Champions League 2010/2011

[ACF]

Anelka with his second goal. Oh well. I guess Copenhagen going through to the final 16 was all I could ask for.

[ederson]

Benzema with his first touch scored for real. the second half is a completely different story cause real has taken control of the game. CR and Ramos had two great chances but the ball hit the post both times.

[ederson]

Copenhagen although lost the game broke a world record. The "danish" players covered in total 134km during the game against Chelsea

COME ON, RED DEVILS!

[jdpapa3]

Liverpool fan, but I'm still hoping Torres pulls a few back here!!!

I really dislike Utd.

[Who]

I like Ancelotti playing Torres and Drogba up front together.

They haven't found their chemistry yet, and Torres has struggled since joining, but they are both top class players ... and I like their chances of coming good on the big occasion.

I dislike seeing Zhirkov on the left wing + Ramires in the center though. Chelsea's midfield is their best strength against United and Ancelotti has weakened that considerably by playing those two.

[Who]

I like Man Utd's lineup.

Great decision to play Hernandez instead of Berbatov. Much better work ethic. He'll chase down defenders and make runs all night long. He is the type of nuisance (in a good way) that you want in your side in a tight game (exploit or force a mistake by the other team).

Scholes is going to be a great substitute to throw on after about 60 minutes too. Give Man Utd's midfield order if they need to hold onto a lead or chase the game. Impressed with his work as an impact sub. Nani, Berbatov, Smalling ... lot of quality on that Man Utd bench.

This is the worst I have seen Bosingwa play.

Woowwwwwww two very near goals for Chelsea.

[Who]

Great pressure by Chelsea just before the half ended. Lampard should have scored there. Excellent block by Evra.

Man Utd were looking the stronger side just moments earlier though ... looked like they were starting to take control of the game.

Unimpressed with Chelsea's midfield's creativity / penetration in the final third. The strikers have made a lot of bad decisions too ... but all it takes is one moment of brilliance and I like having guys like Drogba and Torres for that.

[Who]

Beautiful pass by Michael Carrick to help setup the goal.

[Who]

Chelsea need to make a substitution. Malouda or Kalou needs to come for Zhirkov.

[Who]

Drogba's frustration is nearing boiling point ... worried about him doing something stupid.

[Who]

That should have been a penalty.

Anyone else watching the Madrid vs Barcelona semi-final?

It has been a very disappointing game so far. Madrid sitting back in their own half letting Barcelona's defenders and deep midfielders knock it about it 40-50 yards from goal. Very little attacking done by either side.

I hear that the last two games were like this too. The league match and the Copa Del Rey Final. With Barcelona dominating possession and Real looking to hit them on the counter.
