Man Utd Crash Out....

What a come back from Bayern Munich at theater of dreams!! The game started with surprise inclusion of Rooney. Bayern defenders were left gasping by the pace of Utd wingers. The first goal for the red devils arrived on the 3 min mark. A superb drive by Gibson shocked Butt. Minutes later Utd made it 2-0 with Nani scoring through a back flick of Valencia's drive in the box. And then Nani scored again with 4 mins left in the half as terrible marking by bavarian defenders gave him ample space and time to fire into the top of the net. Meanwhile there were some astonishing tackles on Bayern players. Rafael got booked for schoolboy stuff. He had done wonderfully well in containing the threat of Ribbery until then. Now he had to be careful which gave freedom to the winger. As the first half end approached Utd conceded a goal. Terrible defending by Carrick left Olic to beat Van Der Saar and he did that to bring the Germans back into the game. One more goal from the visitors then Utd have to score again. Late first half goal gave confidence to Munich players and they started the second half well. 50 mins gone and Rafael gets booked and gets sentenced for hauling back Ribbery. It was total naivity from the young player. Similar offence had been committed and punished in the Carling cup, but the lad doesn't seem to have learnt from it. Rooney was replaced by John O'Shea and the Germans had their best in terms of possesion. With the Bayern wingers free more chances were created. 16 mins before the end Ribbery took a corenr and setup the ball beautifully to unmarked Robben who controlled it superbly to smash it past Utd defenders and goalie into the bottom corner. The comeback was completed. Bayern munich deserve to be in the semis with their never say die attitude. Utd have now been beaten 3 times in a row. With the financial benefits from Champ Lge gone, their situation may get worse. They may again be forced to sell players in the transfer window. Also Rooney's injury needs to be nursed and SAF will hope that he recovers intime to face Balckburn at the weekend and the local derby at eastlands.
