Champions League 2008/2009

Tweet

With the first semi-final 1st leg between Chelsea and Barcelona, my conclusion from the first leg was that Barcelona have the upper hand. They committed less fouls on the night, and also created more shots on target by 19-3. To be fair to Chelsea Drogba had an open goal which was chipped directly to the Barcelona goal keeper. From this game I make Barcelona slight favourites to progress to the final. The other match involves an all English affair with Arsenal playing Manchester United. I have Manchester United favourites to perhaps win both legs and set up a final clash with either Barcelona or Chelsea. I think whilst Arsenal have a younger squad, it is Manchester United who have a slight edge as they have both young players as well as proven top class players. I am interested in hearing other people's views on this subject.
