Real Madrid's second last night was a gem. Started with a Casillas throw out and finished off with a crisp Benzema finish. From start to finish the whole move must have taken less than ten seconds and Guti's final pass... quality

Just seen it on a popular video sharing website. Can't and won't admit to being a Guti fan, but that was nice.

Devastating counter attack from United. Reminiscent of the one from the CL last year.

Not great keeping, but stunning from Nani for the first.

Was just thinking that (as were the BBC )
Sometimes you have to just stand up an applaud. That is as good a counter attacking goal as you'll see. United broke with frightening pace - it's like last season's Champions League final all over again. What a goal.

Both United goals were world class, even if nani's had a touch of good fortune about it.

News just in: Manager Roberto Mancini has revealed some of Manchester City's players wore shirts bearing the words "Team Bridge" in support of team-mate Wayne Bridge during their Premier League win over Portsmouth.

Just read that after I wrote it. Shame it wasn't the final though, eh.

Have thought it will be a Barça v Chelsea final all year but the way Madrid are starting to shape up I'm starting to have second thoughts.
Second half is going to be a cracker.

I think a CL final will be a year too early for Madrid, but you can never rule them out. I'm really not sure, it's obviously too early to predict but so many games, especially between the English and Spanish, could be decided by a toss of a coin.

Talking of devastating, I doubt anybody's watching it, but what a minute for Bayer Leverkusen. Two goals scored, the first coming from an outstanding cross by Barnetta who was mentioned on here a few weeks back.

I miss Hyypia , he's just scored as well

Leverkusen fans chanting 'Oh Sammy Sammy!', superb stuff!

About time United gave everyone an away performance in the league against one of the big boys
