Champions League Semis: Schalke vs Manchester United Recap (1st Leg)
0 – 2
Schalke vs Manchester United
I guess I could be right when I said that Manuel Neuer could be the next Van der Sar (also, I didn’t realize he was the captain). He made a lot of awesome saves, denying Man U’s dangerous scoring attempts from Rooney, Giggs, etal. He’s probably the main reason the score was still 0-0 by half-time.

But after 67 minutes of deadlock, Man U finally beat Neuer when Ryan Giggs found the back of the net from a set up by Wayne Rooney. And two minutes later, Rooney scored another one, this time from a set up from Javier Hernandez. Well, Neuer held it off for as long as he could. Schalke’s defense just exposed their keeper one too many times in this match. I’m surprised that Man U didn’t score more than two.
I was hoping for Schalke to pull off another 5-2 kind of win against the Red Devils. But Man U’s defense was just pretty solid, neutralizing any attempts from Schalke.
Jersey swap watch: Saw Raul swap jerseys with Giggs after the match. Raul had hoped to swap jerseys with Giggs and actually said so prior to the match. Neuer approached Giggs afterwards, I think he may have asked for a jersey too, but I’m only just guessing, hehe. This is one of my favourite parts of the game, the minutes after the final whistle blows when players take off their shirts, swap jerseys… I wish the camera/coverage would be a bit longer during this part.

On an unrelated note… I’ve been wondering why Christoph Metzelder was wearing a mask when I saw their previous games. Apparently he broke his nose… for the 4th time. Too bad, though, coz without the mask, he’s kinda hot J

Man Utd a step closer to Champions League final
Champions League Semis: Schalke vs Manchester United (1st Leg)
Schalke vs Manchester United (1st Leg)
April 27 @ 2:30AM
Edwin Van der Sar, one of Man U’s dependable figures, chases one last Champions League glory. The 40 year-old Dutch goalie is set to retire after this season. But will an old foe, in the person of Raul, stand in his way? I love how eufa.com calls them the “two golden oldies” but it kinda makes me feel old as when I started to follow football and the Champions League, these two “golden oldies” were at the heights of their careers. Now they are at their twilight (why do I sound so poetic today??? I almost typed in “the epic battle” to describe this match… I think I’ve watched too many Barney scenes in HIMYM).
Man U are the match favorites with their Ryan Giggs (another “golden oldie”), Van der Sar, Wayne Rooney, Javier Hernandez and the iconic Sir Alex Ferguson. But I will be rooting for Schalke. This may be Schalke's first ever trip to the Champions League semi-finals but, who knows, maybe they could stage another surprising upset like they did with their 5-2 victory against the defending champions, Inter Milan (and to think it was an away game).
I like Schalke coach Ralf Rangnick’s outlook, he says, “Who knows how many of these players will play in a match like this in the coming years? The same goes for me. This is my biggest game so far judging by the attention it is getting in general and from the media. Surely, over the course of these two games, Manchester have more to lose than us. We have to stay focused but also enjoy this.”
With all this talk of golden oldies, let’s now take a look at the up-and-coming players. Could Schalke’s Manuel Neuer be the next Van der Sar?

Interesting fact: Raul may have scored 71 Champions League goals and he's a serious threat to defense (scoring a goal every two games), but he has never scored against Van der Sar in the competition. Another interesting fact, Sir Alex Ferguson wanted to sign Raul when he left Real Madrid. But because Raul already had some sort of verbal agreement with Schalke, he turned down Man U’s offer (coz he’s classy that way :P).

Champions League QF: Chelsea vs Manchester United Recap (1st Leg)
1 – 2
Chelsea vs Manchester United
Javier Fernandez scores Man U’s 1st goal during the 1st half. Didier Drogba equalizes in the 2nd half but just seconds after, Man U strikes back with Park Ji Sung scoring the 2nd goal.
I never really paid much attention to the English teams. I had this unfounded perception that Chelsea is one of the weaker teams (as they just seem to coast thru Round of 16 ). But now, looking at their squad, they actually have a lot of strong attacking players. You have Fernando Torres, Didier Drogba, Nikolas Anelka, Frank Lampard, etc. How come they don’t score a lot of goals? I know I didn’t watch their games, especially in the group stage, but didn’t they have draws or 1-0 wins?
According to the commentator, Carlo Ancelloti seems “to be struggling to find the right combination of strikers, ever since Torres came in as it changed the whole team dynamics.” Is he like the “Beckham” of Real Madrid? (Remember the club’s Galacticos era where they put in too much money on the offense with Figo, Ronaldo, Zidane, Raul, etc. and not much on defense. And after signing Beckham they haven’t won the Champions League ever since).
I also wondered what the logic behind substituting Torres just before the 1st half ended was? It’s kinda early to make substitutions unless it’s because of an injury. If it wasn’t, then that must really affect Torres’ confidence level with his “goal-drought” problem. Won’t things like not being one of starting players and being substituted too soon makes you think the coach doesn’t have confidence in you? But then again, he is a professional player, so I guess, that comes with the territory. I feel bad for him, all this pressure. He really needs to work with the team.
Chelsea seems to be under-playing their potential. Is it because there is no team fluidity? (for me, it doesn’t really mean much if you have all the best players in the world but if they don’t know how to play together, you won’t the best team).
So we say good bye to Chelsea as Man U moves on to the semi-finals.

Chelsea vs Manchester United – 2nd Leg
April 13 @ (Balls Channel)
The only match during the 1st Leg that ended with a low goal difference, this gives Chelsea Chelsea
But it won’t be that easy for Chelsea Chelsea Chelsea
For the win:
Except for a 1 - 0 (in their favor), Chelsea just needs to score at least one more than the Man U, but the more goals they can produce, the better as these will be valuable away goals in case the final aggregate score will end on a tie.
At the very least, a draw can qualify to the next round

Highlighted in yellow means that that team will will proceed to the Quarter finals. Pink means the aggregate score as well as the number of away goals is a tie, so I dunno if they'll do extra time, shoot out or coin toss...
