Manchester United 1-0 Barcelona
Barca played magnificently up to the final whistle but United held their ground and went on to take that coveted spot in the Champions League final. The La Liga club were relentless on their attack and maintained impressive control of the ball throughout the match. Unfortunately, Zambrotta’s mistake early in the game proved to be too costly. That lone goal from Paul Scholes was enough for Man U to advance.
The defensive wall of United was nothing short of awesome. For a team that’s more famous for its fierce attacks and the lightning speed runs of Cristiano Ronaldo, it’s refreshing to see Rio Ferdinand and Wes Brown in full action once in a while. As for Barca, they’re lucky to have Lionel Messi on their ranks. The kid is sheer brilliance and can definitely give Kaka a run for his money.
Overall, it was a riveting game and a spectacular display of first-class football. Here’s to hoping tomorrow’s match will be just as much of football extraordinaire. And no more traumatic own goals. Please.
