Champions League
Manchester United Barcelona
Asian -0,5 :
Game: MAN UTD v BARCELONA (0-0)
Date: Tues April
Kick-off: 19h45 BST
Venue: Old Trafford
Manchester United is for me the biggest candidate to win this Champions League this year.
Manchester United are hopeful that Wayne Rooney and Nemanja Vidic will be fit for the Champions League semi-final second leg against Barcelona.
Neither player trained on Monday morning after sustaining injuries in the 2-1 defeat at Chelsea on Saturday.
Striker Rooney limped off with a hip problem after scoring, while defender Vidic was cut badly after being hit in the face by Didier Drogba's knee.
United are seeking a spot in the Moscow final after a 0-0 draw at the Nou Camp.
United losed against Chelsea because Ferguson rotated most of the team to be fit for this big clash.
At home United is completly stunting and with Vidic and Ferdinand in the center of the defence, i expect United to not conceeded any goal (also a good bet)
Barcelona losed 2-0 against Deportivo on the last fixture and they losed completly the title.
There are only hope in this CL semi-final and things are not so easy for Rijkaard.
Barcelona will welcome back skipper Carles Puyol who will replace the suspended Rafael Marquez in defence.
Midfielder Yaya Toure (ankle) is a doubt and Edmilson could replace him.
Leo Messi is still not in 110% as we seen in the 1st leg of this competition.
C.Ronaldo missed a penalty in the first game wich could killed Barcelona. But Ronaldo promised to score in this 2nd leg so let's hope yes.
I think United will win this match by 1-0.
Available Players:
Man Utd: Van der Sar, Neville, Brown, Ferdinand, Vidic, Silvestre, Evra, 0'Shea, Ronaldo, Scholes, Anderson, Hargreaves, Carrick, Giggs, Park, Fletcher, Rooney, Tevez, Kuszczak, Pique, Welbeck.
