Manchester United will host Barcelona for the return leg of the Champions League Semi-Final on Tuesday April 29th Both teams still remain undefeated in Champions League competition, but both teams suffered a loss this weekend. Manchester United lost to Chelsea and Barcelona lost to Deportivo de la Coruna.
Barcelona have Puyol back, but are now missing Yaya Toure because of injury and Rafael Marquez due to bookings. Speaking of bookings United have 3 players in danger of missing the final, assuming United win. Hargreaves, Evra, and Nani. Barcelona also have 3, Messi, Milito, and Toure.
Rooney and Vidic have not yet been confirmed to play on Tuesday. Both players were subbed off against Chelsea for injuries. Vidic took Drogba’s knee to his face and Rooney aggravated his hip after scoring.
Manchester United needs to get back in the drivers seat! The last two games United averaged 34% possession! Sir Alex needs to put a team out there that is capable of scoring, winning and keeping the ball! He needs players that could contribute to the team! Ronaldo needs to get his feet back on solid ground! There is nothing wrong with confidence, but lately Ronaldo has been borderline arrogant. He has not performed well because he is trying to do to much. He is not passing and he thinks every time he goes down he deserves a call.
Don’t get me wrong, Ronaldo is a great player. I think he has what it takes to carry United to both the Champions League Final and the Premier League Title, but he needs to get back to how he was playing.
