I thought of so many titles for this post today:
Demolition of Roma
The Roman's defense blown apart
The Annihilation of the Romans
The Romans Subdued
Oh, I could go on but the fact remains that Manchester United has slaughtered Roma 7-1 at the Theatre of Dreams in the Champions League second leg quarter-Finals. It was probably a nightmare for Roma. Man U went through the semi-final with an aggregate score of 8-3 with what truly be their finest performance on a European night this season or ever!
When Man U lost their last two matches (against Roma last Wed and Portsmouth in the League on Saturday), critics was quick to say that Man U’s season may be over and that they could be in jeopardy of not advancing in the champion’s league or even winning the title. As a Man U supporter, I have to admit that it made me pretty nervous. It was like 1999 all over again where every match I have followed was a nail-biting moment. But after seeing the team performed earlier this morning and some of them are not even the first choice players, you know that Man U really want to bring the silverwares back to Old Trafford. The game was simply exhilarating!
The interrupted sleep and forgoing my run this morning (I had to sleep after the watching the match, else I will be all cranky at work) was totally worth it! I could not believe my eyes when Man U was scoring goals like it was a shooting practice. I thought I was dreaming. The goals were coming from all over the park. You can barely blink because you just might miss a goal being scored. The score line is truly unbelievable: Man U 7 – Roman 1. I still could not get over it. I have to watch the repeat telecast tonight to be sure.
With six games left in the Premiership, I think Man U is back to their winning ways. Those losses at Rome and Fratton Park are setbacks. Although I am not looking forward to the end of the season but I am looking forward to watching all the remaining matches that Man U will be playing, even if I will be biting my nails each time.
