Real win late, Raul nets 50; Liverpool, Chelsea draw
After two games, the nine-time European champion, which lost 3-0 at Lyon in its opening game, has three points, Olympiakos has none. Lyon leads with six points after beating Rosenborg 1-0, while the Norwegians are on three. Olympiakos' defeat extended its dismal away form in the competition. The team hasn't won any of its 26 away games in the Champions League.
Liverpool 0, Chelsea 0
It was a rematch of last season's semifinalists, where Liverpool upset Chelsea 1-0 to advance to the final and win its fifth European title. Both sides were strong in defense and midfield with the ball going from end to end throughout. Chelsea's best chance in the first half came when winger Arjen Robben dribbled down the right with Liverpool goalkeeper Jose Manuel Reina palming his shot over the crossbar. Midfielder Frank Lampard's free kick in the eighth minute was also turned
around the post by Reina. Xabi Alonso earning a yellow card for holding back
midfielder Michael Essien to give away the free kick.
