oh come on... if he stayed standing it is easy for a striker to toe poke the ball pass him and into the net. It is always difficult for a keeper to anticipate one on one situations. If he stayed standing he is vulnerable at his sides like i mentioned. If he spread out and went to the ground, the striker can chip the ball over him. If he comes out, the striker can round him, if he didn't come out, he's not narrowing the angle for the striker. Reina is one of the best at one on one situations but even he can't defend all of them... the best goalkeeper at one on one situations to me is Peter Smeichel... but that has alot to do with his physical size...

Torres looked nonchalant when he came on and his work-rate to me was poor but this IMO was Di Matteo's fault for expecting Fernando Torres to play as a left wing-back. He's not a team player! Barca should have capitalised on this fact that Torres was playing where he was, I would have instructed my players to double up and attack the right-wing where Torres was playing.
Di Matteo was lucky with this IMO - but it paid off for him.
I hope Munich rape em, in the final.
