Real Madrid 0 - 1 Arsenal

Arsenal were simply superb tonight. As I had hoped the position of underdog gave them a ton of heart. Arsenal's lack of midfield bite didn't matter because Real had the same problem. Arsenal were intercepting passes well with Fabregas playing out of his skin. Fellow Spaniard Reyes also looked happy to be playing in his native Spain. Arsenal's three best players were Fabregas, Henry and Reyes but the other 8 players were not far behind. At times they played Real off of the park and made Real look very unReal.

So that's 50% of the job done. If Arsenal hold their nerve they should be able to finish off Real at home. Could this be Arsenal's finest hour? Just when they were being written off too...
