0 - 0 DRAWIntense match in Lisbon between local side Benfica & Spanish team Barcelona in the 1º leg of the European Cup quarter finals . The visitors missed plenty of goal chances - 2 posts - to really sink the sword into the Portuguese team, which lifted towards the end with lots of strenght .
This is a good result for Barca as it will enjoy the home advantage for the 2º leg & the return of important palyers as Pujol & Marquez.
Arsenal 2 - Juventus 0In the other European Cup 1º leg match in London between Arsenal & Italian team Juventus, the story was different as Arsenal won in a great game full of action. The man of the match , I my opinion was 18 year old Spanish International Cesc Febregas, who scored the 1º goal & set up the 2º for Thierry Henry. This match confirmed Cesc as a true revelation & excellent mid-field player with vision & intelligent play. This guy is a real diamond folks!!!
Its going to be tough for Juve at home , but never , never underestimate " the old lady" in Euro Competition & specially on its home turf. Tweet
