Game finished 1-1.

Terrific result from United. Defensively solid although I thought Madrid looked quite flat at times. De Gea, Evans, Ferdinand, Jones, Evra, Carrick, Kagawa, Welbeck all had very good games

Looking forward to the second leg.

Kagawa? I thought he was terrible, Rooney was abysmal and Van Persie should have bagged at least 2 but hey anyone can have an off day. Welbeck was excellent and the defence as a whole were bang on.

Referee totally bottled a blatant sending off when Evra was through on goal.

If Man U can do a job on Ronaldo I think they'll win the home tie quite comfortably, minus Ronaldo and Ozil (1st half) I didnt see a great deal to be afraid of though I think you will see Pepe back for Madrid.

I thought Kagawa had a good game and caused Madrid problems when he started playing off the back of Van Persie. Thought he utilised the ball well until towards the end where he became tired and eventually replaced.

Agree with the red card shout. Referee bottled it.

Don't think the away goal will play much of a part to be honest, I expect Madrid to score at Old Trafford and therefore cancel out the away goal.

I bet Fergie was fuming when the ref blew for full time... just as Utd were about to take a corner. No tiempo de Fergie aqui en España. :D Don´t suppose it would have happened if it had been Madrids corner though.

Arsenal vs Bayern Munich tonight. Looking forward to this. Pressure on Wenger to deliver after their cup exit at the weekend.

Certainly turned up the heat in his pre-match conference yesterday  :D

Does everyone want English teams to win in Europe? I dont know if I'm different but I honestly never want then to win. I love seeing United and Arsenal fail in Europe.

Did anyone see Fergie push the bloke out the way trying to get down the steps, funny that

Has far as the sending off is concerned the Ref was only following the uefa ruling.Harsh i know but according to Uefa its a sending off. ha

If anyone was watching itv coverage after the game, Roy keane was starting to make the friendly little studio with Southgate, Dixon and Chiles a little bit hostile. They looked frightened of him when he was arguing that it was a clear red card. Horrible bloke

Roy Keane is obviously still very bitter about his United exit.

Wasn't a red card, a bit of common sense and a yellow would have been more than enough.

Making contact with your studs on an opponents chest is a red card.Fergie would have wanted one had it been on Rooney and so would the OT crowd.

Unintentional and harsh maybe,but a foot up,dangerous play and red.

Dont think it was a red. A red is for Serious Foul Play which the rule book says should be given if the tackle involves using 'excessive force' I dont think it was using excessive force, the only reason it looked bad was becasue the Madrid player literally ran into the foot aswell.

If it was dangerous play that would only result in a indirect free kick and no caution.

The red card was given for Serious foul play not dangerous play and I dont think it was serious foul play.

Trying to control a ball is not serious foul play no.

I think the rules would apply if this were an incident where two players challenging for the ball and Nani had raised his foot recklessly or with intent... but it wasn't. He simply tried to bring the ball down with a bit of skill and the other player ended up get a prod of the chest. They way he rolled around was pathetic. This is something that happens in every game of football and if a player raises his foot to control a ball means he has to be sent from the pitch then i feel the game is being ruined. Never was that a red card

I agree. Actually if you look at the incident closely in slow motion it appears that he in fact just catches his arm with more of a glancing blow. The Real player went down like he had been felled by a Canadian forest logger.

I'm over the moon when our biggest teams lose any game, but particularly when they get knocked out in Europe. British football is loaded significantly in favour of these clubs and the "Champions" League format and qualification just serves to perpetuate this. I'd back any British clubs that don't often get into Europe, except if they're from London of course!

As for the sending off of Nani, Ferguson would have been baying for a red card had a Real Madrid player made that challenge and clubs like Man Utd get unjust decisions going in their favour week-in, week-out. I don't see him saying anything about those, so I found the whole incident and the ultimate result hilarious. Sulking after the match showed no class, particularly for a club which gets so many dodgy decisions in its favour.

We can but also hope that PSG get knocked out in the next round so that we can spared yet more shots of Beckham sitting in the stand.

OK, you Baggie fans. I really want to see PSG trample over Barça today. And thus ends my profound post on the matter. Move along now ...
