Cesc Fever – Come on gunners you are going all the way this time.
Go arsenal! go arsenal! go arsenal! For what had been one of the most boring games I’ve ever seen Arsenal FC play in their entire life time, it took one blazing shot from Fabregas to change that all. The thunderous strike in the 84th minute from the young midfielder had me jumping out of my couch. I was sure this was going into over time and into the penalties eventually. Most part of the game had me yawning; I honestly didn’t think there was anything special about the entire game.
But Cesc brought about a great inspiration for every arsenal fc fan out there. It was one of those feelings that game you new hope. I’ve always seen arsenal as the underdogs in the European competitions and playing against AC Milan away at San Siro was big challenge. To be honest with you I was hoping they would do well in the in the penalties and this would be the end it. So you can image how happy I was when Fabregas hit that in, twenty five yards out, who would have though of about that.
And to finish things off I think it was a brilliant play by Theo Wallcott to cross the ball for Adebayor to tap it in gently. What started out as a below average performance from the gunners ended in one of my favorite games of all times, closing the door on the last year’s Champion’s League Winners.
I would also like to add that I think Manuel Almunia held his nerves through out with Kaka and Pato going at the goal at him. He had a lot to do with to keep arsenal in the game till that late.

I guess its good that they won. Liverpool got tired playing Milan in the final. Plus, now that they have two cups to focus on they’ll probably end up losing both. If they had lost all their attention would’ve turned to the premier league. So, its not all bad.
