The second Semi Final 1st leg took place last night - Barcelona and
Manchester United drew 0-0 in the Camp Nou...

It's all square after the 1st leg between these two European
giants. It could have been a lot better for Manchester United had
Cristiano Ronaldo converted a 3rd minute penalty for the English
side.

Both teams will fancy their chances in the 2nd leg, United have a
magnificent record at Old Trafford in the Champions League. While
Barcelona will be confident that with their array of attacking
talent on show, they can grab that crucial away goal.

Back to last night's encounter...

Both teams had very 'low' Bookings stats coming into this game.
Last night's game went 'Under' the bookies' line. Both teams picked

Goal Scorers
C. Ronaldo to 'Score Anytime' @ 15/8 - LOST
And
L. Messi to 'Score Anytime' @ 5/2 - LOST

Cristiano Ronaldo had the opportunity to score from the penalty
spot, but unfortunately the Champions League top scorer fired his
penalty just wide. Barcelona's Lionel Messi played well but never
really threatened the United goal, he was replaced in the 62nd
minute by Bojan Krkic.

Overall then, a good set of results from the standout stats - it
would of been even better had Ronaldo converted that penalty.
