Did i say it, or did i say it. That boy Ronaldo showed up for Wednesday's game in Portugal, and United are moving onto the Semi-Finals. Manchester United played a pretty solid game, as did Porto but in the end Ronaldo's "Howitzer" in the 6th minute was enough to do the Job for United. Manchester United triumphed also because of a much more convincing defensive effort. Rio Ferdinand was back from injury along with Dimitar Bervatov, and the change from the first leg was evident from the very first minute. However the game was close. Both Man U and Porto had a number of shots on goal and on another day the game could have gone Porto's way. The Arsenal vs. Villarreal game also played out as i thought it would, with Arsenal winning 3-0 at the Emirates.
So we have Chelsea, Barcelona, Arsenal, and Manchester United in the Semi-Finals. To be totally honest i feel like all the best football was in the Quarterfinals and it wont get much better in the Semi-Finals or even in the Final in Rome, but i could be wrong. Here is how the Semi-Final Games look

Arsenal vs. Manchester United @ The Emirates

I have a feeling that we are gonna see the same final that we did last year. Manchester United can definatly handle Arsenal, and im pretty sure that Chelsea will get past Barcelona if the can pull their defence together.
