This Sunday a major soccer game happen, Ac Milan played Inter de Milan and this game was known as a derby match, because they were arch-rivals. This match would decide a lot because if Inter won they would be crowned champions of the italian league and if Milan won they would bump up to 4th place and would be in the Pre-UEFA Champions league zone, but Milan also counted on Calgiari winning Fiorentina who were 2 points ahead of them. This match started really and for me to watch it I had to wake up at 6:30 am because the game started at 7:00 am. Boy was I tired because the night before I slept at 1:30 am. After being fully awake the game started. I was so nervous and I was getting really anxious for the first goal. Surprisingly Milan started of dominating the game something no one expected. The first chance came when Kaka(best player ever) made a pass that any player would die, it split the defense. Inzaghi received the ball smoothly with no problems, and kicked to the goal but for Inter’ luck Julio Cesar their goalkeeper saved. Everyone who cheered for Milan and were watching let out a disappointing ”ohh” including me. The game became more tense when Seedorf made a wondrous pass to Kaka who crossed it and Inzaghi let Milan fans down when he headed the ball and the ball slowly bounced out of bounds. It was sad to see it and my heart started beating faster then ever my eyes were glued to the game. The first half ended 0-0, Milan had pity for them because of that score. On the second half everything seemed the same Milan pressured and Inter defended. Something in those Milan players was amazing they ran from one side to the other, they wanted that game, you could see it. On the 51st minute a reward shook the nets, when Kaka obviously ran with the ball down the sideline and crossed it in and Inzaghi anticipated the Inter defenders and headed it in. Milan 1-0 Inter everyone roared with joy. I myself ran around so happy, I jumped up and down and could not contain my happiness. But yes it got better when 4 minutes later Kaka smoothly scored it with a gentle kick/tap around the keeper to the near post. Milan 2-0 Inter, it couldn’t get any better. Until Inter scored from a free kick hit by Julio Cruz. The game went on to end 2-1 for Milan. The other results also favored Milan, but not Inter, Fiorentina had lost to Calgiari 2-1 which bumped Milan to 4th place, Roma had won 3-0 against Sampdoria and were in 2nd place 3 points behind Inter. With 2-3 matches to go this got better and better for Milan and worst for Inter.

Today eight teams of the 16 teams played in The UEFA champions league knockout round of 16. This is how the knockout round works two teams play a home and away game for example lets say team A plays team B in team B’s stadium and they tie 1-1. Then in the next game team B tie’s with team A 2-2 in team A’s stadium that would qualify team B because of the away game rule so lets the final sum of the amount of goals equal 4-4 then whoever has the most goals in the other teams stadium would qualify. In the example game the final sum was 3-3, but since team B had more away goals(goals in the other teams stadium) they qualified. In the second game AC Milan needing a victory at home in the San Siro against Arsenal lost 2-0 qualifying the English team Arsenal. The goal scorers for Arsenal were Fabregas in the 83rd minute of the game with a good play that ended with a kick to the left side of Kalac the AC Milan’s Goalkeeper and Adebayor in the 89th minute of the second half with a soft left foot shot. In the other game Manchester United from in England faced Lyon after a 1-1 game in France, the Frenchman needing a 1-1 tie to at least go to penalties lost 1-0 after Cristiano Ronaldo foiled there plans after scoring the winning goal for Manchester United in the 41st minute. The next game was between Sevilla from Spain and Fenerbahce from Turkey in Spain. The Turkish team had won in Istanbul 3-2, but in this game Sevilla started of better and in the 5th minute of play Daniel Alves the Brazilian scored and right after Keita the other Sevilla man scored in the 9th minute. At this moment it seemed like Sevilla would be qualifying but at the 20th minute of the first half Deivid the Brazilian scored the the first goal for the Turkish team making it 2-1, but this result would still qualify the Spanish team because of the away goals, and on the 40th minute Kanoute made it 3-1 for the Spanish, but the Turkish team wasn’t out of it yet because all they needed know was one goal to take to the penalties and that was exactly what happened in the 78th minute Deivid scored that goal. Know the match went to penalties making this exiting game into one that would go down to history. Fenerbahce with more confidence won it 3-2 in penalties with three saves from the Turkish goalkeeper Volkan. The last game this Tuesday was between Barcelona from Spain and Celtic from Scotland, they were playing in Spain now and the Spanish had the advantage after winning 3-2 in Scotland with an amazing goal for the Barcelona side by the Frenchman Henry. The game started fast paced and with only two minutes of play Xavi passed it to Ronaldinho who passed to Slyvinho who crossed it and then Xavi pushed it in giving them the lead. The game continued and nothing changed but with the 1-0 Barcelona still qualified. Tomorrow the following teams play with each other, Real Madrid from Spain play Roma from Italy in Spain and the Italians got the advantage after winning 2-1 in Italy, next the English team Liverpool plays Inter de Milao from Italy in Italy after Liverpool won 2-0 in England, unfortunately that match was postponed till the 11th of March because the field is used and in bad conditions after the AC Milan game. Next the other English team Chelsea plays Olimpiacos from Greece in England after a 0-0 game in Greece. Last FC Porto from Portugal play Schalke 04 from Germany in Portugal after winning 1-0 at home in germany. The team i was cheering for was AC milan and they lost and were eliminated and that is really bad for me and know I will probably continue watching but with less excitement.
