The groundsman wont be pleased with this. He'll plead "too much rain" but at the same time... In the 1970s, every second game was played in conditions like this.
Benfica and Olympiakos manfully attempted to play football on this surface tonight. In the immortal words of every GAA club ref who inspected a chronically waterlogged pitch "It's only a bit of rain."
Top class sports photography here...
