Great relief

Woke up early morning just to catch this match. Roma VS Arsenal. The return leg for the round of 16 Champion League match.

A tough away match for Arsenal. Playing infront of  70,000+ Roma fans. The Gunners have to suffered jeers from the home fans everytime they got the ball. (Good staminas from the Romans. Lol) This affected Arsenal's way of playing in the whole game. They werent playing at their best, the team is abit sloppy and sluggish. Roma is playing with confidence and almost dominated the whole game. 

Thanks to lady luck. Roma failed to score twice in the game. =) (Arsenal won the first leg 1-0, so now the game is tied at 1-1)

After 3 and half hours of football, the game is still tied. ITS PENALTY TIME!!!! The most exciting part in the game. Its like lottery. Any of the team can win it, its 50-50. My heart pumped even faster now. Getting anxious than ever. Eduardo misses the 1st penalty for Arsenal. GOSH!!! I thought we are going to lose this time. (I kept on praying to god for Roma to miss a penalty. xD Roma's player are quite good in taking penalty, however Arsenal's player are quite composed too.^^) Thank god for answering my call. Almunia managed to get Arsenal back on track when he saves Vucinic's penalty.Phew, great relief. But that doesnt mean my heart is gonna slow down. Its going faster and faster, somewhere near the heart attack situation. LOL. And in the sudden death penalty shoot-out, Max Tonetta blast his shot over the bar. ARSENAL WON!!!! 7-6 in the penalties. ARSENAL are through to the quarter-finals. A great win in Rome for the Gunners. 

Thank you so much guys. You made my day so much brighter with the win.

Not one of the best matches i've ever watched but still its one of the match that i cherish most. Another great european night for Arsenal.
