at old trafford or sports editor dan rowen was there, and dan you know we've given ourselves with a lot to do. i think it's fair to say the odds are firmly stacked against manchester united now. progress into the semi finals, barcelona had that's crucial away goal, they weren't best, the spanish league leaders, but they didn't really need to be, because in truth, you did feel there was something between the two sides, united were very energetic, they tried very hard, but they couldn't get that equaliser they crave, the opening goal, they knew the danger didn't they five times on player fear, that fantastic pass across goal to his team—mate luis torres, who deflected off of luke sure for a goal, it was ruled offside, but in the end they work correctly ruled that it stood. so that gave barcelona the early lead that united had been desperate to avoid. as i said, they did, very industrious united, and certain players have been drafted into midfield, lake fred for example. he did very well i think, but the better chance certainly belongs to their illustrious opponents from barcelona. certain
