Arsenal and Barca into Champions League semis..

Hype, hype, hurray.. Both my favourite Arsenal and Barcelona are into semi finals of champions league.. In the semi-finals later this month, Barcelona will face AC Milan, while Arsenal takes on Villarreal. Hope both will win there semi and i will be lucky to see them in the finals. Thierry Henry's and Ronaldinho's presence in these teams makes these teams my favourite.

Match summary :
Arsenal-Juventus: 0-0
Arsenal’s young guns showed tremendous composure throughout the night as Arsenal moved into the semifinals of the Champions League for the first time with a gritty 0-0 draw at Juventus in Wednesday’s quarter-final, second-leg. The Londoners won the tie 2-0 aggregate triumph to spark off wild celebrations.

Barcelona-Benfica: 2-0
Ronaldinho had a penalty kick saved by Benfica goalkeeper Marcelo Moretto. Well Ronaldinho did ammend his mistake just minutes later when Samuel Eto’o excellent run-n-cross provided Ronaldinho with a simple goal in the 19th minute. Benfica didn’t posed much threat to Barcelona until the 60th minute when Simao failed to score with acre of space. Well that pretty much rounded up Benfica performance that night. Samuel Eto’o scored Barca 2nd goal to seal the game minutes before the final wistle.
