59: GOAL - GIGGS. Not taken long to level matters - plenty of fortune about it though. Giggs curls the free-kick in and it takes a massive deflection off the wall and ends up in the corner.

| 78: GOAL - CARRICK. Evra, Rooney, Berbatov and Giggs all involved in the set-up from the throw, with Carrick curling one home confidently with his right foot from arond 16 yards to give United the lead.

| Great result for United against the Bundesliga champions.
From Sporting LifeThat's it. Been a really interesting game - refreshing to see a team visit Old Trafford and not 'park the bus' - and Wolfsburg have emerged with great credit. That said, it's six points from six for United and they're on course for the next round.[/i
Two goals from Ronalado and a Kaka penalty means Real Madrid beat Mille 3-0.

| Quote: Enfield Exile "Who? What? Is it actually one word?
Mancs call scousers 'bindippers'. Calling Mancs 'skiprats' is a very poor comeback. Especially when you live in a town that has nothing to it, and is famous for being between manchester and Liverpool, and the home town of Kerry Katona. The little street I live on has a more impressive history.
Even though I wanted LFC to win last night, I quite enjoyed the Fiorentina game. I generally dislike the round-robin element of the Champions League but I thought it was a decent game.
Jovetic played well. Can't make my mind up if he will excel at being a No9 or No10.'"
Its an alliterative term - Salford skiprats.
Tonight witnessed how injury time should be played at Old Trafford, Premier League referees take note.

| Quote: Dan_FC "I don't really get your point tbh, basically you claim because it's a group format there is less chance of an upset or a 'smaller' team going through but surely in a straight knock out competition the bigger side will, as you put it, invariably go through anyway, it's what generally happens in any cup format, barring the odd slip. You're are right any side over two legs can win, however, if in a group format a side like Wolfsburg for example beat United and then draw (which would obviously put them out in a straight knock out) that will then give them a four point advatage over United and a good opportunity to progress.
The point you make about a side being able to win over two legs and go through is what's being avoided in a group format, a team has to be consistent over 6 games in order to go through not just play well in two and be rewarded to go into the next round.'"
As a point of pedantry, in that example Wolfsburg would only have a 3 point advantage, as United would get a point from the draw too.
My complaint is that consistency is being rewarded but the cost is the excitement being spread much more thinly over 6 games rather than just 2. That the mini leagues are more predictable means there is less excitement to go around in the first place too. IMO the group stages of the CL are far from compelling viewing. The difference in intensity for the knockout ties is massive and I'd welcome more of that from earlier in the season. Man Utd and the other big (ie rich) clubs of course wouldn't. The cynic in me thinks this is more about guaranteeing revenue than ensuring consistency is rewarded.

That's exactly what it is the Champions League system currently in use was basically UEFA's way of preventing a breakaway European Super League of some form or other.

Hmm not seen the report but did they mention the wolfsburg goal that was marginally off side or the two goals chalked off thet were touch and go for the real reds?
Thought tonight the widemen played well but the of midfield was a concern. They were good going forward in spells but when it came to defending there was no urgency to get back and cover the defence like we've seen if previous seasons

There must have been three Man United goals ruled out for offside then, because Giggs was a mile offside when he had his disallowed.

9 in 7 for Ronaldo.
Thought Carrick had a very good game tonight, more like last season's form.
