So excited for this match tomorrow. My #1 English team against my #1 Spanish team. I just hope United bring back something to Old Trafford to attack on. We need a goal and I'm optimistic we can get one. Jose has the better record against Sir Alex though; that's something for me to worry about I guess.
What a match though, the dream match of European football imo. The two most popular clubs worldwide -- incredible match up. Anyone else as excited as me?
People are labeling Ronaldo and Van Persie as the main players, but I disagree. If Rooney turns up in style then United have a great chance. I think tomorrow BPL fans will see the reason why Spanish media hold Carrick in such a high regard too. As for Madrid, I think Benzema or Di Maria are going to need to turn up. United will have a game plan for Ronaldo -- which will most likely be Phil Jones -- and Rafael is in hot form at right back and can come up against anyone in my opinion, so they'll need to attack Evra. Evra is United's weak link at the back, so if Di Maria turns it on they could have success.
Also, a battle not even mentioned, Cassilas vs De Gea. Both have been inconsistent this year but are still incredible shot-stoppers. If you want a successful Champions League campaign then you need a good keeper. Whichever one of those plays well tomorrow gives their team a huge chance.
