Scholes' strikes United into Moscow!!

Finally, since 1999, they are now into the FINAL!

Paul Scholes 14th minute strike ensure that the Red Devils are into the Final since their famous treble win in 1999. But while Sir Alex Ferguson looks for the second European Cup that eluded Sir Matt Busby and, so far, him, for Scholes the Luzhniki Stadium represents a night to savour. For, when Ferguson is reminded of that spine-tingling victory over Bayern Munich at the Nou Camp, two of his favourite sons are always missing.One is Roy Keane, who famously spoke of his discomfort at being part of proceedings in his grey suit. The other is Scholes.Never one to offer three words when one will do, Scholes has always claimed not to be haunted by the fact he was a bystander on such a famous occasion.But secretly, it must hurt. It certainly hurts Ferguson, who has always regarded the midfield maestro as one of the most influential players of his generation. So there was something fitting about Scholes being the man who should thrash United in front.

the goal that sent United into Moscow!

And they go "BARCA WHO?"
Magnificent goal!!

The hosts had barely threatened the Barcelona penalty area, let alone actually get into it when Xavi slid in to tackle Cristiano Ronaldo. Inexplicably, Xavi tried to force a pass to Yaya Toure, only to find Scholes instead. His last European goal might have been in October 2006 but the 32-year-old lacks nothing in confidence and from 30 yards magnificently belted the ball beyond Victor Valdes. The rest of the match was heart-pounding, with back-to-back attacks from both sides. Manchester United missed a lot of chances to double the scoreline, and with Barcelona dominating possession, Manchester United couldn't sit back and relax at all, realising an equalizing goal by Barcelona will kill their chances in entering the finals. Had Nani or Wes Brown found the net with flick headers, United would have the match concluded by half time. The television commentator commented that were Ronaldo at that position, he should have score it. Nevertheless a night of celebration for the Red Devils!!
