same too :(Sadly for the past 6 years, Real Madrid just cannot pass through last 16 and proceed to quarter-finals. I have nothing to comment for the past 5 editions as R Madrid need to finish 2nd leg at away from there. But this time round, they finally finished 2nd leg at home. Yet, they tarnished the chance. They had many chances to overturn the derelict, but did not and let the Lyon player to score a crucial equiliser aka away goal. Once Lyon did that, R Madrid need 2 more goals to qualify which was quite impossible for last 15 minutes unless Lyon's defence was shattered.
This shows that Lyon has quality to fight against strongest team like Man U, R Madrid etc......
What a shame for a star-studded team with C Ronaldo and Kaka.
This only proves that you don't need a team of stars to win a game.
Park and Fletcher had good games as well last night... Park especially, he stick to Pirlo like super glue until Pirlo couldn't play his "playmaker role" well at all... lol.

But team dynamic. It is important to communicate with each other in order to dominate the possession and win the match.
After depature of C Ronaldo, Man U work out on that. Despite the flops they had shown against Aston Villa, Everton, Sunderland, Leeds etc... Man U still demonstrates their strength of football by having good possession in order to win the crucial matches. Rooney, Valencia and PArk have finally find their strength to move on.
It's good to see United adding 2 more goals after Rooney was substituted. Otherwise, it'll be just another match that United won thanks to Rooney's brillance, which is a worrying sign.
Milan needs a major facelift. The golden oldies should step down, bring in some fresh young blood!
Gotta give credit to the assists for the goals too. All so inch perfect!
