Play by play
- 93'
Full time. What a dull affair. Why Villarreal held out for a 0-0 draw when Manchester United entertain Aalborg at home next is beyond me. They'll finish second and get a horror knockout draw. Serves them right. Cheerio.
- 92'
Aalborg have taken the lead at home to Celtic, which means the hoops may not even get UEFA Cup football if they don't pull their finger out.
- 91'
El Madrigal crowd howl whenever Ronaldo gets the ball now. The boy wonder looks hurt.
- 90'
We're just winding down the clock now. Three minutes to go in stoppage time.
- 89'
So, as it stands both Arsenal and Manchester United will progress.
- 88'
Arsenal have nicked it. Bendtner has scored from a Fabregas pass.
- 87'
Ibagaza falls over with Rooney chasing, ref awards free-kick. Maybe a touch of guilt for the red card perhaps?
- 86'
Carrick off, Tevez on.
- 84'
Nani has a kick out at Franco and the crowd is going ballistic. Nani off, JS Park on.
- 83'
Oh! A straight red for Capdevila after a foul on Ronaldo. Not much in it really, a bit of a high leg, and it was late, yes, but that's never a straight red. Ronaldo did his bit of course.
- 82'
Little mix-up between Ferdinand and Kuszczak there, a la Carson and Terry. No harm done though.
- 80'
Darren Gibson has come on for Darren Fletcher. Yes, I know, who?
- 79'
Chance! My word a chance! Carrick's ball, Rooney past the last man but on the left, his cross deflects off Fuentes and Capdevila heads off his own line.
- 78'
Villarreal are clearly gunning for a 0-0 draw. Its United doing all the pressing.
- 77'
Rossi comes off, Franco comes on.
- 75'
Aalborg have equalised against Celtic. Hard not to laugh really.
- 74'
Carrick nicks the ball off Rossi but fails to pick out Rooney with a slide rule pass.
- 73'
Rio atones for an error that allowed Fernandez time and space in the box.
- 72'
I meant preparing of course, just didn't catch the spello in time. I've altered it though so for years to come it'll be like it never existed. "And just like that, pohhh, he's gone."
- 71'
Tevez is preparing to come on.
- 69'
Great flick from Rooney finds Anderson, his ball for Ronny is ambitious but he nearly made it. United still attacking though, oh, apart from now, when they're not.
- 68'
Good last ditch tackle from O'Shea. United had committed plenty of men forward when Ronaldo wasted possession all of a sudden.
- 67'
Will someone please score please? Pleeeease? It was 0-0 at Old Trafford in the reverse fixture too.
- 66'
Rooney gets in after a ball over the top and hits a vicious shot in the spin. Once again, it is right at the keeper but he does well to err, well, stand there.
- 65'
Pires off, Fernandez on.
