Champions League, semi finals, second leg
Manchester United 1 - Barcelona 0
Barcelona are out of
the Champions League after a 1-0 defeat at Manchester United. A moment
of opportunism by Paul Scholes with just under a quarter of an hour on the
clock was enough to separate the two teams and set up an all English final
against the winner of tomorrow's match between Chelsea and Liverpool. Scholes
pounced on to the ball after Zambrotta tackled Cristian Ronaldo to curl a shot
past Valdés, the only goal in 180 minutes of football.
Barça did their best,
with Messi bringing a good save out of Van der Sar and Deco firing a couple of
efforts wide before the break, and Henry coming on to test the keeper after the
break. But for the fourth match in a row Frank Rijkaard's side failed to score,
and the coach's job is hanging by a thread after a second season in a row
without a major title. (29.04.08) |
