The Wizard comes through for the Reds!! A 1-0 lead going into Anfield with an away goal. A 0-0 draw can win this (although I hope that won't be the goal, because that is no way to play against Real Madrid). The 2 best Spanish goalkeepers, maybe even the 2 best in the world going head to head, and it was some excellent stuff (not everyone would've saved that Alonso special from 100 yards away).
Bad news though, Torres subbed off early, appeared to be slow since a tackle only minutes earlier. Hopefully it's nothing serious. He appeared to have been hit right where the foot meets the ankle, so it's likely not his hamstring again, so I hope it's nothing serious.
To make this a good news sandwich, Gerrard was subbed on as well, and didn't appear to be labouring. Hardly an ass-kicking, butin terrific position going into the second leg. All of the English teams but Manchester United going into the 2nd leg with a lead.
