Manchester United 2 vs. Chelsea 1 (2nd Leg UCL)–The One Where Carlo Ancelloti is in trouble with the Roman Empire
The Korean Sensation
Like the first leg, this game was thrilling from end to end. Chelsea was looking for the win as they gambled with Fernando Torres starting over the lethal Didier Drogba. The game turned exciting late when Chelsea scored an equalizer and just needed one more goal to advance to the semi final, but they were caught with their pants down as Manchester United was back in the lead aminute after.
Shakhtar 0 vs. Barcelona 1 (2nd Leg UCL)–The One Where Barcelona Was All Business
I decided not to do a analysis on the first leg of this matchup because it was completely a one sided affair, and it seems hard to write an analysis that is full of praises at one team.
The second game was much closer compared to the first leg as Shakhtar pressured Barcelona’s defense. It was a gutsy performance by the Ukrainian side but alas, in the end, it was still a Barcelona victory

Chelsea 0 vs. Manchester United 1 (UCL 1st Leg)–The One Where Angry Rooney Caused Panic at Stamford Bridge
As I predicted, this match was the most competitive among all the quarter final matches. Both of these team are evenly matched from the defense to the offense, and usually a bad performance from 1 player is enough to separate both sides. And unfortunately this was the case, Bosingwa played an average game but he was caught sleeping in one moment and that led to the goal for the Red Devils. One thing that caught my eye is that the Red Devils were superior in the midfield as the ageless Ryan Giggs and Carrick pick apart the Chelsea Midfield with their slick passing and smart runs which was rewarded with the lone goal of the game, a nice lob pass to Giggs by Carrick and Giggs finding an open Rooney for the goal. And once again, Wayne Rooney proved again that (in my opinion) he is the best striker around, as he troubled the Chelsea defense with his size and strength and also his ability to find open teammates.

A Hungry Rooney is maybe, the best player in the world

Real Madrid 4 vs. Tottenham Hotspurs 0 (UCL 1st Leg)–The One Where Peter Crouch is the BIGGEST Loser
This game was done after the 15th minute, as Tottenham were only able to produce 1 good chance after Peter Crouch was sent off. As expected, Real Madrid was too much for Harry Redknapp’s boys as they were toy around by the Los Blancos. The 2nd half was like seeing an amateur team against a professional team as Tottenham did nothing offensively but defend to no avail as they conceded 4 goals.

Goodbye Crouch, Goodbye Spurs
Inter 2 vs. Schalke 5 (UCL 1st Leg)- The One Where Italian Defense is Now A Myth
I was in awe when I was watching this match, Schalke dominated the second half by pushing the ball on the flanks with no support from Inter’s attacking midfielders, it was left to Julio Cesar and his Defense to stop Schalke’s attack, which by the way, resulted to one of the worst defensive performance this season. Inter’s defense was unorganized, slow and was simply overpowered by the small Schalke’s offense. Raul turned back time and channeled his prime form, and Edu, the former Suwon Bluewing, was the best player in the game with 2 nice goals to his credit.

Italian defense, where!?!
