I see no one finished this thread... I wonder why... Oh, perhaps it's because they actually managed to beat them in the game? 4-3 United.

United were well beaten over two legs, but only lost to the world's best team by one goal.

Hard to take the piss out of that biggrin:

Real Madrid were consumate at times. A world class act, that's for sure. Unbeatable? Not really. But damn you have to outscore them to beat them there's no other way about it.

The difference between them and United comes down to this: They don't miss very often.

United had enough chances to win the game by 2-3 goals but missed a lot of their chances. You can't afford to do that at European level and they don't deserve to go through.

Madrid were average in defence but damn are they out of this world in attack.

They had, what, 5 real chances in the whole match (I don't class Ronaldo's 3rd goal as a chance, that was pure class). They scored 3 of them.

United had over 10 chances and only managed 4 (only? lol).

Not good enough.

Honestly, I find it difficult to take the piss out of a team who represent the only British threat in this competition. Especially when they beat Real Madrid once and Juventus twice in a season.

Name me another British team who are close to them in European competition and I'll have something to take the piss out of. Real would have torn any other British team to shreds in this tie and you know it.

United did themselves proud. Losing by only one goal.

No wonder this thread died out before the game finished.

Funny.
