sign of cars built or significant progress the team. The team is quite good at "talk," commented a lot of things diligently to show existence. However, there is not necessarily the substance.
Lotus

There is a great designer Mike Gascoyne, and chassis production process has begun with the help of Fondtech in Italy. Gascoyne said, his department is now looking for two experienced drivers. Jarno Trulli is a strong candidate. The second cockpit can be filled by Jacques Villeneuve, Christian Klien, or kamui Kobayashi.
Manor

The first chassis is scheduled to be the end of this November, ready to fall in February 2010. Lucas On Grassi, GP2 star, called a candidate Manor drivers. Oh yes, Manor is already able to sponsor a large, Virgin, which last season Brawn support.
Campos Meta

Williams, Toyota, and Brawn will compete in Australia and Malaysia with the design of their current cars, but with concern that all the points that they can be removed if the appeal stronghold Red Bull, Renault, and Ferrari is granted.
New F1 rules limit the size of the diffuser. The team stated that protest, Williams, Toyota, and Brawn to outsmart the rules by using a design on the back of the car associated with the diffuser which increases the size of the diffuser. This tool is on the back of a car that serves to increase downforce, helping speed, turning, and the smooth performance of the car.

"Sadly, many columns (on paper) this week will be filled with controversy about it and it could easily become a fierce argument," he said.
Whitmarsh said McLaren, a team that overshadow world champion Lewis Hamilton, is also an important clarification needs to make their cars quickly added after stumbling during pramusim tests. If the final decision legalizing Williams, Toyota, and Brawn, other teams will also be forced to change their diffuser to compete in a fair and strict with three teams.

Mancini Tepis Isu ke Liverpool
Mancini Tepis Isu ke Liverpool
Tuesday, 03 November 2009 21:58
Nama Roberto Mancini disebut-sebut sebagai calon pengganti Rafael Benitez yang gagal membawa Liverpool bersinar musim ini. Namun Mancio lekas menepis rumor suksesi itu.
Liverpool sejauh ini telah kalah lima kali, di mana yang terakhir diderita dari tangan Fulham. Alhasil, posisi Benitez sebagai manajer pun mulai digoyang dan saat itulah nama Mancini yang sekarang mengganggur mulai muncul.
Mancini sekarang sudah benar-benar bebas meski sebenarnya telah menganggur sejak dipecat Inter Milan tahun 2008. Pekan lalu, Inter telah resmi melepas kontrak pelatih berusia 44 tahun itu.
Saat ditanya tentang kansnya melatih Liverpool, Mancini seperti dikutip Football Italia menjawab, "Saat ini, tidak ada apa-apa. Tapi saat Anda bicara soal pelatih dan tim yang tengah kesulitan, mereka yang sedang available pasti dibicarakan."
Selain dihubungkan dengan Liverpool, Mancini juga dikaitkan dengan Real Madrid. Kursi pelatih Los Blancos yang kini diduduki Manuel Pellegrini tengah panas karena performa tim belum sesuai harapan.
"Saya akan melihat kalau ada tawaran yang datang dan lantas saya akan mengevaluasinya," tandas Mancini.

Liverpool versus United: It will be war
Don't let Liverpool's form fool you.
I think Liverpool have got a chance to get a result against Manchester United this weekend.
You know what Liverpool and their fans are like at Anfield. They will be up for it. It will be war.
Win their next game against the league leaders and Liverpool will be back in the title race. It's madness.
Liverpool are not a two-man team. What's worrying for me is they are a three-man team.
Up against Sunderland, Liverpool didn't have Fernando Torres or Steven Gerrard. Neither did they have Javier Mascherano in their starting lineup. People tend to forget about Mascherano.
That midfield was very lightweight. Liverpool fielded a second-rate team and they simply lost to Sunderland. The defeats show how weak their strength-in-depth is.
I can only be confident of Liverpool winning games when Gerrard and Torres are fit. Without either, it will always be difficult to win.
However, I still feel that if Liverpool play their first team, they are stronger than even Arsenal. The problem comes when you have a great first-eleven and then you are worried about the fitness of the players.
When injuries or suspensions come in, you find out your second-string players are just not good enough to replace the first-teamers.
That's the problem facing Liverpool at the moment.
Manchester United also played poorly against Bolton. Although they got all three points, United were not firing on all cylinders.
Bolton deserved to grab at least a draw at Old Trafford. United also struggled in the match against Sunderland, who played a good game and should've got more than a point at United.
Steve Bruce has done well at the Stadium of Light and spent wisely in the transfer market.
I think it's a much more open Premier League this season. We have said this often, but this season has been more open than ever before.
What Mark Hughes said was partly right. The top half of the table is getting ever more competitive and the Big Four are expected to drop more points from now until the end of the season.
Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester United will not have easy games any more.
I dare say that since Manchester City can afford to compete with the big boys in the transfer market, they can also compete in the league.
City for their part did well to collect a draw at Wigan. And we all know how Wigan ended Chelsea's 100 percent start to the league.
So it proves these games are now not easy. There are no easy three points in the Premier League any more.
Aston Villa were impressive in their win over Chelsea. Not only did they beat Liverpool at Anfield, they have now beaten Chelsea.
Chelsea's defence has not been at its best and has been switching off at crucial times, losing concentration.
It's not just down to John Terry and Ricardo Carvalho; it's just awful defending from everyone.
It's quite a shock to see Chelsea defend so sloppily against corners, and if it had been Liverpool, they would have been hammered Villa.
I think you shouldn't find excuses whenever teams lose after international breaks or European games.
You have a squad to choose players from and you have to change things up to use them efficiently - that's the art of good management.
