Histora.org newsletter March 3, 2000 The 1999-2000 Champions' League has resumed from the winter break with defending champions Manchester United coming out with a convincing win over Girondins Bordeaux while leaders Fiorentina continue to set the pace in group B with a win over Valencia. Last year's finalists Bayern Munich took a great step towards the quarter-finals with a win at Real Madrid in group C, while Barcelona and FC Porto continue to look to be on their way in group A. Feyenoord Rotterdam are the surprise leaders of group D after handing Lazio Rome a surprise home defeat while Olympique Marseille have restored some hope of reaching the next round with a home win over Chelsea. In the UEFA Cup, the first leg of the round-of-16 saw Arsenal, Galatasaray Instanbul, and Real Mallorca virtually assure themselves a place in the quarter-finals while all the other matchups will depend on the outcome of the return leg.
