Is Robben gonna hurt United?

I woke up at around 2 in the morning to catch a glimpse of Chelsea facing Portsmouth. I actually wanted to see Pompey running Chelsea ragged and giving them a run for their money. But there were no signs of that. On the contrary, Pompey looked every bit the side it is - going down!

But what caught my imagination is the DFB-Pokal semi final match between Bayern Munchen and Schalke. I caught the action deep down in the second half of extra time; so, there was no first hand information on how the match went. However, the signs were clear! Bayern showed Schalke who the champions are. Probably they had the next week show down in mind and wanted to prove a point.

Arjen Robben proved every bit a thorn in the flesh of Schalke. Running in the wings as if he has nothing to fear and striking fear in the defenders', Robben looked like a predator. And his goal! A peach...an amazing piece of skill coupled with Robben's sense of the pitch. Bayern were the worthy winners, as every one in the stadium would have (even grudgingly) accepted.

But what made me think is, which Robben will turn up in the tie with United? Is it going to be this Robben who is wrecking havoc in the defences of Bundesliga? or the Robben of La Liga who was nothing more than a flop? I hope for the latter (being a red devil) but for the beauty of a wonderful contest, I wish it is the former!
