and the english go a step further

ENGLISH club side Manchester United showed the world why they are the best after nailing AS Roma 7-1 in the UEFA Champions League quarter final.

The Manchester team, dubbed as Red Devils, advanced to the semi final after an 8-3 aggregate. Roma won the first leg 2-1.

Playing on their home ground at Old Trafford, the English side started their goal scoring campaign through former Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Michael Carrick followed by Alan Smith and Wayne Rooney. Flamboyant but rather dramatic player Critiano Ronaldo blasted a shot at the bottom corner while Carrick added his name in the score sheets for the second time.

With six goals down, Roma’s consolation goal came in through Danele De Rossi but Man U’s Patrice Evra further added more dismay to the Italian side with the final goal of the day.

United are set to take on either AC Milan or German greats Bayern Munich.

The other English side to advance is Chelsea as they beat Valencia 2-1 (agg 3-2) to move on.

Like them or not, it must be highly regarded that Sir Alex Ferguson’s lads have done him proud as the massacre at Old Trafford is set to send shivers down the spines of the other competing teams.

As for Roma, it would be a day they would rather forget.

This has got to be the talk of town, erasing memories of Spur’s and English goalkeeper Paul Robinson beating fellow national keeper Ben Foster from his end of post during the Spur and Watford showdown. The London side won 3-1.
