And the Reds go Marching On! On! On!

And the Final match up is out! Hot news! It wont be the widely predicted all English Final which is a replay of last season's final but it is going to be a mouth watering clash between the English and Spanish Champions. Spanish dazzle versus English grit and industry. Who will prevail?
Stay tuned for the Match of the season between FC Barcelona and Manchester United.

With an emphatic 4-1 aggregate win over teenage Arsenal, United have once again shown their European pedigree and domination. Early goals by Park and a Ronaldo sizzler stuck the nail in Arsenal's European coffin and swift counter attacking football sealed their fate in the 61 first min courtesy of Ronaldo and Rooney coupled with good work by Park. It was a pity that the referee made a harsh decision to send off Darren Fletcher causing him to miss the final. But that said, Man Utd have produced a vintage performance with all players on form and exposing a injury ravaged inexperienced Arsenal side. Van Persie had given them a consolation goal from the spot. Ronaldo was really impressive as he appeared all over the pitch to wreck havoc onto Arsenal. Wayne Rooney as always was a fantastic pain in Arsenal's behind. 3-1 to United and they are on their way to defending the title in Rome! And the Reds go Marching On! On! On!


Barcelone were very lucky to have made it through at the death with Iniesta cancelling out an excellent Essien goal early in the first half during injury time. Chelsea are majorly disappointed by the referee's blindness but in actual fact, they deserved to be in the final. After 2 superb displays against the free scoring Barcelona side, it was luck that undid them. But ot be frank, they wouldnt be in their position had they been more clinical in front of goal. That was something that United have finally found after 3/4 season and they are firm favourites to be the first team to retain the Champions League in its current form.
Lets stay tuned for an awesome final. Till then, do check back on Saturday for our weekend preview!
