Looking forward to the Real Madrid v Man Utd game tonight. Real to win it for me but can they keep a clean sheet?

[Alf]

United get the first goal. That answers the clean sheet question

That looked a superb early save by De Gea... looked like he got a flick to put it on post.. very open.

That's why CR7 is world world class.. that was a top class center forwards goal.. he has it all.

1 - 1 Great header by Ronaldo (rose like a Salmon!) and the Welbeck header was pretty good as well.

1-1.. could have been anything.. they had more chances but we had some great chances..

Giggs sliding tackle and run was a proper 20 year roll back..

Good performance by United with Ferdinand marshalling their defence with his usual coolness.
Ozil who looked a real danger in the first half disappeared in the second ? Jones did a good job on Ronaldo in the
second half though. When Modrich came on (what's he doing in a Real side ?) I thought it would end in a draw.
Should be a cracker at Old Trafford for the return leg and I wouldn't like to predict that one

This is what I don't get..

Rio is without doubt... one of the best 4 centre backs around.. I'd day top 1.. but for me, now, reliability wise.. you have to include him..

Superb use of 'rose like a Salmon' Alf. Do I not dislike that? :thumbup:
