Was a good game tonight. Very poor start by Man U. They couldn't hold the ball and made a lot of mis-timed tackles early on. Barcelona were much like Arsenal this season. Play around the 18-yard box and then struggle to do anything - it was a joy seeing them pass it around though. An Arsenal-Barcelona game right now would be some spectacle. Man U probably just about deserved to win, just on clear chances created, but if Barca could have mustered a half-decent final ball once in a while, Man U would have been out by several goals.
Love watching Ronaldo play, but his game isn't the big games. He's a big-game player, sure (and his set-pieces alone are testament to that), but the way he works the ball isn't suited to tight-packed continental defenders. When he gets the ability to play around that, he'll have everything.
Being a Liverpool fan, if I'm honest, I'd have preferred Barcelona if we can get to the final. I don't hate Man U like most Liverpool fans, it's just that I feel we'd have half a shot at Barcelona. We always raise our game much more when playing major European teams, while recently we can't seem to beat Man U no-matter what (save that one FA cup tie a couple of years back).
That said, Chelsea are favourites, and they've put in 2 consecutive strong performances. If I were a Man U fan wanting the easier final, I'd be rooting for Liverpool tomorrow.
