PinoyPS Fifa 11 League

Catching the first leg on the Saturday replay, it was obvious Messi
beat Real Madrid. On tonights meeting, Real Madrid beat up Messi.

Real Madrid's performance was unfortunate. Their passing, felt stuck
up. It was a team obvious of lack in chemistry. Lassana isn't the
Lassana Diara i applauded for before. Ronaldo pushed in the beginning
but could only push so far. Real's latest signings Kaka and Higuain
were hopefuls. Carvalho and Albiol were on a different flight.
Casillas was the only one exerting and stretching his efforts. Marcelo
played with desire.

Madrid pressed early on in the match but changed it's pace soon
enough. Higuain was rusty and could not meet Cristiano Ronaldo's
demands. Xavi Alonso wasn’t there. It was an empty first half.

Barcelona played well tonight. Comfort, familiarity and vision was
most evident in their passing. Iniesta's pass which Pedro completed
had Real's defense watching. Messi's presence on the ball was also
feared by Real's defense. Messi took a beating, or is this always?
Mascherano on the other hand was nominated, but failed to win the award.

Di Maria's shaky attempt was recovered by his assist to Marcelo. But a
sparky come back was not ignited.

Welcome back Eric Abidal! You are an inspiration.

Arsenal hosts Manchester United

18 minutes have gone and Arsenal have possesion. Wilshere scuba diving.

And Arsenal continues to deliver beautiful football. Fabio with a scare.

The better twin.

Good job by the ref blocking the pass. Commentator says, "he didn't
even look at the ball."

Sir Alex is complaining calls are not going their way, handball on
Vidic is suggested. Overlooked by our referee. Wilshere minutes ago
pulled Carrick's leg as they both went up. Whistle from the ref
without punishment. Wilshere is slowly becoming the naughty boy of
Arsenal. Ramsey for Fabregas??! Anytime!!!

Manchester United seems tired. Arsenal had all week to rest and have
nothing to lose tonight. Arsene Wenger to leave Arsenal?? Is the
stupidest idea "supporters" are calling for.

The ref makes a second touch on the ball tonight!!! Has failed to call
the handball a while ago!! And again disrupts Arsenal's run! Halftime.

Rooney's freekick gives a scare in the second half. That sound, after
the freekick was struck, sounded like the black toy Armalites when we
were younger. 52 mins. Ramsey had a chance and he knew it.

Manchester United a while ago were on the break. Arsenal again shaky
on defense. Nani throws a cross in the middle, Hernandez inches away
from heading it in!

AARON RAMSEY!!!!! ASSIST FROM CAPITAN ROBIN VAN PERSIE!!!! 56th
minute!!! Do not count Manchester out.

30 minutes left and heartbeats!!! Song makes a tackle and soon finds
he is in between 4 United players. The adrenalin! Minute by minute!!!
63. 64.

66 minutes and Evra asks for a penalty. Corner and the machine gun is
there again. Djourou is down. 67. As the replay suggests, it was a
looong 1-2 from Ramsey and Van Persie. Good for Ramsey to put up his
hands and ask for the ball from RVP. Squilacci replaces Djourou.

70 minutes gone and i feel exhaustion. 72 minutes and Van der Sar
plays it from outside the box. Passes it back to him and he cooly
passes back. I remember him at Fulham playing like this. Reyes? I
believe charged at him and scored. Not so cool. Berbatov for
Hernandez. And that Armalite is there again.

Rooney and his team were on a scare. Squilacci again. Szcesny saves!!!
Counter Arsenal and United defends. Van der Sar is there again playing
with the ball COOLY. Eboue for Walcott 78 mins.

80 minutes and the adrenalin starts pumping back. The shivers are
here, and the heartbeat, the heartbeats!!!

Arsenal on the break! Arshavin!!?? Van der Sar plays it COOLY again!
Do it again Edwin!!! 82 mins, Arshavin fouled by Fabio. The crowd is
roaring up! 83 minutes! Freekick... Good save from the Dutchman. My
throat hurts. 84 minutes, Owen for Carrick.

Arsenal has intercepted most of United's passing. Now Arshavin
tackles, Arsenal on the break. Cmon Arshavin catch it. 86 minutes and
hanging on.

87 mins and Owen drops in the box. Stomped on as seen on the replay. No
penalty. 87:51!!!! Sit down Sir Alex!! Again Arsenal with a chance!!!
Now its Szcesny who plays it cool. Teasing!!

89:22!!!!! Valencia cross!!! Armalite!!! Trarararara. Szcesny is
there! 90:16 with 4 minutes added time. I am speechless. The

game is not yet over and i cannot believe this. The roars are loud but not loud
enough. 91:45. Valencia continues to break on the right. 92:24!!!!!
Arsene looks at his watch. Sir Alex is standing up. 93:04 and Ramsey
gives away a freekick. Blocked! and cheers from the crowd. Still not
loud enough. 93:57. 94:11. The whistle is blown.

Chelsea is the biggest surprise. The crowd chants with pride. Aaron
Ramsey is the man. Manchester United is still Manchester United.
Arsenal performed.
