Champions League SEMI-FINAL

[gr8-1]

2nd leg:
Man Utd 1-0 Barcelona (Scholes)

1st leg:
Barcelona 0- 0 Man Utd
----------------------------------------------------------------------

So Man Utd ensure we will have an all English final. Barcelona played some good football, but in the end Man Utd deserved it. Defensively they were sound and didnt give Barca much of a sniff.

Barca were ok, but I think too many players didn't play too well. Messi was simply amazing. He was the best player over the two legs, while Evra shone for UTD.

Ronaldo did ok, but hardly solidified his position as the superman of football. He can pull it off against small teams, but when it comes to decent opposition he shows he is some way off of the true greats.

I've just looked at the ESPN Gamecaste for this and it looks like it was one hell of a game. I haven't gotten a chance to look at the Ginger Ninja's goal yet, but I'm sure I'll find it somewhere. I didn't look in depth, so would someone mind telling me why there was like 7 minutes added on? Oh and here's a match summary for ya:

It was originally 3 mins to be added on, but then a man utd player needed treatment on 90 mins and it wasn't until 93 mins that the match re-commenced.
