admin — Fri, 09 May 2008 08:26:27 +0000

A lot of experts admit that Cristian Ronaldo is the best player in the world. However it’s still a fact that he is having a hard time in the really big matches. Remember the European Championship final 2004 against Greece or the World-Cup semi against France 2006?.

Also, he have never scored against Chelsea and in the last 20 league matches against Liverpool and Chelsea he has just scored one goal, that was in april beating Liverpool.

We believe that he has grown up at this point and will score at least one goal against Chelsea in the Champions League final. What’s your opinion?

Barca 0-0 Man U as Ronaldo misses Penalty

admin — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 22:22:37 +0000

Ronaldo had a chance to put United ahead after 2 minutes when Gabriel Milito handballed his header. However in a rare lapse he sidefooted his penalty wide and hit the post. He then had a blatant penalty turned down when he latched on to an errant pass from Andres Iniesta and Rafael Marquez got his body in the way bringing Ronaldo down in the box. The ref refused to give it though.

Barcelona dominated the match, having over 60% of the possession, but did nothing with it. Utd were good defensively with a reworked backline - with Wes Brown at centre-back and Owen Hargreaves filling in at right-back. Nemanja Vidic withdrew from the game due to a stomach problem.

Van der Sar did well to save a number of strikes, but nothing was too demanding for him. Most were from outside the penalty area.

In the end a 0-0 draw is not ideal, but it could be worse. Utd just have to keep up their good defense at home and score one goal.

Ronaldo scored his 28th premiership (38th overall) goal of the season today against Arsenal after a Gallas handball.

Arsenal took the lead with Adebayor’s goal on 48 minutes after he poked in Robin van Persie’s cross from close range. Ronaldo then made it 1-1 after 54 minutes from the penalty spot. He had to take the penalty twice, because of encroaching players, but he cooley slotted home against Lehmann the second time around.

Hargreaves curled in a great free-kick with 18 minutes left to win United the game.

Arsenal had some good moments, and Ferguson even admitted so himself, but united shone through and pushed towards the title.
