You haven’t won the Champions League. Hell, I want you to fail miserably against Barcelona of course. A lot of work needs to be done still.

Today though, you can rejoice. It has been a miserable season so far and you deserve all the happiness. Jenns Lehmann - what a hero!

Update: Can Arsenal be kings of Europe? Sky asks and fans answer.

Arsenal being the only English club left in the Champions League, almost every one in England is hoping for an Arsenal victory. Check out what the papers say here. One person who has more at stake than your normal fan is an anonymous Arsenal Fan. Reports The Sun:

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:

Will it be a memorable Champions League for Barca? I am certainly backing Barcelona to go all the way. Go Barca!
