Two Netherlands top internationals will face each other in the coming Champions League semi-final second leg match between Arsenal and Manchester United. It appears save to assume that returning-from-injury Robin van Persie (pictured) will do his best to emerge on top of countryman Edwin van der Sar.
Robin van Persie has missed four games, during which time Man United goalkeeper van der Sar returned to the top of our FTBL Top 23 with a rating of 140.07 points. The 38-year-old is second only to Liverpool's Dirk Kuyt (207.43 points) in our rating of Dutch players.
Robin van Persie ranks 3rd in the same rating, and he will have to pick 17 rating points in the semi-final if he wants to overtake his fellow countryman, while the Man United goalkeeper only needs 4.95 rating points to retain his position. That means even a goal is no guarantee of a move up in the ratings for van Persie.
