Barcelona vs Manchester United
Uefa Champions League Semifinal 1st leg, 1945 GMT
Barcelona are in crisis. They managed 8 wins and two draws in this season of European football, the same as United, but the Blaugrana haven't faced opposition from the three best leagues, the Premier League, Serie A and the Primera Division. Ronaldinho is out of favour, while Henry is struggling with injuries. Messi comes from another injury and Puyol is suspended for this game. Barca are 11 points behind Real Madrid in the domestic league.
Manchester United look like the best team in England and in Europe. The Red Devils have great attacking prowess with the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Wayne Rooney and Carlos Tevez, while the defence looks so strong with Rio Ferdinand alongside Nemanja Vidic, backed by goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar. United beat AS Roma away in the previous round and I expect goals from the guests tonight.
I predict Manchester United to come away with at least a draw. The odds are so good (1/2).
