Barcelona has seen through the possible Benfica scare winning the second leg 2-0. Not until the injury period goal by Eto’o, though, were Barca completely safe as Benfica could always have scored another one to enforce extra time and penalties. Too bad I sacrificed watching the game as I had work to attend to.
None of remaining Barca games in the Champions League will be missed be me. :) Arsenal too have qualified for the semis holding out in the second leg and thus upsetting Juventus. The semi final line up reads:
- Barcelona vs AC Milan
- Arsenal vs Villareal
Will it be a memorable Champions League for Barca? I am certainly backing Barcelona to go all the way. Go Barca!
[...] Barca overcame the Champions of England. They overcame the tough challenge of Benfica. They have now overcome the soon to be crowned Italian Champions. [...]
