I didn't get a chance to see any of the ECL games and just catching up with the results from yesterday and today.
Looks like we have an unexpected leader of the table, Aston Villa, who are emerging as the dark horse of this tournament.
In fact, all 4 Premier League clubs have won their games in this round, and they now occupy the top 3, with Arsenal lagging a bit behind in 9th position, but with the same amount of points as 3rd Man City.
In contrast, only one of the 4 German teams has won their game. Stuttgart, a much underrated team in my opinion, has finally managed to earn 3 points after the additional time winner by Toure. I don't know what the odds were, but I'm sure Juventus was the favourite.
I think the gap between Premier League teams and the rest will get wider as the league progresses. I think only Real and Barcelona can perform at a similarly high level, but they might not be as consistent as the English teams.
