Tottenham Hotspur 0 - 5 Real Madrid
There were no problems for Real Madrid against Tottenham, who comfortably won both the legs. But with all due respect, had Peter Crouch, the 201cm target man, not been sent off in the 15th minute of the first leg, Real probably would have had a way more difficult task. Personally, the excitement of the game evaporated after that incident, and anyone who understands football could tell who would progress!
Schalke 04 7 - 3 Internazionale
At the beginning of the quarter-finals, no-one would have bet against Inter, the defending champions, the side with star players at pretty much all the positions. But the 'mediocre' side from Germany not only caused a huge upset, but literally thrashed Inter, making a bold statement to the three other teams.
