What to expect from this match?
Manchester United is currently ready for the next round an aggregate. However, Ferguson has already said that both teams will score in the match. Real Madrid are strong, but at the same time Manchester played well in Santiago Bernabeu last match. I believe we will see an attacking performance from Real Madrid and an awaiting Manchester United team.
A quick goal from start to one of the teams will be good for the match as the losing team will have to push forward.
