Arsenal and Real go through
What ManYoo couldn't do, the Arse did it with ease, with supposedly a convincing 2-0 victory over Celta Vigo. If you ask me, i would seriously think that the Arse would be hands down my favourites to go all the way and clinch the Champs' League throphy this year. The other hot favourite would probably be AC Milan, with Shevcenko in irresistable form lately. But I wont really be that much surprised if Arsenal suddenly get kicked out by some other team, like Deportivo or, Marseille for example, no that i am saying that they aren't any good or anything, it's just that, if Arsenal are on form, they would tear the living daylights out of these teams. However, Arsenal being Arsenal, they might just end up losing to them by conceding a goal in the last minute or something. I wouldn't be suprised.

Real on the other hand do NOT look comfortable at all. Without the Brazillian the Brazillian nuts, it took a moment of genius by none other than Zinedine Zidane to get them through to the next round. But that's just the thing with Real Madrid. They have the players who can just bring you one moment of brilliance that could win you the match. Like what Zidane did two or three years ago (i cant remember!) during the Champ's League final. His matching winning goal, volleying the ball from the edge of the area, is what i would define a moment of absolute skill and pure genius, and from that one act alone, he fully justified the gazzillions of dollars they spent on him.

Now, if only those rumours 3-4 year ago that Zidane was coming to Liverpool were through. *Sigh*
