Touré Yaya. Drove ball back into net after Bojan cross cleared to him.
Barcelona are through to the
semi-finals of the Champions League after a 1-0 victory over Schalke 04. It was
not a convincing win though, and the one goal lead from the first leg looked in
danger as the German side dominated the first half. However with a couple of
minutes to go to the break a dangerous cross from Bojan was only cleared as far
as Touré Yaya, who drove the ball back into the net. That was enough to
take Barça through to a semi-final meeting with Manchester United, who
knocked out Roma in the day's other quarter final. Frank Rijkaard breathed a
sigh of relief. |
