Barcelona v Manchester United Review

Last night Barcelona had a lot of the possession but they were unable to break through our strong defence. The team news for United was that Vidic wasnt fit to play so Hargreaves played at rightback. Scholes started to make his 100th Champion's League cap. Rooney and Van Der Sar were fit to play.
We did have a penalty in the first minute which Ronaldo took, i would have put quite a bit of money on Ronaldo scoring, it was lucky that i didnt because he missed it. Ronaldo should have been given another penalty when he was shoved off the ball in the penalty area, but just like Fergie said after the match, you are lucky to get one penalty at the Nou Camp let alone two.
Like you would expect Barcelona went on and they had most of the possession but they werent really getting anywhere. When we did get the possession we gave it back, we werent stringing more than two passes together.
The second half was pretty much the same, Barca had most of the possession but we did have one or two chances, Carrick had a shot that went into the side netting but it wasnt to be.
Henry did come on and he did test Van Der Sar but Van Der Sar did well, when Henry came on i thought, here we go, he is going to score, but he didnt and the match finished 0-0.
All the talk before the match was about Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi but we didnt really see much from them, i also didnt really see much from Rooney and Tevez either. Hopefully next tuesday it will be swopped over- we will have all the possession and hopefully we can bang a goal or two in.
Barcelona are capable of coming to Old Trafford next week and scoring a goal which will mean that we need two but i also think that we are capable of scoring 2 or 3 goals against them.

There are two things guarnteed next week, there is going to be a winner and it will be a much better match.

Before the match i said that i think United need an away
