Cesc Mate!

When Arsenal and AC Milan were to face off in the Champions League matches, many questioned whether or not the young legs of Arsenal could withstand the experienced souls of the defending champions, AC Milan. As a matter of fact, many discouraged the idea of Arsenal ever even having a chance of winning. After all, their Premier League and FA Cup performances as of late haven't been outstanding, and the first leg of the Champions League matches were unbearable to watch.

Well, for those who doubt these young gunners, you all are HORRIBLY mistaken.

The second leg of Arsenal vs. AC Milan: the match that would answer all the questions, put all the doubters to shame. And so they were.

After a match full of chances and frustrating tackles, it came down to the wire. Nearly turning off the TV in saddness and anger, I was halted by an amazing goal by who else? MY CESC FABREGAS at the 84'! So beautiful from 30 yards away, and Kalac did not see it coming!!

My heart skipped a beat, I couldn't believe it! I know my love is an amazing player, but did he really score that goal? Was it even a goal? Was it offside??? I hated that I was doubting him, but alas, my questions were answered upon watching the numerous replays after the fateful goal. Milan were shaking their boots, now!

As if that goal lifted those cinder blocks off the gunners shoulders, they were even more fired up than before! Fierce passes while flying down the field, I could not even see little Walcott as he passed the ball to Adebayor, who would then kick the ball in for Arsenal's second goal of the night at 90' +2!!! Maybe his new haircut is indeed good luck...

I could hear the Milanese's heart clanging on the ground. The defending champions were beaten. Arsenal made football history, being the first English team to beat AC Milan at home!

The whistle blew, the gunners on the field were nearly in tears. The cameras panned to the Arsenal fans in San Siro, waving their team scarves and shouting about 'ADEBAYORRRRRR, ADEBAYORRRRRRRR.' The king of North London prevailed once again.

Not only did I find my scarf, brooch, and bracelet (which I lost two months ago) today, but my club won against AC MILAN. I certainly knew it wasn't impossible to beat them, but surely I thought that they would at least score a goal.

I guess those young legs were whipped into shape by Arsene Wenger over the weekend!

As for Milan? They had their fair share of glory last season, perhaps it's time for them to pass down the football glory to the young'uns. :]
