Champions League Semi Final First Leg's


The semi final of the champions League took place this week- with more English teams playing than goals scored! Without a doubt, four of the top clubs in Europe battled it out, trying to get a foot into the Final that will take place in Rome. Barcelona entertained Chelsea in a huge battle Tuesday night. Even with some of the best attacking talent on show, neither team could find a way through. Chelsea came closest when Didier Drogba got a one on one with the Barca keeper, but what a rare chance that was for Chelsea. The advantage will definitely be with the Stanford bridge outfit in next week’s second leg.
In the other semi Final, John O’Shea was the unlikely hero, as he belted in a half volley mid way through the first half. United absolutely pummeled the Arsenal goal and should have scored more goals. It could very well come back to haunt them as they go to Highbury for the return leg next Tuesday. Could it be a repeat of last season final - Chelsea vs Man Utd? I would not be surprised, and what a game that would be!
