C'mon Benfica, almost there.
You are right. However they should have kept it at least the last 5-10 minutes.

Meh. Still proud of the boys.
If only we'd have scored one in the first game!

Shame for Arsenal, valiant fightback but they fell short. RVP's miss was the turning point. He was pretty bad by his standards and so was Walcott. Shame Ox had to leave the pitch, him and Rosicky really were the heart of Arsenal tonight.
True, Milan had to fight the ref a bit, good of them to come through despite it.

Gunners be proud, great performance, nearly pulled a Deportivo comeback. Though I would be disappointed with the lack of urgency in the last 5-10 minutes. Overall though it was an awesome game. ChampionsLeague Knockout stages are just so entertaining.

lol @ people cursing arsenal's luck. we missed a couple of complete sitters and their goals were all clear defensive errors. 3-0 was a very flattering scoreline.
i'm proud of arsenal though, they showed a lot of heart. i wish that milan can have a better attitude going forwarrd.
edit: people are complaining about the ref? wtf? i thought he did an exceptional job, except for his decisions not to card a couple of arsenal players for malicious fouls and his decision to give arsenal a goal kick and yellow card nocerino and zlatan. everything else was well done though.

I thought he was quite good until the last 15 minutes when he began to hold on to the ball a bit too much.
He received literally zero service all game.

It's over, 2-0.
Good job guys.
Good job guys.
As a HUGE Ibra fan, who has followed him since his Malmo days, I gotta say this is his worst performance I've ever seen from him.
The LAZYNESS. The total lack of will to do anything. And, the incredibly sloppy passing in times where Milan needs to keep the ball.
Didn't put a shift in at all. He gets blame for being lazy in matches where he's moving a lot, but today he totally lacked will to play. I can't understand how he thinks. He looked like a 38 year-old ready to put his shoes on the shelf.

Honestly, we played like shit today, and it's not the first time this season. If the next two CL matches are gonna be like this, it's better for us to quit now, we didn't deserve this. We were so close to implode.
Great match back at San Siro and all, but today was awful.

Arsenal definitely top seeds for the Moral Cup.

Ibra needs both field to play and you leaving him field to play. He's usually quite the ghost against teams who want to play football against Milan.
Yep, 2-0.
0-2. Mata even missed a pk.
Stating facts is crying now?
Most consistent team deserves to be first, which is Milan.

Tonight Chelsea actually resembled a team in some aspects. Mata is a top player, shouldn't take pens though. Meireles delivering one of his smashing efforts which e haven't really got to see since he joined. Torres with a few moments though overall poor. His ball to Danny was a beut and he should of put it away for 3-0.
Last night I predicted we'd turn up and win 3-0. Wasn't far off.
Bobby Di! AVB anger slightly eased.

Abate impressed me today, good player that.
Sturridge missed a tap in as well.
You mean they're above Man City?!

Nice match. But Benfica... Y U DON'T LET CARDOZO SCORE.
He missed some very good opportunities
If Van Persie hadn't tried to chip Abbiati they'd have gone to extra time. Perfect result for a Spurs fan, they came so close but failed and picked up several inuries. Great effort though, fair play to Wenger for going for it, even if he risked their league position. They have shown great character in the last two weeks
Oh god. You missed one sitter, so did they. And the ref was ATROCIOUS. Absolutely awful.

I thought Ox and Rosicky were outstanding. Fair play to Arsenal tonight.
