Barcelona are headed to the Champions League Final

After Barcelona tied with AC Milan today. Surprisingly, Barcelona put away no goals even though Milan put very little pressure on their defense. Although the game was scoreless, two yellow cards were handed out. One to Milan's Costacurta and Barcelona's Edmi­lson.


Because Barcelona won the first leg 1-0, they were able to advance to the finals where they will be playing against Arsenal. Based on stats, It is almost clear who is going to win this competition... Barcelona. With Arsenal having ups and downs in their season, their chances of beating LaLa Liga'ss1stt place team are very slim. Although Barcelona may feel the have the advantage to win this game, they have to be careful to not get to cocky as well as play a very strong and defensive game. The two key players to look out for will be Ronaldinho and Henry.

Man U recover quickly and face tough competition

Luckily for Man U, they beat the Hotspurs 2-1 yesterday after tieng last week against Sunderland. Rooney scored both goals for Man U and led them to another victory.


Next week on April 29th, Man U will play the Premiership's leaders, Chelsea. For Chelsea, if they win their next game it is almost guaranteed that they wilol win the league for the second year straight. Let's see if Liverpool can hold them off.

Ballack

Unfortunately for Bayern Munich, their chances (according to manager Uli Hoeness) of holding on to Ballack are very slim because it looks as if Ballack will join Chelsea in the summer. On the other hand, there is a slight issue: Ballack will increase the number of midfielders to 11 and, he may not recieve his number 13 which he holds as a Bayern Munich player and German national player.
