Manchester United went to Portugal this week, knowing that only a victory would see them through to the semi final of the Champions League. Porto left Old Trafford last week with a well deserved 2-2 tie, meaning that a win or draw would see them through. But less than 10 minutes in, the tie had taken a turn in the direction of Manchester United, a Cristiano Ronaldo strike from 35 yards set the stage for Manchester United to march on to the next round. And what a strike it was. Ronaldo picked the ball up just inside the Porto half, took a few steps and launched an absolute rocket the left the Porto keeper with no chance. It seems like the Superfly's worked for him, helping him put extra power and precision behind his shot.
Manchester United will face Arsenal in the semi final after Arsenal dispatched of Villareal in style with a 3-0 win in London. In the other semi final, Chelsea and Barcelona will meet in what is sure to be an absolutely cracking battle, with a lot of history between the two teams over the past several years. More reviews to come later.
