Game 1
1. AC Milan vs. Tottenham
2. AC Milan= Christian Abbitati; Tottenham= Gomes
3. AC Milan= 4-3-3; Tottenham=4-4-2
4. From watchin the highlights, Abbitati had an incredible save. The shot was going to go upper 90. Overall from the highlights, Gomes played a solid game sealing the game's shutout for the Hotspurs, but Abbitati kept AC Milan in the game.
5. AC Milan and Tottenham both had good movement, but the Hotspurs seemed to control the game for the most part. AC wasn't playing as well as they should have.
6. 1-0 Tottenham
7. From the highlights, Abbitati's upper 90 save was pretty incredible; however, Gomes did seal the shut out and that was a good, solid win for Tottenham.
8. I think an interesting topic dealing with this game is AC Milan's captaingennaro Gattuso was charged with gross unsporting conduct. He will suffer a lengthy ban that has yet to be decided by UEFA, but he headbutted Tottenham's coach, Joe Jordan. You can go to http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story/_/id/881629/gennaro-gattuso-charged-with-gross-unsporting-conduct?cc=5901 if you would like to read more on it. It's pretty sad that a captain was so disrespectful and acted out of control because of his anger from losing.
Game 2
1. Arsenal vs. Barcelona
2. Arsenal= Szczesny; Barcelona= Victor Valdes
3. Arsenal= 4-2-3-1; Barcelona= 4-3-3
4. Valdes had an excellent save in the first 8 minutes. Valdes did well but of course, didn't get the full shutout sadly. However, both keepers played well, but Valdes was under a lot of pressure with Arsenal down his throat.
5. Barcelona had some good movement but Arsenal seemed really goal hungry. They were eager to score and nothing was going to stand in their way. They had many opportunities to finish, they should have scored more.
6. 2-1 Arsenal
7. I think I would have to pick Valdes as my favorite player because some of the saves he made in this game were world class saves, and I was very impressed and admired that, despite the score.
8. This was a big win for Arsenal, they claimed a good comeback in the final minutes of the game which was impressive, and you could tell that they really wanted this win against a great team.

Chelsea vs. Fullham (February 14, 2011 @ 3pm)
Of course being a Chelsea fan, I was disappointed in Chelsea's performance, but I can always count on Cech to make a great save when needed. In the 93rd minute, he stopped Fullham's and U.S. National Team Striker, Clint Dempsey's Penalty Kick to keep Chelsea from losing the game. Torres missed many chances to score. Ancelotti decided to take out Drogba when nothing was being done alongside Torres. Overall, Chelsea had the most control of the game and should have finished a lot of goals, but they failed. They are a disappointment right now and should be playing better, but like I said before, at least I can count on Cech to keep the boys in the game. The game resulted in a 0-0 draw.
