| It'S really strange, there are also 5 matches scheduldes at 21:05, only 3 early matches, two of them at 18:00, that makes only Inter-Tottenham at 19:00
Maybee some insider can explain :-) |

The nationalities are diverse at this stage, 11 nations. England has been split with 1 club early and 2 late, and Russia has been split 2 clubs early, 1 club late. Italy has 1 club early 1 club late. The rest of the teams in the late slot are the last survivor of their nation. |

| I guess that TV stations from Portugal (SIC) and France (W9) had their say. It's a win-win situation, as ratings in both countries will be much higher at 21:05 CET / 20:05 GMT. |

| Regarding this question that i asked to all of you,not only is very strange that both games between benfica and bordeaux are played at 21.05 but as SirHenry made notice,this caused another very strange thing,that is that only 3 games are played early and 5 games are played late.I hope some insider can explain more about this topic! |
