PSG 2 Arsenal 2
With a chance count of 27-14 and the superior shooters, i believe we did enough to win the game, but we may as well play with our second string keeper. 3rd game in a row we have conceded from 1st shot faced, and again conceded 2 from only 8 shots faced. Really have no idea what to change to stop this happening.
Fortunately we managed to claw back level, and were unlucky to have a winning goal disallowed. Still everything to play for.

PSG 2 - 2 Arsenal

To go two up against a very good sign, despite the stats shows we have the ability to cause the better sides in the game problems as we showed today. To have lost it would be have been harsh after making the two goal lead but so is the strength of their roster that we knew they had the ability to get back into as they showed. Ironic that the goals scored from us are by two players who will be leaving us at the end of the season.

Second leg at home and locked at 2-2, it should be another good game between the two sides with the prize of place in the final at stake.

Played Ed, see you in the second leg.

Real Madrid 2 Barcelona 1

Advantage Real after what was a closely fought 1st leg. We scored early but fair play to Real they threw the kitchen sink at us throughout and have their noses in front for the return at Camp Nou. A reward for their positivity.

We went into the game determined to still be in the tie for the return leg and we've managed to do that. In hindsight we possibly set up too cautiously but you have to respect Madrid's firepower especially at their gaff.

Couple of games to play before the return leg next week so we'll have to keep an eye on things to try and ensure we're as close to full strength as possible - we're going to need all of our big guns available and a top class performance from them to get ourselves through this tie and into the final.

Real Madrid 2 - 1 Barcelona

It might be advantage Real. But all it takes is one goal for it to be deuce and effectively advantage Barca with them on home turf in the 2nd leg. This is the slimest of leads and to be truthful we aimed for more. I will have taken a lead before the game though for sure and we go into the 2nd leg confident we are the better side and can win again.
