Dokko Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 So excited for tonight. The tie is beautifully poised, there'll be goals and there's so many big personalities involved (Mourinho, Sir Alex, Ronaldo, Rooney). Could be an iconic match, fingers crossed. Yup. If we get something half as good as the 4-3, I'll be happy. Really hope this doesn't disappoint. Neither team will be interested in defending, surely there'll be plenty of goals? I would of thought both teams will be overly occupied with defending. Can see it being quite cagey. At home in this game, I really can't see Man Utd actively thinking the best way to get through is to keep a clean sheet. Real obviously need a goal - I can perhaps see them being a bit cagey if they go 1-0 up. But then again that would bring Man Utd out. There's the danger of having inflated expectations about this game but although I don't think we'll get another 4-3 for example, I'd be surprised if we don't see a few goals and some class play. Madrid on pens. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

David28 Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 I can't remember seeing Mourinho and Sir Alex both being so relaxed before a game of this magnitude. Mourinho was as calm as somehow possible pre match to the final in 2010 against Bayern. He knew he would win. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

colinmk Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Thinking it might be quite cagey to start off with but with both hardly solid at the back we'll probably get a first-half goal and then hopefully a cracking game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

David28 Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 On a different note, it would mean that both, Rooney and Benzema are out. Both have - imo - failed in the first leg. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

David28 Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 1840: Intriguing, Very intriguing. There are suggestions from journalists within Old Trafford that Wayne Rooney has been left out of the Manchester United starting line-up in favour of Ryan Giggs. We are chasing confirmation now.
