Lacklustre show at Camp Nou

Samuel Eto'o said before the match that Messi "plays amazing football,as if he were on PlayStation"....The entire show yesterday was lacklustre,mundane football with neither team showing a hunger to score goals..especially United,considering that it was an away tie for them and they would have loved to notch up a goal or two.They had their chances though,the closest of them being Ronaldo's surprising missed penalty...the Red Devils,coincidentally,resembled a kid who was playing his first "professional" level game on his PlayStation..They struggled,with amazingly less shots on target,particularly considering that Barca are not in top form.Fergie tried rotating his men,Nani's introduction for Roon doing no good to the team.

The only superb performance of the game came from old foe Thierry Henry with a couple of shots from outside the box which stung van der sar's fingertips,and a trademark free kick which was just saved by our goalie.Rijkaard could've substituted Henry for Messi,instead of Bojan Krkic...some more time on the field,and he would have made all the difference

United have themselves to blame,and nothing less than a win at Old Trafford will take them to Moscow. But considering the talent and bench strength that United have,fans can afford to fancy their team's chances,what with the next one being a home game...
