The red devils have struck form at the right time and look ominous. The last few matches in the UEFA Champions League, Sir Alex’s boys have played wonderfully well. The quarter final 2-2 draw at Old Trafford against Porto was when they shed all inhibitions and went all out at Porto in the second leg, and thanks to a stunning Ronaldo goal, they found themselves in the final four.
If you had seen the first leg of the semi finals, Manchester United played at home, you would not believe that the final score-line was 1-0. The devils missed one too many opportunities and only went up by the John O’ Shea goal. But boy, what an answer at the Emirates ground. Three goals against one (that too an unfortunate penalty). Eight minutes in the first half, a brilliant ball by Ronaldo, which caught Gibbs on the wrong foot, and Ji Sung Park made no mistake. Wonder what Almunia was doing.
Hardly three minutes had gone by; when a low, in-swinging Ronaldo free kick found the back of the net. No wonder they call him the magician. Shirt no. 7 also seems to do some tricks for him. Devils go 2-0 up against Arsene Wenger’s gunners, who looked to be in complete disarray.
The 61st minute ball by Rooney, which Ronaldo guided to the back of the net, sealed the deal for the devils, though I personally feel Ronaldo should have got his hat-trick. The spoiler, however, was Darren Fletcher’s send-off. Robert Rosetti got it wrong though, as it was clear in the replay that Fletcher won the ball first before hitting Fabregas in the wonderful tackle. The silent contributor will miss the finals.
So, who will join the devils in Rome? It will be clear tonight but I can’t help myself supporting the blues. Guus Hiddink’s boys denied Barcelona at Camp Nou, which was a rarity this season. And, at Stamford Bridge, with a 0-0 score-line to start with, Chelsea looks more than likely to book a place in the finals.
Gosh, I am eager to witness another mouth-watering, ManU-Chelsea epic encounter for the European Championship. Or would it be the repeat of last season’s semi finals, when the devils bettered Barcelona, thanks to the Paul Scholes goal.
Come what may, it is going to be a great match tonight folks. So tune in to Ten Sports at 0000hrs for the Chelsea-Barcelona encounter.
The temperature in Europe is certainly rising. What say???
