Barça v United leg1

[BloodStar]

will be a great game, tho. Messi is back, Puyol, Ronaldinho out, start of Thierry Henry in doubt.

Barca: Valdes - Zambrotta, Marquez, Milito, Abidal - Xavi, Yaya Toure, Iniesta - Krkic, Eto'o, Messi.

United: Van der Sar - Brown, Ferdinand, Vidic, Evra - Carrick, Scholes, Ronaldo, Tevez - Giggs, Rooney.

i'll be mortified if Anderson and Hargreaves don't start

[Insomnia]

Well looking forward to this tonight...

Not sure how it'll go to be honest, should be a classic though!

Hope there are plenty goals and lots of action..


Will head to the bookies just before kick-off and fire on a score-cast....

[fatcollective]

Big game for united tonight....would be good to get a goal or 2, then we can take them back to old trafford with a great advantage! to be honest i think if any time you have to play Barcelona is now, they aint doing so well right now, but i suppose all that can change! would like to see Rooney step up a gear tonight and get a goal!! come on shrek get ya head together!!!

[BloodStar]

I wish, there will be many goals and attractive football, but I am bit worrying that it will be 0:0 and just 90mins of strategy bollocks... Early goal would be good..

All looks like Hargreaves and Anderson will not play.

[Numeric]

word is Vidic was rushed to hospital with a stomach complaint last night and is now a doubt to start for United

[davemoore]

the spanish play fast football and for me thats why man utd are looking strong in england cuz they are very fast down the wings and the pace of there team is unreal so this will be a game with a goal for sure .. maybe a injury or two i pray !! i think ronaldo will want to shine knowing the two spanish giants want to buy him ! barca has not done well this season maybe a lack of confidence or maybe there be more hungry i think the first game will either make them or brake them if they go down one nil i think it will be all over

[djfase]

Big big game though utd will have to do summin to get a result.

Barca by 2 id say

[Aratron]

Ronaldo totally screwed up too busy trying to look cool, instead of focusing on the penalty.

[davemoore]

barca have total persesion on the ball there passing well but not making any real good through balls . mant utd look deadly on the counter only thanks to one man tho .. i think ronaldo may get sent off there trying to wind him up out there ..
messi is classs classs classss what a player and he is proving it !!!!

[davemoore]

Ronaldo totally screwed up too busy trying to look cool, instead of focusing on the penalty.

he is copying torres's haircut now !!!

Haha u r obviously a chelsea or scouse fan.

Last night was long ball. 2nite was about passing a ball.

Barca dominated, but had no cutting edge. The real fun will be the 2nd leg. Its setup nicely

[Insomnia]

Henry should have been on from the start, it would of been more intresting..

Well makes for a cracker at old trafford...

Well you can always tell how a game has gone by the hi-lights they show on the news channel, little to say there were 2 worthy hi-lights of the united barca game. The Peno and Henrys shot.

So that says to me that the game was naff, i was listening to it and United were suppose to be terrible upfront.

Ronaldo, Ronaldo...

Off all the penalties scored and then this one he balloons it. Someone hit the nail on the head in saying he messed it up coz of trying to look cool, that and just sheer arrogance of him probably thinking he doesnt need to try hard to score because he so's good.

It is nicely set up now for the return leg, but if they snatch a goal you could be trouble and as riise and liverpool fans may yet come to rue that penalty miss/own goal...

They battered you tho didnt they, apparently the ball was just in your half for the first half and the majority of the second..

Didnt Liverpool Beat them Last Year at the Nou Camp?

[BloodStar]

Pretty boring match, tbh. Ronaldo too busy looking good than score a penalty, haha.
Messi was the best man on the field, tho. Whenveer he touched ball it was big danger for United. Looking forward to leg2. Wouldnt be surprised if Barca goes thru.

[xes]

it was a proper boring game.

First half had its moment,but the second half was just gash.

[Numeric]

RE:HAB you didn't even see the game, Barca dominated possession but hardly troubled United over the 90 mins, hardly what i would call a 'battering'

and these comments about Cristiano 'being too busy looking cool' are laughable, he missed a pen, happens from time to time

it was disappointing that United didn't create more, the defence did ok, Rio, Patrice and Hargreaves were all solid, Scholes was alright in the second half but overall no one up front particularly played well for United

[xes]

Ronaldo was off his game last night big time. Virtually everything he did either went wide,or was just off the mark. You could see the annoyance he had with himself.

[Numeric]

to be honest i think Sir wanted a repeat of what happened away against Roma, but United had different personnel this time and Barca at the Nou Camp are a different prospect

Rooney was completely ineffective on the right, Park was anonymous also

United would have fared better if Vidic was fit which would have allowed Hargreaves to play in the centre of midfield
