We are in the quarter-final of Champions League!
We managed to beat Porto at home 5:0, and doing it without Cesc, Gallas and RVP. Bendtner responded to his critics with a hat-trick, and its really good to see him hitting good form at this stage of the season, especially when our main striker is out. Arshavin had a good match, having three assists. Diaby and Song were reliable and solid. Nasri had yet another good game in the central midfield, scoring a wonderful goal after dribbling pass a few Porto defenders. I had always wanted to see how Nasri fare in central midfield, especially in Cesc’s position. Looks like we are having more options in the central midfield now.
Eboue had a good match too, scoring the forth goal and earned the penalty for the fifth. The forth goal was a classic Arsenal’s counter-attack that we had not seen much ever since the invincibles were dismantled. You could see the reaction of Wenger for that goal. He seemed so excited that the lads were able to execute a swift and decisive counter attack just like the invincibles.
Mathematically, we just need to win another three matches to win the Champions League. Of course, it is not as simple as that. The opponents will be getting tougher. But if we are going to be champions, we are gonna beat everyone. Keep it up, gunners!
