Man United v/s FC Barcelona
Finally Man United are in the final again. Thanks to a certain Paul Scholes' amazing goal, and although Barcelona were slightly unlucky that Van Der Saar is such an amazing goal keeper, ManU were completely deserving of going through into the next round. I am glad I finished work early enough at half past eleven so that I could rush home to watch [...]

However, after the initial crazy flurry of activities in the first few minutes, which saw Ronaldo miss a penalty, things sort of tempered down and I fell asleep during [...]
Liverpool v/s Chelsea
A friend of mine had come over to watch the Champions League semifinal first leg between Liverpool and Chelsea, and as prior reputations of both teams' playing styles have been kept into consideration, nobody was expecting an excellent match, but it promised to be exciting nevertheless.
