Arsenal played a horrible second leg, Villareal deserved it but just couldn't peg one back. They had a great first run in the champions league though.
Villarreal has a good team, but lacks that really extra class you need to reach the final. Ok, you can miss a penalty once in a while, but looking his performances over the two games and his bodylanguage you knew that Riquelme would miss this one. He's an too old fashioned playmaker to be honest, to really make it on the big stage. Too slow and static, a player who needs 10 men to duty him. Also the lack of a real goalpoacher. Forlan had a great first season for the Yellow Submarine, but like he showed at Man U, he ain't one of the highest calibre.
Arsenal played an ugly game though, which doesn't make you like the fact that they went through. 11 men defending.
but Arsenal do play great in the 2nd leg,
