Goalkeeper Manuel Almunia has declared that the Champions League semi-final tie against Manchester United is not yet over.

The Gunners lost the first leg 1-0 but have a chance to overturn the deficit in next week's return leg at the Emirates Stadium.

Almunia made a string of top class saves to keep the Gunners in the tie.

The Spaniard said: "1-0 in this stadium is not that bad a result because there are not that many teams who play here and go away with a clean sheet.

"We expected them to start with a high tempo, but in the second half we showed that if Arsenal can keep the ball, then we can beat them.

"We have to be more or less happy and look forward to the second leg at the Emirates.

"It is our last chance to do something this year, so we will try to put all of the pressure on Manchester United and the fans will help as well."

Yea yea! He was the guy that kept us hopeful ahead of the return leg. Maybe, our current champions league record at home can help us progress; with some breath of super class attacking and flawless defence! Go go!
