LEAVING.... ARSENAL FOOTBALL CLUB TO TAKE ON CLUB FUTBOL ATLETICO DE MADRID! Arsenal play at the Emirates first and the magnificent Wanda Metropolitana next!

WOOF!

So that's Marseille vs Salzburg in the first semi

And their opponents will be... RED BULL SALZBURG

FIRST TEAM OUT... MARSEILLE!

My mate Arvind Sriram is in need of CPR, 'cos Abidal is about 2.5 % more exciting that Marchetti... but fret not people, we are moments away

Can somebody give Marchetti a shot of adrenalin? If he spoke any drier, dust would fly out of his mouth...

Eric Abidal, that lovely footballing gentleman, has been brought on stage with a cool video package bgm-ing him.

I'm fighting a losing battle....

That insanely boring lawyer, Giorgio Marchetti a man who make the word 'thrilled' sound about as exciting as a corpse's heartbeat is doing his best to put me to sleep.

I SHALL FIGHT ITTTTTTTTTTTTT!

Pedro Pinto hath come stage, told us about who's playing whom and now the little video munchkins at UEFA are showing us some glitzy video highlights of Griezmann scoring, Payet taking freekicks, somebody in Salzburg doing good things with the ball and Danny Welbeck being Danny Welbeck.
