Yes Real Madrid it is. Yesterday
draw had paired Man United against Spanish giant of Real Madrid. High profiles
match indeed. A game that many people hope to see in the final not in this
stage.
So we will see the return of
Ronaldo to Old Trafford. The place where people adored and loved him, that made
him a living legend. The place that turned him from ordinary to world class
player. Since his departure to Madrid in 2009, Ronaldo had becoming much better
player. His duel with Messi for the quest of the best player in the world had
developed him into mature and wise guy. Though there issues regarding his
displeasure in Madrid his focus towards each game he played never shattered.
Overall Real Madrid is a great team with great players inside.
Man United sure rely on RVP-
Rooney partnership to destroy Madrid. RVP definitely had created a new dimension
in Man United attacks. It was more dynamic and lethal. Rooney seemed to enjoy
the role of sidekick for RVP while the Dutchman had been scoring for fun. The only worried is in a porous defense. The midfield although
Scholes and Giggs seemed to fade away, the emergence of Tom Cleverley that
clique well with Carrick had given more steady performance.
So both had the finest attacks in
Europe with great attacking flair. Madrid is not invincible and Man United have
a slight advantage over Madrid in that as group winners they will get to play
the second leg at home.
