UEFA Champions League 08-09 Semifinal: Manchester Defeated Arsenal 1-0

(This entry was originally published on Wednesday, April 29th, 2009)

It was a very one sided match in which Manchester united only dominated and in the end, won it by 1-0. They should have Scored at least four goals if not the goalkeeper of arsenal was in superb form tonight. He produced one after another saves and he at least saved 8 good shots. However, all is not lost for Arsenal because there is the second leg next week and the second leg will take place in their home ground. So, they have everything to play for because it is not a big lead for United.

In today’s match, I could not understand the game plan of Manchester united coach because he should have played Berbetov instead of Tevez. On the other hand, Arsenal coach was short of quality players because of injury problems. That is why Arsenal looked very weak but they could hang on and the supporters can dream of better performance next week at London.
