My hat off to Sir Alex, very professionnal. Cool

I don't think the priority of Sir Alex was this match, i think the priority of Sir Alex is the match against Chelsea Saturday for the title. You may say that Manchester was defensive and had only 30 % ball possession but Manchester controlled the match from the beginning to the end. When was Barcelona dangerous ? Never, and Manchester could have scored. Now it's only an away match, Manchester is not tired and is ready to fight against Chelsea Saturday.

And for the CL the decision match will be the 2nd leg at home. There is nothing to say. Cool


They may not be tired physically,but mentally i think they will be exhausted after the Barca game.I think they went into that game somewhat in awe of Barcelona the name,and they played exactly like that. I think they will be fragile against Chelsea and even though it's a long shot they still could actually finish the season without anything.The mind tends to play tricks on you especially after such a mentally draining game as this.If United have a good game against Chelsea saturday i think it will be the building block for them to go on and do what most think they should do , which is win the league.


I don't know if it will work but Manchester have 3 big matchs in one week, and in the first they obtain a good result without playing well, and it could have been better if Ronaldo have scored the penalty kick. Sir Alex have done what he had to do. Cool

I honestly don't think ManU controlled the match mate. Maybe SAF achieved what he thought might be a good scoreline to take OT but ManU never controlled the game. They might've scored from the PK yes, but its only that(But I only saw the second half so I don't know about the First half...

Also, during the second half, I thought I saw one Barca attack atleast where some 4-5 quick passes released Eto'o inside the box and if only he quickly passed the ball back to Messi, it'd be a goal now, but he waited a bit late and the chance went off quickly... Its true that Barca didn't score, but I thought they threatened a lot in the second half...

But these are just my opinions mate... Smile


Manchester have not played a good match yesterday, i think it's what Sir Alex want, but if Barcelona had scored, i'm sure Manchester was able to come back.

I've not said that they will win the second leg but i think we will see the quality of MU in the second leg.

Sure, ManU have the better chance to qualify but they have to win the match in order to do that which might add some pressure. But either way it should be an absolute cracker of a game. One which I am looking forward to more than the other game... Smile

What the hell was Ronaldo thinking of when shooting that penalty? Evil or Very Mad


Scoring?


Nah...

If you're wearing a white shirt in the Camp Nou you can't miss a penalty, damn it!
