It was more than just defending, some very good chances to win it. Real faded pretty badly, we've got a good chance now.
Well played. It's now set up very nicely for the second leg. Going to be a cracker in Manchester in 3 weeks.
job done, Sir Alex get his tactic spot on but it will take one moment of magic in OT to change the balance they will play Barca 3 times, one just before the CL game back4, Gea and Carrick and jones were awsome what happened to RVP finishing?
that referee is ****, why not let us take the corner, if its cleared then blow the whistle, anyway, excellent result for us, i thought Welbeck was fantastic tonight but my man of the match is De Gea who has had **** from the media ever since he joined us, he was world-class, i'm so glad he's prove me right.
indeed, and that was a well rested Real side, they will play Barca 3 times in coming weeks, one of them is 3 days just before meeting us again
Good game, quality all round from both teams. My cheeky fiver bet on no more goals after half time doesn't seem like such a bonkers one now too...
Real won't be so attack minded next time. They'll do what you did tonight, sit back and counter attack.
