Champions League: United disappoints Bacra, reaches Champions League finals Wed. April 30, 2008 02:39 am.- By Bonny Apunyu. - (SomaliNet) Manchester United’s panic-stricken 1-0 win over Barcelona at Old Trafford that sent the Red Devils through to the Champions League final. Paul Scholes's stunning first-half strike put the Red Devils ahead with a superb long-range effort after a quarter of an hour before Ji-sung Park, Nani and Carlos Tevez all went close. Barca’s Lionel Messi proved a constant threat with his daring running from deep, but as in the goalless first leg he was unable to provide the spark Barcelona needed. Instead United held firm in a frantic last 10 minutes of constant Barcelona attacks to secure a place in the final in Moscow on May 21 and ensure that the winner of the 2007-2008 Champions League will definitely be an English side. United had been dealt a sizeable blow prior to kick-off when it emerged that Nemanja Vidic and Wayne Rooney would not be able to feature due to the injuries they sustained in the 2-1 defeat at Chelsea at the weekend, so Wes Brown continued to deputise for the Serbian at centre-half, with Owen Hargreaves starting at right-back and Nani coming into the side in place of Rooney.-Eurosport News Category: Sports Latest Headlines Latest News Sudan cuts ties with Chad accusing Chad of back...
