Hamburg 3 Manchester City 1 UEFA Quarter Finals



Despite Shay Given's heroics in front of goal, it had ended 1-3, in favour of the Germans.

Manchester City were particularly unlucky. Hamburg should not have been awarded penalty in my opinion.

Was Micah Richards handball intentional? I doubt it.. He was only trying to protect his face from Mathijsen's ferocious kick! I will shield my face too when someone whacks the ball at my face..

Summary:
Hamburg SV
Joris Mathijsen (9) Piotr Trochowski (pen 64) José Paolo Guerrero (79)

Manchester City
Stephen Ireland (1)
