Moscow, we’re going to Moscow!
Match report to follow 
[EDIT By RR]
Great stuff by the lads. Outstanding support from the crowd. They won’t be able to talk for a week, I’m sure. Let’s savour these moments for now. I’ll put some videos or pics as I find them, but the match report will come up only tomorrow. Hang on tight, and feel free to rant your guts out.
Over to you…
Found this on video Youtube, don’t know if it’s relevant, but enjoy!
The defining moment… the Ginger Prince!
… and the video…
Yes! We are going to Moscow, for real!

I knew it the moment that ball went in – actually I knew it when it dropped to Scholes, but it took a second to register and we’d scored by then. heh.
A thought for Evra, who’s probably out of our last two games…

Actually Ahmed, probably our last three games, since we’re going to Moscow!
Over the two legs I thought he did brilliantly against Messi, and Messi created most of his chances from the middle. I’m sure many people disagree but I think he has been our best player behind Ronaldo this season, with Rio a very close third. Speaking of whom, his partnership with Brown over the last few games has meant we have barely missed Vidic. Always knew we would beat Barca and that is genuine, they have no cutting edge and that was just so clear for everyone to see in the first leg so I never really understood the need to panic. 3 more games and we’ll have had our best season since 1999 – easy!

I dont think I remember being so nervous over 90 minutes like I was tonight after the match I nearly fainted, anyway the guys played like champions and hopefully the season ends like that, it feels so good to have never doubted that we could do I was one of the few who thought 0-0 at the nou camp was a good result.
The players, oh the players were gods, simply the best team in the world (after tonight Tevz should be cemented on the starting line up he was great).

YEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!!
Were going to Moscow to win it for Sir Alex, the Busby Babes, The United fans, the club, and of cource the players! I was crying for ten minutes after the game, I nearly died by the nerves of this match. The last minutes were the most difficult minutes of my life, I just wanted it to be over! And now that it is, I am happy like….no one can describe my feelings! Of cource you know, but that is because we are United fans! Scholes with the goal of the season, no doubt, I felt that was in when he hit it. He deserves it, everybody does! Hope we win it now. Rio Ferdinand my MOTM! He was amazing along with Tevez, Wes, Evra and of cource Park who played his lungs out! Hope Evra is okey. It will take something special from West Ham to beat us now, we are going to be CHAMPIONS!! PAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUL SCHOOOOOOOOOOOLEEEEEEEEES!!!

WOW! I said nail biter and it certainly was. I won’t comment or give player ratings until I have watched the game as I was out but fortunately I caught the first half and the last ten minutes on radio in the car. Talk about tension. I wanted to vomit, it was so bad.
God bless the lads, especially Scholes and most of all Fergie. Today he got it right. It wasn’t dazzling but apparently it was effective.

Congratulations to Red Ranter, Ahmed and all United fans from a Barça fan. Obviously I am devastated not to get through after seemingly dominating both legs, but United played a tactically excellent game and didn’t allow Barça any clear cut chances. I thought Ferdinand was excellent, as was Tevez battling away up front. Hope any doubters now realize Messi is a serious contender for World’s best player. For more on the Barça point of view see the match report and opinion at Fcbnews http://fcbnews.com/manchester-united-fc-barcelona/
Good luck for the Premiership and the final in Moscow.

Cheers mate. I must admit Messi was a cut above the rest of the Barca players. He is quite a player, at 20 years of age, and Barca will be better served if they hold on to him till the end of time.
Otherwise, there really is not too much debate on who’ll win the European player / World player of the year award this year. We all know it’s Ronaldo.

Hard to pick a man of the match.
EVDS 7 Nervy at times but did enough to keep barcelona out.
Hargreaves 7 Solid, good in the air, strong in tackle, let Iniesta cut inside a bit too often
Ferdinand 9 A rock at the back. Barcelona slung long balls at us, Rio won every single one.
Brown 8 Made some crucial tackles and blocks
Evra 9 Forced Messi to cut inside every time, gave us some great overlap on the wings.
Park 8 Lot of running, great tackles, we should have got something from his crosses.
Carrick 8 Kept things together and made some great passes and did not give much away defensively.
Scholes 8 Stunning goal and was tidy in possession and tackling was much better than usual. Kept it simple.
Ronaldo 9 Mature and composed performance. Hardly ever gave the ball away and his dribbling was controlled winning us space and buying us time. Extremely unselfish and always looking for the pass. Created space for the other players.
Nani 6 Had the confidence to run at Barcelona’s defence but held onto the ball too long and delayed the pass.
Tevez 9 Played his role to perfection. Was the first line of defence, held the ball up brilliantly, hardly ever lost the ball, and was involved in some beautiful moves.

That is brilliant FCBnews. Thanks a lot. It was a monster performance from both teams and the winner might as well have been decided by the flip of a coin. Brilliant Scholes and Park and everybody in the stadium. The noise levels were pretty high at it was a good United performance.
See you in Moscow, fucking Scousers, and I hope we knock your bloody teeth out. HELL YEA!

So where are the naysayers now eh? All those people writing SAF off as senile? I surely wouldn’t now bet against him adding that coveted European cup he craves so much to the trophy cabinet! Who knows, he might even decide to call it a day on the spur of the moment at 10pm in Moscow (hopefully because we won)!
That was some nerve-wracking last few minutes! 6 minutes of pure agony! We should have got the killer second goal, but nevertheless a defensive masterclass from the boys once again! The Toad-muppet and his team of chavs will surely get their comeuppance now, and in what better place than where their history (since 2003) started: Roman’s homeland.

To a man, United fans were the business tonight!. Screaming, scarf waving, chanting, nail biting, LOUD AND RAUCOUS to the extreme. No way were they going to let the lads lose that game tonight. 12th man supreme. Every one a cheerleader in their own right. Every one going home wrecked from the fervour and tension. It is the greatest night, what a blast!. Will take a long time for many to sober up after this I can tell you. But Saturday and the Hammers beckon, so got to keep something in reserve for that. All the fans are exhausted as are the players from pure non stop action. Hahahaha – GO YOU REDS, KEEP GOING TIL WE GOT THE DOUBLE. So, did anyone prophesy the correct result then – 1-0?. Awww so made up for the club – honest!.
