Real Madrid looked just plain ordinary. In fact, they looked plain awful for most of the match.

That was a bit special, wasn't it? The whole Arsenal team was fantastic tonight.

Sets it up for a very interesting second leg. :)

Anybody know the odds on a 0-0 in the Chelsea game tonight? I've got a hunch it's going to be dull to the extreme.

I know, 90 minutes to go and all that.

I'd expect to Liverpool to turn this one round and Arsenal to be a bit too nervy and let Real in a bit more at Highbury.

Real were shocking last night though 8O

Sort of proves my point that given the low-scoring nature of European football first legs nowdays it's usually far better to be away second in the tie, because the job's easier if you know the away goals rule is on your side...

Don't be ridiculous. That would involve scoring two goals in the same game.

Do not forget that a penalty shoot-out is still a possibility, Stu.

You're quite right - I stand corrected. One goal in the first 30 minutes, then an hour-and-a-half of defending for penalties...

Bad news for Liverpool's Sissoko. I thought it looked like a fairly innocuous clash, the sort that happens quite regularly, but he's obviously been unlucky.

Fantastic, hard-working display from the Gers tonight. At 2-2, it's still a hell of a tall order to go through, but if we work as hard as we did tonight in a fortnight over there then we'll get some chances - just got to take them this time :wink:
