Gunners fired down Milan


Just check the preview trailer before reading this.How much hipe and tension involved in this game.

AC Milan

  • Seven time UEFA Champions League winners
  • Four time finalists
  • The defending Champions of UEFA Champions league
  • Never lost at home in all European matches in the recent past
  • Never lost in the second round of this competition
  • Their home ground San Siro is their Castle and no English club have ever beaten them here.

All these stats and facts were done and dusted by Gunners in their own home ground in what turned out to be the best performance Arsenal ever produced in the European cup.As everyone knows Arsenal plays the most stylish football in Europe and on a given day they can outclass any team in the world.Full credit goes to Arsene Wenger who built a new young team and have tremendous confident in them.I could somehow relate this Arsenal's win to the India's series win against mighty Aussies in the CB series.In both occasions the really young team managed to thrash the mighty giants in their own battle field.Its good to see youngstars coming so good these days and the visibility and platform they get to improve themselves.

Arsenal came to this match with lot of pressure being lost in the FA cup and the carling cup.But the young gunners held on to their nerves and got a famous win beating the defending champions.Fabregas proved that he is one of the best midfielders in the world currently with a stunning goal in the 84th minute.Though he was bit sloppy in the first 10 mins he came good after that and masterminded each and every Arsenal attack.Adebayor scored the second goal in the stoppish time and he really deserved the goal coz he mesmerised the Milan defense all through the game.Senderos was a real surprise in this match and he played one of the best games of the season, he proved all his critics wrong with a superb defensive display.All the players stood up to the occasion when needed and fired the whole Milan team down.

I really enjoyed each and every moment of the game, even though the coverage in TenSports sucks to the core.I wish they carry on this win throughout the league and win the most coveted cup this time around.

:( i was in a shock. My 1st team is out.

Arsenal played better than Milan, but they r still not good enough for Man Utd.

They will take Europe this time around.

the comparison is too good here.. Australian cricket vs Milan Soccer.. Australia has more or less the same team that has won 3 world cups for them.. but do they expect to win another 3 with the same team???
Although I wouldnt say both Aus and Milan should suddenly go for renovation, an injection of atleast 50% youth should take place, enough to make the side expereinced as well as competitive. At the same time dont throw the seniors.. rotate them for different matches.. that way they ll also serve u longer.. the clear difference in Milan vs Arsenal was that the Milan players ran a total of 109 km on the field while Arsenal ran a total of 115 km..

Full credit to Arsenal and India, may Arsenal go on to beat Man U a Old Trafford again !
