This week's first semi-final of the Champion's League brought a huge surprise. Barcelona was humiliated by Inter 3-1. Meanwhile, Arjen Robben scored again for Bayern Munich to beat Lyon 1-0 in the Aliianz Arena. At this point, nobody knows what is going to happen in the Champion's League. Most people thought Barcelona could win the cup again, but Inter and Robben created doubts.
The match between Barcelona and Inter was also a match between Ibrahimovic and Eto because they were both playing for their old clubs. Neither of them did very well, but Ibrahimovic did worse. Ibrahimovic has been having a poor season, and I think that Guardiola regrets trading Eto for Ibrahimovic. Even though Barcelona went ahead, the failed to stop Sneijder who scored one goal and set up another. Barcelona still has a strong chance of moving on, but Inter is a very tough team, and they have to score at least two goals.
The other match between Bayern Munich and Lyon belonged to Robben. Ribery received a red card at the start of the match. Apart from being in a poor form, Ribery might go to jail for a sex scandal with a minor. Meanwhile, Arjen Robben has been playing very well, and has scored Bayern's most important goals this season. He is in excellent form and has many expectations for the World Cup.
Real Madrid regret selling Robben and Wesley Sneijder because they were both able to achieve what Real Madrid failed to do this season, reach the Champion's League semi final, score against Barcelona, and score against Lyon. Maybe the millions of Euros Real Madrid invested actually made the squad worse for the Champion's League? La Liga has been great for Real, but the Champion's was a disappointment.
This is also great news for Holland because their players are in a great form just before the World Cup. They also recovered Van Persie. Holland has a great team, and if the players keep playing like they are playing this way, I think that Holland can improve Johan Cruyff's golden age, and bring the Cup to Holland for the first time.
