The duck is broken: Ando is mobbed by fellow Devils
In what seemed to be the ‘never to happen’ conundrum, Anderson finally got his name on the score sheet against Boca Juniors in the Audi Cup friendly tournament at the Allianz Arena, Germany. A stunning curling freekick to break his duck.
Brilliant.
Though having a perfect record in converting penalties (none more important than the one against Chelsea in Moscow ), I think quite a number of us fans had been on the verge of thinking that maybe, just maybe, Ando does a better job at braiding his hair than scoring goals in open play. Don’t get me wrong, though; he is our midfield asset and has almost everything we need in a combative midfielder except for putting the ball in the net. Well, Wednesday’s game could signal the arrival of a new Anderson that includes scoring in his repertoire of tricks, hopefully.
On another note, Valencia had a dream debut that most footballers would dream of by banging in the other goal. I reckon Sir Alex will start Valencia in the final against a seemingly strong Bayern Munich team that saw off AC Milan 4-1 in another match. We will have to be extra cautious throughout the match given Bayern’s 3 goals against Milan were at the last 10 minutes of the game.
The final will be played on:

*Updates: Bayern Munich won 7-6 on penalties after it ended 0-0
*It was also great to note that John O'Shea was given the captain's armband, possibly in recognition to Mr. Versatililty's all-round contribution over the years. Good one, Sheasy!
