Champions League expert Giorgio Chinaglia supplies a bulletin on how the second week of European fixtures went, and who to look out for from here on in.

Giorgio was voted Lazio's best ever player as well as playing with Pele and Franz Beckenbauer in the NASL. He covers the Champions League in the US for Chelsea's radio partner Sirius and has accompanied the squad on tours of the States.

Firstly, as a follower of Chelsea I would like to say thank God Didier Drogba doesn't need surgery, that's good news for the Blues because he is so important. It was worrying to see him carried off at Cluj on Wednesday so I am relieved there is no major damage.

In the other game in Group A, In Roma came from behind to beat Bordeaux in France, and were too much for Laurent Blanc's side. Roma have a good chance to go through now, but looking at the other sides in that group I don't see a threat to Chelsea.

After two rounds the first thing I see is the Premier League sides are the teams to beat, they have all done exceptionally well and look dead certs to progress.

The problem now is they are too strong for almost everyone else, and can go all the way. I think everyone is aware of this now, and they are the teams to beat. Arsenal were impressive and could have scored seven or eight goals, Manchester united had an easy situation.

The others who have done well are the Spanish sides, Barcelona, Real Madrid, Villarreal and Atletico Madrid.

Barcelona were lucky right at the end with two goals from Messi against Shakhtar, and Real Madrid beat Zenit 2-1, while Atletico are beginning to get noticed in Liverpool's group.

Sergio Aguerro scored for them, and as a fourth seed they are supposed to be outsiders but look good.

Big name players always do well, and Aguerro must now be considered among them. He scored a fantastic goal and will be even more famous soon, now he has Champions League exposure.

I don't think Atletico can go all the way to the Final because of the strength of the Premiership teams, who are likely to make up the majority of semi-finalists if they avoid each other early on, but they are showing signs that they can at least progress to the quarter-finals.

The biggest surprise so far though has to be Anorthosis Famagusta, who beat Henk ten Cate's Panathinaikos 3-1. This is still the beginning of the tournament and surely their good form won't last, but they are riding high on excitement in Cyprus.

They are by no means a bad team but I don't think they will end up doing so much in what is a tough group for them. Next up they face Inter.

I thought the Nerazzurri would do well under José Mourinho, but only tied at home to Werder Bremen, which was surprising, though it was nice to see Claudio Pizarro score for Werder, as José acknowledged.

Something seems to be missing with Inter at the moment and José will have to work a bit harder in finding the right partnership up front. That said, they are more organised than last year and will not concede many goals, as is José's way.

A third of the way through, the groups are starting to take a little shape, and after the next round of games we should have a good idea of who may progress to the knockout stages. Catch up with me then, when Chelsea take on my former local rivals, Roma.
