Well, it is official...at least one English team will be in the finals of the Champions League. Chelski got their much needed late winner last night while ManUgh annihilated Roma 7-1 at home after losing 2-1 away last week. Watching that game you just felt so bad for Roma. It was one of those times where you wish they had "time-outs" in soccer. Roma needed one desperately 20mins in to the match. Both games were on at the same time so I kept flipping the telly back an forth (I was watching the Chelski v Valencia game since that outcome has the most affect on my Scousers) and every time I flipped back to the United/Roma game there seemed to have been another goal scored. It was ridiculous.
Now does that 7 goal blowout prove that United are the favorites of this competition? I don't think so. It just proves that the Italian Serie A-/B+ team shouldn't have been there in the first place. Although the pundits could say the same about PSV and that Liverpool has it just as easy. At least PSV are tops in their home league. I think Liverpool are still the favorites given they have the fire and quality of play of late that should push them through to the finals just like two years ago.
Although, this time with Garcia out for the season we'll need someone else to snatch a late winner at home to send us on to Athens. Come on Crouchie! Come on you REDS!!!
