Champions League Semifinals
Manchester United will be trying to do something no team has ever done, retain the Soccer Betting Champions League trophy in back-to-back years. They play the first leg of their semifinal match at home against Arsenal on Wednesday.
"When we won it in Moscow the point was made in the press conference about no side having ever retained the cup in the Champions League format.” United manager Sir Alex Ferguson said, "I didn't know that was the case at the time, but you say to yourself it would be great if we could be the first do that. We are good at winning things for the first time and maybe that is a good omen for us. Talk is cheap, but faint heart never won fair lady and it's something I would dearly love to do.”
United goal keeper Edwin van der Sar believes that United can make history. "This side is much better equipped to retain the trophy than Ajax were in 1996. Then we had loads of injuries and we had a lot of young players who had to fill gaps left by older and more experienced players who had injuries and suspensions.” he said, “We are certainly better equipped to do it and deal with it."
On Saturday, United came back from a 2-0 deficit to win in Soccer Betting Premier League action against Tottenham but center back Nemanja Vidic knows they can’t be giving up goals on Wednesday. "In the first half we didn't defend very well," Vidic said. "In the second half we came back much stronger, and that is how we need to play against Arsenal and any team we play against. It just happens - sometimes things go wrong.”
Vidic will be trying to contain Arsenal striker Emmanuel Adebayor. "He's a great player and has the ability to score," Vidic said. "He is big and strong and in that respect you have to expect a hard game against such an opponent."

Arsenal is playing very well heading into Wednesday’s game and they are ready for United. "For me I am not scared of any team. I know what I have to do when I play," Arsenal defender Kolo Toure said. "There is more pressure on United because they are the team to beat. United are the ones who won it last season, but for us we are going there to do the best we can playing free and passing the ball. We know when we play football against Manchester United, they struggle a lot."
The other Champions League semifinal first leg between Barcelona and Chelsea was played on Tuesday and ended in a scoreless draw.
