Round of 4: Leg 2, Day 1 Results

Paul Scholes celebrates his 14th minute strike.

Manchester United 1-0 Barcelona (Agg:1-0 Manchester United advances)


In the end the only thing that separated Manchester United from Barcelona was a Paul Scholes cracker off a botched clearance from Gianluca Zambrotta. Unable to score a goal in 180 minutes of play despite world class talent in their attack, Barcelona return to Catalunya faced with their second consecutive trophy-less season and an almost definite end to the Frank Rijkaard era -- a five year period of prosperity which produced two Spanish League titles and a Champions League trophy. United advance to Moscow where they will compete in the first-ever all-English CL Final against Chelsea or Liverpool.
