That is right ladies and gentlemen. You read that score correctly. ManU laid an abosolute shit kicking on Roma yesterday in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League quater-final (I'm a little late since I only watched the game today and I didnt want to look at any scores until I watched the game). It was an abosolute beauty game to watch. ManU had lost 2-1 to Roma last week in the first leg. This game was supposed to be close. Supposed to be. ManU, who had not scored before the 29th minute at all this Champions League opened the scoring in the 11th minute by an great goal from Michael Carrick. Alan Smith scored in the 17th minute and Wayne Rooney added another in the 19th. Ronaldo scored just before halftime in the 44th minute.
4 goals in one half is money. ManU completely dominated Roma. They had 8 shots on target and 4 were goals. The only thing that Roma led in was possession at 58% but that doesn't mean much when you are down 4 at half-time. Roma's fortunes did not fare any better in the second half.
ManU added 3 more goals in the second half. Ronaldo potted his second in the 49th minute. Carrick also got his second in the 60th minute. His was the best of the match. An abosolute snipe from outside the 18-yard box. Patrice Evra, who came on for John O'Shea gave ManU seven in the 81st minute. Daniele De Rossi did score a rather nice goal for Roma in the 69th but it was far too little too late. ManU advanced on 8-3 aggregate. They now play AC Milan in the semi-finals. They should be tough but if they continue in this form ManU will have no trouble lifting the Champions League trophy.
I was a little miffed that Fergie did not start Solskjaer. He eventually did come on as a sub but he should have started in place of Smith. I have no idea why he started Smith, considering this was only his 4th start of the season. It turned out to be a smart move considering he scored but I would have liked to Solskjaer start.
