Absolutely amazing game at the Emirates last night!  Just when you thought Arsenal were dead and buried they hit back!  With Puyol & Pique missing for the return it could be a very interesting game....Fabregas will be sorely missed though, such a shame for him too on a personal level missing out on a return to his boyhood club

Yeah it really was an amazing game, as soon as the first went, I thought fuck they're going to put 4 or 5 past us. But luckily that wasn't the case and we managed to equalise. The last 20 minutes of the match, I think we were in complete control, Walcott made the difference, Barcelona's defence just couldn't handle him at all. We were lucky in getting the penalty, but I think we would have score anyway, we were in control at that point and kept coming back with attack after attack.

The 2nd leg will be very interesting.

Definately, he was super awesome today

I think the other semi-final will be Bayern Munchen - Lyon.

As I posted on my Facebook, there just aren't enough superlatives for Messi.  4 hat-tricks already in 2010 and he made Arsenal look like a team of amateurs.  On that evidence, Argentina have to be big favourites for the World Cup given that it wasn't even a particularly strong Barca team he was playing in.

I'm hoping for Man Utd & Lyon to get through, but it'll be a tall order without Rooney

Yeah, Messi made us look silly, but it was inevitable with so many injuries. Overall they were better than us over both legs and deserved to go through.
I still don't think Barcelona are the best, I think Chelsea are better, they were unlucky to not go through last year.

Chelsea just made their 2 worst games of the year with Inter. I think they would win this year's Champions League easily if they had advanced instead of Inter. It would have been nice to see a repeat of last year's semi final, with Chelsea wanting revenge for the 3 penalties not given to them in the 2nd leg against Barcelona.

Last year, absolutely. This year, I have a feeling Barca might steam roll their way through. It would be a serious upset if they lose.

In other news, United lost.. dang Can't comment much since I didn't watch the match but conceding 2 goals in 6 mins (what I heard) is bad especially when you're 3-0 up ;(

They did not conceed 2 goals in 6 mins. It was 3-1 after the 1st half, then Rafael was sent off in the 2nd half and 15 minutes from time Robben scored the crucial goal for Bayern.

Barcelona knocked out
Inter won 3-2 agg

Lyon knocked out
Bayern won 4-0 agg

Bayern Munich V Inter Milan is the final
