Real Madrid vs Manchester United, 1st Leg

1. 94'

   That return leg in three weeks time should be another cracker, and though United will fancy their chances after this draw, I reckon Real might still edge it.

2. 94'

   <b>FULL TIME</b> - no time for the corner to be taken, which annoys some of United's players but the clock had struck bang on 93. An excellent result for them though, and it could have been better had RVP taken his chances. Real were good in patches but will be disappointed not to be taking a lead to Old Trafford.

3. 93'

   Good ball from Jones to RVP after the free kick had been cleared and his volley is flicked behind by Lopez. Good save.

4. 92'

   RVP battles well to win a free kick off Arbeloa. Dangerous position. Lump it in the box, or stroke it around?

5. 91'

   What a scramble! Modric crosses, Jones blocks Ronaldo's effort then Evans helps out and the ball trickles behind for a United goal kick.

6. 90'

   Three added minutes..

7. 89'

   Ronaldo tries to get onto a Modric pass but Ferdinand tracked him.

8. 88'

   Mourinho seems content with the scoreline as well as Fergie, Pepe on to help the centre halves it seems.

9. 87'

   <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/yellow_card.jpg" height="15"> Valencia is booked after catching Ramos with an elbow. That looked ungainly from the winger.

10. 86'

    United striving to keep their shape as Real try to unlock some space.

11. 85'

    What a hit from Ronaldo. De Gea was rooted to the spot as his free kick from 35 yards dipped on top of the net. Wow.

12. 84'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> And now Rooney comes off after a quiet night. Anderson is on.

13. 84'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> Last Real change - Pep on for Alonso.

14. 83'

    Sterling work from Giggs - a brilliant tackle to dispossess Ozil, then a trick to get past Arbeloa and win a free kick.

15. 82'

    Pepe is stripping. Good news for United.

16. 81'

    Oh what a chance for Giggs! An Evra cross breaks for Giggs who HAS to hit it first time but he tries to beat an onrushing defender. Fergie is furious.

17. 80'

    Well worked by Modric to find Arbeloa and a header behind from Evans, who was off balance a little.

18. 79'

    Excellent save from De Gea as a scramble breaks for Khedira who gets a good connection on a half volley. The keeper is across swiftly to cling on.

19. 78'

    Direct running from Khedira, helped by a Valencia slip. Corner.

20. 77'

    Good improvisation from Higuain who has a stab at goal from the edge of the box as he was falling to the floor. De Gea over smartly to save.

21. 76'

    Higuain gets a cross in from the right and Ferdinand clears.

22. 75'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> Real change, arguably their best player, Di Maria, makes way for Modric.

23. 74'

    United clear Real's latest corner - their 11th.

24. 73'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> Those were big, big chances for United. You'd back RVP to finish one of those. Now a change, Valencia on for Welbeck.

25. 72'

    Then RVP has another sensational chance as he chests down a ball and has a free volley on goal from eight yards, scuffs it and watches as Alonso scampers back to clear off the line!
