I haven't watched a Champions League match in a while coz its so friggin hard to wake up at 2:30 in the morning. Liverpool's quarterfinal 2nd leg clash with Arsenal though was a very important game. So I made it a point to watch it. Luckily, I was able to wake up.
Arsenal struck first with a well created move. They strung around 20 passes and ended up with a chance for Diaby. He struck near post and scored. I dont know how Reina could be so careless. I wasn't in panic mode yet coz I knew how resilient Liverpool are. And they did strike back with an excellent placed header by Hyppia from a corner. 1st half ended at 1-1 which didnt give any advantage for any team. Ton woke up just in time to catch the 2nd half. We were texting the whole half. We went berserk when Fernando Torres struck an amazing rocket to the top corner of Almunia's goal. Advantage Liverpool. Just as Ton and I were celebrating, Theo Walcott ran half of the pitch leaving 4 Liverpool players behind him and layed it off to Adebayor for an easy goal. My heart was crushed. Just after a minute or two though, Ryan Babel made a run inside the Arsenal penalty box and seemed to tumble over being pursued by Toure. It was enough for a penalty for the referee. Steven Gerrard, drilled the penalty in the top corner. Advantage Liverpool again. The last few minutes were nervy. And finally, after a clearance from the Liverpool penalty box, Ryan Babel sealed it off by outrunning the last man, Cesc Fabregas, and tucked in the final blow. Ton and I were friggin goin wild! Liverpool go through to the semis where they face another English club, Chelsea. BRING IT ON!!!
