The past week has produced some of the more memorable moments in sporting realm.

Zach Johnson claimed an amazing win in the Masters' , claiming the edge and edging out the perennial finisher Woods. What was distinctive about this victory was its manner; the lens trained on this soon-to-be champion captured his verve and strong, silent tenacity. He enamated a drive that is associated with champions. He kept his cool under pressure from the World No. 1. The World No.1, on the other hand, was a bundle of nerves. His loosely disguised disgust at missing important shots painted a picture of agitation. What Zach Johnson had was evident in his eyes, the look in his eyes.

That look was eerily similar to Cristiano Ronaldo's. The lens was once again on the world's best player as the teams lined up in the tunnel prior to kick-off. Focus, drive and purpose were all evident as he psyched up for kick-off. When Champions have it, you can almost see it.

A masterclass of a performance! A pure CLASSIC! I am so proud to have watched history made LIVE. The fluid Man U movement totally swarmed the Romans. One punch after another knocked the Romans deeper into their quagmire of misery. Fantastic 7! It will be one of the sporting moments I will remember for a lifetime. More amazingly, this was all achieved by a team considered by many to be weaker for lack of key players like Neville, Vidic, Scholes and Saha. The team on the night stood up to be counted and entered the history books by recording one of the most overwhelming victories for a Champions League semi-final. All eight goals had the touch of class. On a night like that at Old Trafford, fans all over celebrated glorious attacking football from a team that has been displaying its attacking verve all season.
