I bet that hurt didn't it Con
I take it back for what I've been saying about the defense. When needed they stepped up and performed brilliantly. Tevez was a little work horse. And Scholes goal , flipping brilliant. A fine team performance , now bring on the final. I do feel that Nani needs to start playing for the team instead of himself sometimes. Although supporting this team should come with a health warning |

Why didn't Ronaldo play again?
|

The penalty that could be was the fault by Scholes to Messi in the minute 1 or 2 that could be in the line of the penalty area. |

Wes Brown was man of the match for me. Absolutley solid. Would start every week at centre half if United didnt have 2 World Class defenders in there....greedy basturds

Congratulations Manchester United.
Barca, for all their beautiful intricate passing, hardly created any real clear cut chances. I'd argue that Roma created far more than Barca did in their two legs against United. Lionel Messi. AMAZING. Didn't deserve to be on the losing side. He was at the heart of all Barca's best attacking moments, and every time he touched the ball Old Trafford held its breath. Loved the way he left Scholes for dead on the touchline and when he nutmegged Ronaldo at the end. Its a shame his teammates cannot support his brilliance. For me, he's the best player I've seen since Zizou. As Samuel Eto'o said, he really does dribble like a Playstation player, makes it look incredibly easy. United's best defender...Brown? Rio? Evra? Nah. Carlos Tevez. It was a excellent defensive display from Utd, very much in the Liverpool mould. But winning is that matters and fair play to them they won. |

Congats Man U, it is a great acheivement to knock Barcelona out and to do it by keeping probably the best attacking team in the world goalless over two legs is outstanding!
Unfortunately I didnt get to see or tape the second leg of this as work is insane at the moment but hopefully will catch a replay some time. Roll on tomorrow, I expect Chelsea to do the business myself but we'll see |

Even if Manchester deserved to go to the final, i find them less impressive yesterday than in their matchs against Lyon. I think the players don't want to have a card and miss the final.

I think the same about Ronaldo. |

When he played for PSV he was with Lee the player of Tottenham, they play well together. |

Good match again, though its not good to see Barca playing so beautifully and not scoring, never mind not winning. Messi was taking 6 people on at a time, shame he couldnt take on 7 and score a goal.
Ronaldo for world player of the year? Long way to beat Messi! |

Messi was by far better than Ronaldo, but one thing he lacked was finding the back of the net. He passed the ball too much to Eto'o who doesn't have the quality he once had 2 years ago. Kaka won the Ballon 'dOr last year because of his great performance & goal-scoring ability. Don't do drugs kids!! |

Great performance from the whole team. Brown was immense at the back, Ive always been a fan of him but he really was great last night. Rio on the other hand I havent been a huge fan of in the past but hes finally showing his potential recently and put in another great display at the back. Evra did nothing wrong either, Hargreaves made a mistake in the first half when he let Iniesta through & they nearly scored but considering hes a midfielder he did well overall.
In midfield, Carrick was average enough, he doesnt have the technique to match Xavi, Toure & Iniesta and was again exposed. Scholes was great as usual, constantly winning the ball back and controlling the tempo of the match and then obviously he got that goal as well. Its great to see him finally get the chance to play in a final. Park and Ronaldo were ok, Park worked really hard all night and put in some good crosses while Ronaldo despite not doing much at least played for the team unlike last week. Nani on the other hand was [beep!] to be honest, his final ball was terrible and he kept choosing the wrong option, to be fair to him he did work hard though. Up front then theres Tevez obviously, man of the match along with Brown in my opinion. It seems impossible to run as much as he does, he just never stops for the full 90 minutes, he was all over the pitch closing down, won the ball plenty of times and was probably the best player going forward as well. The crowd was great as well, I havent seen an atmosphere like that at Old Trafford since the 90's! In the final Id prefer Liverpool just for the occasion more than anything, it'd be an amazing night Man Utd v Liverpool in the Champions League final. Annoyed the games on a Wednesday though, Im sure I heard they were switching in to a Saturday recently? |

Haha, that was a joke right? I don't think the FA would find it funny somehow, do you? |

what a tense match.. barcelona nearly outplayed us in every single aspect.. from the stats given.. it could've been a luck for us to go through.. their midfield's scary and i always held my breath each time messi had the ball.. such a pity that he's got to be in the losing team.. this guy's really amazing.. T.T
and scholesy's simply superb.. never imagined that he'd the one to earn us the ticket to moscow with that fantastic kick which ended up as a goal.. and park also gave me a very good impression.. in a nutshell.. everyone's been working hard.. congratulations.. XD |

i told you that we'd win it hard
we've been playing defensive enough in the last couple of matches.. and with a weird formation too.. as a matter of fact.. scholesy wasn't in a real good position to strike either.. but he's somehow confident to shoot it out and scored.. so yeah.. don't put all the blame on zambrotta.. |
||||||||||||||
|
|
|||||||||||||||
|
yeah.. sometimes he isn't in the best position to shoot..
but it's not a pk.. just an obvious fk |
