I must be confused about the Ruud hat-trick, that must have happened in another game. Here's the highlights for anyone who's interested: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=31FOdoYKcEc Thanks Ferenc, I think that must be the game.

It was the first time I got the opportunity to really watch any club football, and it made such a lasting memory that I started following from that point forward. Man U had lost the first leg by a bunch of goals, and in the second leg they tried to make a comeback. Van Nistelrooij bagged a hat-trick, with a lot of good passes from Beckham (from that game on my favourite player was Ruud). In the end Man U won that game but not by enough to win the tie. Does anyone know which game this is? I remember one of the very first CL games I watched was back in 2003 or so, between Man U and Real Madrid.

Could he be the new coach of Real Madrid?? Would be something... I'm sure he would appreciate Rafael van der Vaart... Laudrup has been fired by Spartak Moscow.

Would be something… I’m sure he would appreciate Rafael van der Vaart…

Arsenal did well against a poor Villareal, I must admit. Team's looking hot with Arshavin set to play CL with the Gunners next season. No Ajax games or any other Dutch teams on the list.

It's true however that in recent memory, Guus is "Mr Semifinalist" but he will break that curse. Hopefully Chelsea will defeat Barca but it will be an uphill battle. The Chelseavs Liverpool game although exciting was very very sloppy. So I wont call it a classic for the ages b/c great teams at crucial stages of the game should play mistake free. Liverpool vs AC Milan in Istanbul in 2005 was the greatest of all classic comebacks!
