Werder great trip...

Pleasantly surprised by the trip to Bremen. A very friendly city, with a nice atmosphere, and great fans.

Any result would have put us top of the group, and we could still guarantee progress into the last 16 with a 1-0 loss, on account of the 2-0 win against them at home.

The bonus of losing 1-0 was also that Barca would be in a more difficult position in trying to qualify. They would have to beat Bremen in the final game to progress, whereas a draw would be enough for Bremen.

As luck would have it, after a dismal performance, we did lose 1-0, and are through to the next round. A result against Levski will ensure top spot.
