Real Madrid 0 v 1 Arsenal


A world class individual goal from Thierry Henry gave Arsenal a famous victory tonight in The Bernabeu. Team performance was excellent, Eboue for me at right back was outstanding, such a young player and he looked like he played there every week.
This was a performance we prayed so hard for and we were not let down. Freddie worked his arse off in midfield and was everywhere. We must remind ourselves that the job is not done, but this was a special night for Gooners the world over.


That Goal

The winning goal was Henry at his very best. Fabregas passed to him in the centre circle he, held off Ronaldo and skipped past Alvaro Mejia and Guti before racing into the area and muscling past Sergio Ramos. The shot crossed Casillas and into the far corner of the net.
It was a goal with everything - power, strengh and a top finish. The biggest stage had the master entertainer. Lets hope we can go on from this and use it a springboard for the season.

Tonight we were better than a poor Madrid, and they were poor, but this should give confidence to our players that they can finish the job at Highbury.


More comment tomorrow. But for now... thats all folks
