Any surprise that ManU secured the win at Porto? I think all this talk that ManU was "in trouble" was a bit premature. Granted they had given up the 2 away goals to Porto, but because it was a draw, ManU knew a win would send them through. Porto did have some chances but I never really thought Manchester United were threatened. ugh.
This does set up two very intriguing semifinals -
Chelsea v Barca
Manchester United v Arsenal
Wow, yes very British flavor. But what about the Manchester United v Arsenal rivalry being showcased in the semis? Arsenal know they can beat the Red Devils, and SAF would love nothing more than to deny his old nemesis Wenger a trip to the finals. The other match up is also very interesting, under Hiddink Chelsea have started to demonstrate their world class form. However they will be facing the best team in Europe - Barca.
I think we will see a Barcelona v Manchester United finals...

I think Arsenal-Barca finals.
And Thierry Henry will be on the wrong side again. arsenal-2 barca-1
Arsenal are coming into form - they shoul dhave beaten Liverpool last night without Van Persie and Abedayor. Arshavin looks like he is adjusting to the EPL now and is a great player. The CL semi with Man U will be great. Overall the standard of excitement in the all British games is great. Makes watching La Liga and especially Serie A games a cure for insomnia! Technically they may be as good or better but for entertainment there is no comparison. That's why the EPL is the most watched league in the world.
Man U squeaking through against Porto must have made you choke on your wheaties Guy :-)
ManU beating Porto, while not unexpected was completely frustrating. Porto looked like a shell of itself from the tie in England. That was terrible.
