closer to the glory

A great performance was shown by Wayne Rooney who has just scored a couple of goals in the match against Milan.

Although everybody expected to see the unstopable Christiano Ronaldo making what he knows, this star couldn't shine as much as red devils wanted but he was part of the first goal.

The author of the other two goals was Wayne Rooney and his good tecnic.

Red devils are ready for the next match it promises to be full of emotion.

Re-Live: Manchester United 7-1 Roma

Manchester United produced a performance beyond superlatives to sweep aside Roma and book a place in the Champions League semi-final with a remarkable seven goals that left Roma in ruins and the rest of Europe in awe.

Michael Carrick (2), Cristiano Ronaldo (2), Alan Smith, Wayne Rooney and Patrice Evra were the men on the scoresheet but all fourteen players who took part deserve a share of the abundant praise after a performance that will be remembered long after they've hung up their talented boots - regardless of whether this leads to glory in Athens or not.

For those supporters still nursing the scars of that terrifying ordeal in the Italian capital, revenge was indeed sweet. Retribution, as was fit and proper, came in the form of a sound beating, and not the sort dished out by baton-wielding police.
Three goals inside the first 20 minutes, four in the opening half, six within the hour, sent United into the semi-finals of the Champions League for the first time in five seasons. Never before have United overcome a first leg deficit to progress into the next round of the knock-out stage. As for scoring seven goals, their previous best was five.
