Manchester United Goes to Moscow

Yes! After some nine years of waiting, Manchester United successfully made it to the UEFA Champions League final, to be held in Moscow, Russia on May 21 this year. Manchester United defeated FC Barcelona 1-0 at Old Trafford, Manchester in the second leg of the semi-final match between the two clubs after the goalless draw from their first encounter at Nou Camp, Barcelona.

Paul Scholes scored the only goal of the match from a fantastic long-range effort that the Barcelona goalkeeper could only watch in vain early in the game. Lionel Messi played really well for Barcelona but could not break Manchester United solid defense. Both teams were equally matched on the night but Manchester United held on to the solitary goal till the end of the match.

Their final opponent will be decided between Liverpool and Chelsea tomorrow night.
