I just have to congratulate Manchester United and Chelsea on their qualification for the Champions League semi finals. It must be said Man U played magnificently against a Roma side that looked a shadow of the team from the first leg. It was United that did all the pressing and harrying and Roma just could not cope with it.

The pace of Man U’s attacks ripped Roma to shreds, their midfield struggled to cope with the loss of Perrotta, whereas United had no such problems without Scholes. In fact Carrick looked a much better player with the greater freedom afforded him by having Fletcher alongside him.

It was a result the Red Devils desperately needed to give them a confidence boost ahead of the title run-in. united must now fancy their chances against either Milan or Bayern in the semi, neither team look good enough to stop the Reds from reaching the final.

In fact an all English final must now be odds on to happen. With Liverpool almost certain to go through to face Chelsea the only uncertainty is Man U and on the strength of their two performances against Roma they have to be big favourites to reach the final.

Yes, there is definatly a chance.

With what Man Utd did last night to Roma they could easily get past the next stage playing like that again.

Then there's Liverpool tonight who are 3-0 up, well I just can't see PSV getting 3 or 4 goals at Anfield. Liverpool will then play Chelsea, Chelsea Vs Man U final again for anyone.

How weird would that be? When was the last time that two English teams met at the final of the european Cup

[Matt the Thrasher]

2 English teams have never met in the final of the Eurppean cup, though English teams have faced each other in the uefa cup final & it's predecessor the Fairs cup.

I can only think of 2 cases of teams from the same country being in the CL final , Milan v Juventus about 5 years ago & Real Madrid v Valencia a few years before that , there could have been others though

[goldenHuddlestone]

wasnt it Inter vs Ac 2 years ago

[Matt the Thrasher]

I think that was the semi in 2005 , Milan went on to lose to Liverpool in the final

[Stevens]

Yes but i think AC Milan will reach the final aND PLAY and loose to liverpool.

Lets hope for a repeat of the 2005 Champions League Final.

[Matt the Thrasher]

I've got a feeling it's going to be Chelsea's year

Chelsea v Milan final for me

[aisuru]

at the moment, i'm going with a Milan Liverpool final, with the Rossoneri taking it

[goldenHuddlestone]

I think it will be

Chelsea 3-3 Liverpool on aggregate with Chelsea winning on Pens

and

Manchester United 4-3 Ac Milan on aggregate

With a Chelsea vs Manchetser United final with Chelsea winning on Pen's after a 2-2 draw

Theres a good chance that we will see Chelsea and Man Utd facing each other In the Finals, Man Utd will take the Champions League either way.

You guys are doing the annoying thing now of struggling to win a game yet still winning. Grinding out results.

[Stevens]

I think it will be an AC Milan v Liverpool Final.

But very hard to call who will be in the final as both semi finals look very close and tough for either team to win.

Hi everybody! Where can i read the rules of this forum or something? I am blonde ;)

[toonmagic9]

if man u had a first choice back four then yes it could be an all english final, but heinze and brown couldn't handle sheffield utd so what chance do they have against kaka, inzaghi and co, especially as van der sar has lost all his confidence since he got a broken nose

[hubert]

Well Man Utd managed a 3-2 win against AC Milan, but the return leg will be a toughy.
Bobby McMahon on Fox sports out of Canada figures it will be a Liverpool/AC Milan final and he is sharp when it comes to fitba.
Myself I am hoping Man Utd can go through, and dont care who wins between Lverpool and Chelsea.

[toonmagic9]

looks like i was wrong they left it late but did it in the end, it appears to have cost htem though as evra is suspended and it was a gruelling game and i think they've got everton at the weekend

[goldenHuddlestone]

How about this year?

[toonmagic9]

don't see why not all the top four/five have strengthend and now have good strength in depth.

[goldenHuddlestone]

I really think Liverppol might have a shot this year

[toonmagic9]

they do look strong and seem to finally have strength in depth so worth a tenner i think

[23_Becks]

I dont think the English Club will be in final....

Real Madrid will go through to the final.....
