Agreed, but that match was so boring I wished I watched Barca's match instead. Well, it's not like it's all boring, but it's obvious that in the second half Sir Alex is just trying to protect the lead without trying to get more goals. I suppose you can say it's a testament for their defending skills (dammit, Van der Sar, must you really retire next year?), but the fact is with three English teams, they only manage to score 1 goal. Meanwhile, 2 Spanish teams score 9, 5 from Germany and 3 from Italy, and 1 from Ukraine.
I do love MU's goal though, Stankovic's was amazing but that was his own amazing effort, MU's goal was a great team combi play. Carrick's cross, followed by Giggs' great run and first touch (that guy is really 37?) and clinically finished by Rooney. Top-notch.
