A quick round-up of the champions league matches yesterday:
AC Milan 1-0 Manchester Utd.
Milan managed to carry on with the good work they started at Old Trafford and ended up as comfortable winners in one of the most anticipated ties this season. Man U is still to beat Milan in the champions league and judging by the way they played, they'll really have to improve to make any mark. Milan dominated in the midfield again and their defending was exemplary. Boosted by Stam's return, with Maldini switching to his favourite left-back position, the Milan defence ensured that Rooney was never in the game. Van Nistelroy was also disappointing on a day where Man U created only a handful of chance. Milan could have actually won 2-0 had Gattuso managed to roll the ball in after Crespo scored from a well executed header in the 61st minute. Goodbye Man U! We'll see you next year!
Other matches: Chelsea beat Barca 4-2 on the night of tense and exciting football mixed with some sheer brilliance by the magician, Ronaldinho. They go through 5-4 on aggregate. However, the second goal Ronaldinho scored for Barca was one of the best I have seen for quite sometime now.
Lyon destroyed Werder Bremen 7-2 at home cruising thru' to the quarters.. Watch out for this team! They can surprise a few people this season.
As for today looking fwd to Real-Juve encounter.. Should be a sparkling match..
On to cricket, after a frustrating morning, Sehwag more than made up for the lost play by providing lots of entertainment to the crowd. Shall try to catch the highlights of his innings tonight. India is in a strong position right now and unless they do something daft(assuming the weather holds good ofcourse!), they should win this match..
Been a busy day with many meetings and sessions.. Tomorrow there's a project party planned in the evening.. So that should be good fun..
I seem to have lost in touch with all the latest happenings.. I think it's been 4 days since I touched a newspaper!! That's about it from my desk for the day..
