Drama in store in the last four

Victories for Manchester United FC and Arsenal FC last night guarantee an English presence in the UEFA Champions League showpiece in Rome on 27 May, while a second successive all-English final would be on the cards if Chelsea FC were to get the better of FC Barcelona in the other tie. uefa.com looks at the history behind the fixtures ahead of the eagerly awaited last-four ties.

FC Barcelona v Chelsea FCTuesday 28 April – Camp NouWednesday 6 May – Stamford Bridge

It is the third time the clubs have met in the latter stages. Barcelona won an epic quarter-final in 1999/00, 6-4 on aggregate after scoring twice in extra time, and also had the edge in the first knockout round in 2005/06 en route to winning a second European Champion Clubs' Cup. Twelve months earlier at the same stage John Terry headed a late winner to send the Blues through 5-4 on aggregate.
Barcelona have won four of the nine previous semi-finals they have contested – those successes coming in 1960/61, 1985/86, 1993/94 and 2005/06 – in addition to advancing to the 1991/92 final as winners of their last-eight group.
Barcelona's home record against English opposition is impressive, with 13 wins, nine draws and just two losses from 24 previous meetings. Both those defeats came against Liverpool: a 1-0 reverse in the 1975/76 UEFA Cup semi-final first leg, and then a 2-1 defeat in the 2006/07 first knockout round.
Last season's semi-final defeat by Manchester United means the Spanish club have won seven and lost nine of 16 two-legged contests against English opponents.
Chelsea are in the semi-finals for the fifth time in six seasons. Their victory against Liverpool last season followed two previous defeats by the Reds, while they also lost at this stage in 2003/04, succumbing 5-3 on aggregate against AS Monaco FC.

Manchester United FC v Arsenal FCWednesday 29 April – Old TraffordTuesday 5 May – Arsenal Stadium

Since meeting for the first time on 13 October 1894, the clubs have played 204 times. The Gunners have 77 wins to United's 82.
Apart from last season's final, Manchester United have never met an English club in the UEFA Champions League.
Arsenal have faced English opposition in Europe on two previous occasions, losing quarter-finals to Chelsea in 2003/04 and Liverpool last season.
United's ten preceding semi-final appearances have brought just three victories, the most recent being last season when they eliminated Barcelona on their way to a final victory against Chelsea in Moscow.
Arsenal have a 100 per cent record in UEFA Champions League semi-finals, having beaten Villarreal CF in their only previous appearance in 2005/06.
The clubs are the only teams to win the English league and FA Cup double three times. United did it in 1994, 1996 and 1999; Arsenal in 1971, 1998 and 2002.

In my opinion, statistics only shows facts, but nothing is gonna be repeated because of facts. But, in this case Chelsea is better than Barcelona, and Man U is better than Arsenal, so I think that the final battle is Man U vs Chelsea, my favorite is Man U and is going to be the champion.

Hi guys!!!

This time I'd like to tell you about one of my favourite cartoons: Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends. This is an american animated series created and produced at Cartoon Network Studios. In this unreal universe, imaginary friends become physical from the instant a child imagines them; with specific emotions and details. Pitifully, the children eventually outgrow them around ages 7-8 and friends are left to survive for themselves.

Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends was founded by the elderly Madame Foster to provide a foster home for abandoned imaginary friends.

My favourite character from Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends is Cheese. He is a yellowish imaginary friend created by Louise (Mac's neighbor). He's got red eyes and he smells of cheese =D

Cheese is such a madcap guy who used to say incoherent phrases, bend his head until almost break his neck and scream a lot. Cheese likes video games, fishy crackers (goldfish crackers), candies, cereal and chocolate milk, although he is lactose-intolerant. He hates cakes, spiders and spoons. Once Bloo confused him for an alien he saw in a horror film. :P

Ohh... Thanks for your last comments and your links, they were pretty helpful :D

Have you ever read any book of Gabriel García Marquéz??? Let me tell you that he is my favourite writer. He has written novels like El amor en los tiempos del Cólera, La triste historia de la Cándida Erendira y su abuela desalmada y El coronel no tiene quien le escriba among others but my favourite book is Cien años de Soledad.

This book is about the story of Buendia family and begin when Jose Arcadio and Ursula get married. After a while of being married Jose Arcadio kill to a man named Prudencio Aguilar and his ghost start to follow to Jose Arcadio so he promise to leave the village. This is the way in which Jose Arcadio, Ursula and many others friends of him found Macondo.

Ursula and Jose Arcadio have children named Aureliano, Jose Arcadio and Amaranta. This family is so unusual due to all of them start to date, married and cheet to each other...

Well, I would like to tell you more about this book however I recomend you to read it by yourselves....

When we were so much younger we imagined to be married with a Prince Charming and live happily ever after, of course in the case of girls. Boys imagined to be a superhero maybe like Superman or Spideman and to have superpowers like superhuman vision, wallcrawlin or waterbreathing and be happy with these kind of things. We were not worried about anything or anyone.

The truth is that life is not as easier as we were tought. When people grow up things star to be a little complicated and if these are not like that people make them more and more difficult each time. For example when we are babies the only thing that can worry to us is if mommy is with us or if we have enough milk, or if our diaper is dirty and maybe we think "How difficult is to be a baby".

After when we are kids we think "MMM.... my dad doesn´t want to buy me that toy...", "MMM...why can´t I have a dog?", or "why can´t I go to a place that we want to visit". These ideas make us chilhood difficult and frustrating and we think again "how difficult es to be a kid"

Years later when we are teenagers we are worried for not to fail in school, for be atractive for that girl or boy, for know the world and all in its. At this age we never have that we want and think "How difficult is to be a teenager, was easier to be a kid"

Afterwards we star to worry about get a job, get married, get a house, a dog, a car, etc... Money is one of the most worry things and we begin to lost stuff just for get money. After a while we thing: "How difficult is to be an adult.... to be teenager was so much easier, anything worried me at that time".

My point is that we are always worried for something and never think in happy things that life has for us. Everybody need to star to stop worried for everything and begin to enjoy every single breath, the first sunbeam that touch our face in the morning when we get out home and that soft breeze that the wind brings for us. Please guys just...

DON´T WORRY, BE HAPPY
