Alan Smith, and the rest of the Devils, achieved one of the greatest victories in the club's illustrious history yesterday: a 7-1 thrashing of Roma. Welcome back Smudge, you deserve all the glory you are basking in today. Also, full praise goes to C-Ron and Rooney (who I said would come up big in this game in my last post). They both played extremely well, but the player of the match was Michael Carrick. Out of no where, the pass-master became the Predator. Also, if you look back to my post from April 4th, you will see that I said that Totti has a tendency to not show up in big games. Yesterday, the Greater Manchester Police received a missing person's claim for a man named Francesco Totti, but I'll get into all of this more in my reaction of the Quarterfinals tomorrow. Now for my predictions of the day:Bayern v. AC Milan: Now, I know from personal experience that German fans are crazy. I was one of maybe 2,000 Ecuadorians in the Olympiastadion in Berlin to watch the demolition job that Germany put on Ecuador. Now, what does that have to do with this game? Well, Bayern have the away goal advantage, and when those LOUD fans start to get under the skin of the Rosioneri; there will be no turning back. BAYERN advance to play Manchester United in the semis, setting up a rematch of the thrilling '99 final; where Ole Gunnar Solskjaer won the game for the Manchurians in stoppage time.
Liverpool v. PSV: They don't even need to play this game. Liverpool already have 3 away goals. Liverpool advance to play Chelsea, setting up a rematch of the 05 semi final, where Liverpool one the first leg at home, and forced a draw at the Bridge.
Come back tomorrow for all the reaction from the quarterfinals and a preview of the semifinals.
