Ronaldhino Magic at San Siro

Barcelona beat AC Milan On Tuesday in the first leg of their Champions League semi final. Although there was some good football in the first half, the score at the interval was 0 - 0. This was a fair result as the sides seemed pretty equally matched.


In the second half Ronaldhino, who had been fairly quiet up to then, demonstrated why he is widely considered to be the best footballer in the world. His skill with the ball is already legendary and yet again he was able bewilder opponents. His pass to his French team mate was exemplary, and just as brilliantly hammered into the net by Guily, in the 57th minute.


A further piece of Ronaldhino magic, saw him hit the inside of the post and narrowly miss a second goal. However, with the final score at 0 - 1, this was a highly satisfactory away win and first leg result. AC Milan, had their chances and came close to scoring on a couple of occasions. At the end though, it was the Champions League favourites who triumphed and they will go into the second leg, at home in Barcelona, with confident expectations.
