Arsenal had stars all over the pitch. Take Manuel Almunia, for example. The Spanish goalkeeper, who has taken constant flak for a series of dodgy performances, made two crucial penalty saves in the shoot-out showdown prompting Wenger to say: "We showed the quality and character that is needed at the top level and what is good is that Manuel has also shown what a quality keeper he is. In his first spell in the team he played completely under pressure and was never really himself, but he has displayed the quality we know he has and from what we have seen in training. I hear every day we must buy a goalkeeper, so if I am now being told we have two again then I don't need to bother."
