We're really having a great season, having sold RVN the plan was to go for abs and the best way to do that is progress in the cups and you can't ask for more.
I always expected it to be tight over in Benfica and it was, with Benfica's keeper in fine form. I was surprised to see them line up with P, not many clubs can go toe to toe with us in the middle of the park and ultimately that was where the game was won.
We would have liked to have killed the game off and had to bring young midfielder Muller on at the back, a position I'm sure he didn't think he'd be coming on as, but that was the respect we gave the dangerous Benfica.
I suppose Porto are the team everyone in the draw will want but all 5 teams left in the draw a worthy of any semi final, in fact final place, so it really doesn't matter at this stage.
Real once again let discipline stall any progress, can Daniel capitalise on the home advantage now, really this is a must win game for both teams, defeat here no matter what happens in the league could/should be seen as a failure for the manager.
Nine sending offs already for Ahmed, is it time to get rid of a few of his high Aggressive players or change the style they play, thankfully they have the squad to compensate for this short coming any other team would have their season in tatters but it surely can't help any club. Galavin gets at least 2 red cards a season, unbelievable stat.
Santos are showing what a classy outfit they are and can probably be counted as the number cup team around these days, disappointing tactics on Andie's behalf making life easy for Glyn.

Santos FC really are a good cup team, no disrespect to Glyn in the league but only 3 goals conceded in both cups this season, 6-2 at home to Celtic FC and 2-1 away to Sunderland
they havn't conceded a goal this season in the League Cup
In Season 15 They Won Both Cup Semi Final Of The FA Cup in Season 16 Lost Both Finals Last Season and this season they have made the League Cup Final and FA Cup Semi Final
