Champions Night

¿Have you realized that Torres & Drogba didn't pass the ball one to each other?
There is a moment in the match in the second half where Torres looks at Drogba because he doesn't go to make the pression and Torres has always to do it. We will see what happens next week but Manchester is on its way to the semifinal. Was it penalty in the end of the match to Ramires?
On the other side we have Barcelona, which it's going to play against Madrid in the other semifinal.
