Arsenal 1 Manchester United 3. Arsenal was truly beaten this time in London. There was no escape this time for Arsenal. Almunia could do nothing, Fabregas could do no passing and despite what Wenger did promise to give Man United a fight, it did not come. It took a rather awkward and lucky break for Man United though to be one goal up. Thanks to a slipped by Gibbs which left Park Ji Sung with the opportunity to score. He did and it was 0 - 1 Man United. Then came the strike by Ronaldo on the 11th. minutes after he was fouled by Van Persie. From almost 35 yards out, he unleashed a cracker and Almunia was beaten. Came half time and I expected Arsenal to come back charging after a brashing by Arsene Wenger but Fabregas and Co. must have known, realised and felt that Arsenal trophy cabinet will be bare again for another year. When Ronaldo scored again after a sensational breakthru out of Arsenal's corner, clearance by Vidic to Ronaldo, who passed the ball to Ji Sung, who then slipped it over to Rooney, who then crossed a curler and was well connected by Ronaldo for his 2nd. goal, Arsenal was in tatters!. Fletcher was sent out after a clumsy tackle on Fabregas whci ruled him out of the final in Rome. Van Persie converted the penalty but Arsenal was already dead and gone at the Emirates!. Fianal score, semi final of the Champion league... Man United 4 Arsenal 1. Glory glory Man United!
Tonight, Chelsea will play host to Barcelona in the other semi-final. Another London flop!? We'll see!
