Heck, Reina nearly saved three.

So in the last four days Chelsea has been eliminated from the Champions League and all but killed its chance to win the Premiership.

I hate ManU, but this makes me happy too :lol:

[MPC]

i hate penalty kicks. :(

[USSoccer]

Both sides blew easy goals. Drogba putting a ball over the bar inside the 6 was about the most embarrasing thing I've seen in a long time, and Kuyt should have scored late in the 2nd extra time session. That was a weak shot considering the time and space he had.

 

But still, Didier Drogba putting the ball over inside the 6? I'm still just stunned at that.

 

I was kind of hoping it would come down to Robbie Fowler making the PK, but whatever.

 

I'm so glad Chelsea lost this game. Jose Mourinho drives me nuts. Anfield proved the difference. If the 2nd leg is at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea go through.

[Jon]

What a save in the 3rd minute.

 

The weather is certainly reminiscent of last year's final.

goaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaallllllllllllllllllllll

[Jon]

What a setup and shot by Kaka!

[soccer10k]

Kaka puts Milan in front.

 

I can't believe how hard the rain is coming down there.

 

This game is definitely going to be better than yesterday's game.

[soccer10k]

I like that Milan isn't taking its foot off the pedal and are still taking it to Man U. They got complacent last week and it cost them.

 

And it's 2-0 now.

[Jon]

What a goal!!

[Transmogrified Tiger]

This is very bad for Man U.

 

All goes back to the slip on the clearance.

[soccer10k]

Man U hasn't scored on the road against Milan in a long time (I don't remember exactly what he said) and now they need 2. Things looking bleak right now.

[Jon]

Man U still alive, but just barely.

[Jon]

Kaka so close to putting this one away.

 

And all of the sudden, Man U is showing some life.

[Jon]

They are getting closer and closer.

 

Man. Rooney was definitely pushed. AC Milan a bit lucky on that one.

Yeah. The ref very easily could have called that a penalty kick. Man U needs to put one in immediately.

[soccer10k]

I don't understand why one of the announcers keeps saying that a third Milan goal finishes the game when it doesn't. Man U would still need two goals. The only difference would be if Man U did get two goals, the game would go into extra time (if Milan had three opposed to two) rather than Man U winning.

[Jon]

That's two non-calls going against Rooney in the last five minutes.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Wow do I loathe Gattuso.

[soccer10k]

And there's a third for Gilardino.

[Jon]

Great way to cap off a huge night for AC Milan.

[soccer10k]

SHUT UP YOU STUPID ANNOUNCER. It doesn't end the game. Man U still only needs two goals you moron.

[Jon]

Gattuso is about to explode.

[soccer10k]

I'd love to see what Gattuso did there that got Scholes ticked off.

 

EDIT: And that retaliation by Ronaldo shows they are all but giving up as he would miss the final if by some miracle Man U comes back and gets two goals.
