Champions League Match Preview Bayern Munich Vs Olympique Lyonais:Players Vs Players

Arjen Robben Vs Aly Cissokho:

Arjen Robben(Expected rating-8.5):He is looking like a dream for the German giants as he was able to rescue them still now with his goals against Fiorentina and Manchester United against in the knockout and quarter final rounds respectively.He will be a great threat to the French club as he scored the only goal against them in the 1-0 first leg victory.He had already scored 14 goals for Bayern this season.He will be the key for the Germans for win as Frank Ribery will be absent due to suspension.
Aly Cissokho(Expected rating-7):The French left back will be the one who will be against Bayern magic Robben.In the first leg the left back played well to stop Robben.Their team is struggling a bit in their league as they are currently positioned 5th.But in Champions league this is the third time their through to the semis.In their way to the semi finals they had knocked out Real Madrid and Bordeaux.
Lisandro Lopez Vs Daniel Van Buyten:

Lisandro Lopez(Expected rating-9):If Lyon want to go through to the finals then their ace Lisandro Lopez will have to strike.This former Porto player had scored 12 goals this season.He will be the key player for the French side in this second leg encounter.

Daniel Van Buyten(Expected rating-7.5):This central defender will may be busy in the night as he will be against high flying Lopez.He is always in the heart of Bayern defence and also known for scoring from set pieces.He had scored 6 goals so far this season.

Hugo Lloris Vs Hans Jorg Butt:
Hugo Loris(Expected rating-8):The only one who can send Lyon through to the finals is him as the keeper looked to be in his prime form of the life.He was the one who denied Bordeaux from scoring the second goal in the second leg of the quarter finals which helped them to go through.
Hans Jorg Butt(Expected rating-7):He will be another key factor for the Bavarians as Van Buyten and Demichelis are doubtful for this encounter.He did a huge mistake in the match against Manchester United which cost them the match although they get through.

Mark van Bommel Vs Jean Makoun:

Mark van Bommel(Excepted rating-7.5):He is the captain of the reds and will play a great role in the midfield battle.He had scored the first goal against Fiorentina in the second round of the knockout round.He will be assisted by his German team mate Bastian Schweinsteiger.

Jean Makoun(Expected rating-7):Makoun will be at the center of the Lyon midfield and will play a huge role in holding the possession.This Cameroon player will play a role of play maker along with Delgardo.

Arsenal wasn't able to stop the magical Messi as Barcelona won 4-1 on the night to go through to the semis of the Champions League

Tuesday, April 6, 2010

The second leg of the Champions League was played at Camp Nou in between Barcelona and Arsenal which was quite one sided as the magical Messi grabbed all 4 goals in their 4-1 victory to put the Catalans through to the semi.
It was quite a bit surprise from the beginning as Barca coach Guardiola again left Thiery Henry on the bench and started with Bojan replacing Ibrahimovic and having Gabriel Millito,Rafael Marquez
and Abidal as the changes from the first leg.For Gunners the changes are Theo Walcott,Mikael Silvester and Denilson replacing the injured Fabregas,Gallas and Song.
After the first leg finished with a 2-2 draw the Spanish club began the game with having 2 away goal advantages.They started dominating from the first minute and it took less then 10 minutes to create their first goal which was stopped by Almunia.
But surprisingly it was the English club who started the scoring as Nicklas Bendtner scored on his second attempt with the assist from Theo Wallcot which surpasses Victor Valdes with ease.
The defending champions came back just after three minutes to equalize as the Argentine striker Messi scored from far distance out by getting the ball from Mikael Silvester.
The English side was on tremendous pressure as they hardly created any chances after their first goal.Lionel Messi took advantage of the pressure and netted the ball again on 37 minute with the
pass from Pedro.
The Argentine scored his hat-trick just before half time as he find himself through the English defence on the 42 minutes.
Coming from the dressing room after the first half it was still Messi who was looking unstoppable.The Gunners tried hard to create any opportunity but it was their keeper who remain bussy most the time.
On the 85th minute Rosicky got a free header from the Dibay cross which had gone as a waste.Messi proved again why he is the best in the world as he scored his fourth of the night on the 88th minute by putting the ball into the net through the legs of Almunia.
On the end of the night the Spaniard won it 4-1 and go through to the semis with an aggregate of 6-3.

Match preview Barcelona Vs Arsenal:If Gunners want to go through Arsavin and Nasri will need to strike

Monday, April 5, 2010

In the Champions League quarter final second leg clash between Arsenal and Barcelona, Samir Nasri and Andrey Arshavin will be key to win if Gunners want to get through to semis.On the absence of captain Fabregas and Alex Song all the pressure will be on these two aces.Injuries are not only worrying the English side but also the Catalans.
The Spanish side will miss their front man Zlatan Ibrahimovic due to injury who scored their 2 goals in the first leg and defenders Gerard Pique and Puyol due to suspension.In the first leg Arsenal was however able to draw the match on 2-2 after losing two away goals to Spanish side.But at home it will be very difficult to beat the defending champions Barcelona.
Arsenal will have tremendous pressure on them as,if they will not be able to score the Catalans will go through on the away goals.In the other hand they will try to gain revenge of the defeat they suffer in 2006 Champions League final.Looking at the form of both teams on their respective league it will be very difficult to say who will have an advantage.

Technicality-
Barcelona-The Spanish side is coached by Pepe Guardiola who will prefer 4-3-3 formation which is their basic formation.The game will be mainly controlled by the midfielders like Xavi,Iniesta and Dani Alves.But their front looks even more stronger then the English side as they have worlds best player Messi and Thiery Henry who will face his former club.
