U sef, shut d Bleep up. D ref has d final say, som wil giv nd som wunt giv. Unfortunately 4 man u d ref was d typ dat wud giv a red 4 those kind of challenges. Every ref has his own view regardless of d rulz dat y dey r human. Y did nani pretend like he was d 1 dat ws hit, dats cos he knew wot he did.

Last year Chelsea was 2-0 down and a man down from first half at Barcelona.
Ended up drawing 2-2 and them say na luck !

Now a man down at home with only 30 mins left una no fit defend.

What still amazes me is that after the red card, mourinho knew the exact thing to do to maximize the opportunity...and he did it, and it worked like a miracle

All hail the special one!!!!!!

And what do you expect him to say? And what have you to say to Mou saying Man U were better? He just showering praises to Man U because of his relationship with SAF.

Even Mourinho said he doesn't think the red card was the right decision.

First, close that your stinking teeth, secondly, you can't compare Madrid's defence and the performance of their keeper to that of barca's. Valdez is a basket, and barca are known for not having good defence. Like you didn't see how many saves madrid keeper had to make. If you know football, you won't be doing this kind of stvpid comparison.

Manchester United's Champions League ambitions ended in controversial circumstances that left manager Sir Alex Ferguson and his players enraged at Old Trafford.
United looked on course for a place in the quarter-finals at Real Madrid's expense after Sergio Ramos's own goal just after half-time gave them a platform to build on the 1-1 draw from the first leg at the Bernabeu.
The tie was transformed by Turkish referee Cuneyt Cakir's decision to send off Nani for an aerial challenge on Real Madrid defender Alvaro Arbeloa after 56 minutes - a red card that reduced Ferguson and his players to fury.
Jose Mourinho's side, a subdued force until then, took advantage ruthlessly with two goals in three minutes from ex-Tottenham midfield man Luka Modric and former United golden boy Cristiano Ronaldo to move into the last eight.
Real wreck United's run
The defeat was Manchester United first in a Champions League knockout game at Old Trafford since February 2005 - a 1-0 defeat to AC Milan
Thanks to their win, Real Madrid are the only visiting team to have won more than once at Old Trafford in the Champions League
Source: Opta
United responded superbly with a typical late rally that brought a series of fine saves from Real keeper Diego Lopez, but events midway through a dramatic second half settled the destiny of an enthralling game.
Ferguson's body language after Nani's dismissal screamed anger and injustice and he had good reason to feel United could well have been taking their place in the latter stages until the referee's intervention.
Mourinho now moves on towards his target of a third Champions League with three different clubs while United must concentrate on domestic matters as they close in on a 20th title with a commanding 12-point lead in the Premier League and a place in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup.
Ferguson's decision to drop Wayne Rooney was another of the bold selection decisions the Scot is adept at taking - he also gave Ryan Giggs his 1,000th professional appearance - and he was rewarded with a first half display that mixed strict defensive discipline with attacking threat on the break.
Ronaldo received a rapturous reception that echoed around Old Trafford, responding with a wave and a tap of the hand on his heart in return.
Real's superstar was kept at arm's length in the first half, wasting a free-kick then being frustrated by a fine challenge from United captain Nemanja Vidic when he finally found space in the area.
And Vidic came closest to breaking the deadlock in an engrossing contest when his header hit the post from a Giggs corner, with Danny Welbeck being ruled offside as he attempted to turn in the rebound.
Welbeck's energy and movement was a feature of United's play but he was unable to turn in an inviting rebound when Lopez failed to hold Robin van Persie's initial effort.
Ronaldo scores again
Cristiano Ronaldo has scored eight goals in eight Champions League games this season, and 18 in his last 18

Real suffered a blow towards the end of the first half when the dangerous Angel di Maria pulled up holding his hamstring and was replaced by Brazilian Kaka.
United did make the breakthrough three minutes after half-time when Nani won the ball back from Raphael Varane as he failed to clear in the area and his cross took the faintest touch off Welbeck before Ramos deflected the ball past Lopez.
It was reward for United's efforts - but events were to suddenly conspire against them and take this tie beyond their control after 56 minutes.
Nani went into a high challenge with Arbeloa but his eyes were on the ball throughout and United were stunned when referee Cakir waited for the Portuguese to get back on his feet before producing the red card.
Ferguson raced into his technical area to protest while United's players surrounded the official to no avail - United's manager then turning to all parts of Old Trafford and raising his arms and clenching his fists to plead for even louder support.
It came but the sense that the game had taken a crucial turn against United was underscored as Real struck to make the most of their numerical advantage with two quick goals.
Mourinho's reaction to the red card was to replace Arbeloa with Modric, who took the opportunity to put his struggles at the Bernabeu behind him at the worst possible time for United with a fine equaliser after 66 minutes.
He showed a fine change of pace on the edge of the area before swerving a 20-yard shot past United keeper David de Gea and into the net via the post.
And, inevitably, Ronaldo made his impact with Real's second three minutes later, turning in Gonzalo Higuain's cross from a tight angle at the far post. His celebrations were muted but the travelling Real supporters packed into a corner of Old Trafford were ecstatic.
Rooney was introduced for Tom Cleverley as United showed the spirit and fight that is their trademark as they tackled an impossible task.
Lopez saved crucially from Michael Carrick and Van Persie while Rooney shot over and into the Stretford End from 10 yards.
The keeper also saved acrobatically from another Vidic header although Real remained dangerous on the break with Kaka hitting the post and Ronaldo bringing saves from De Gea.
A night of frustration was summed up by jeers aimed at the referee at the final whistle, jeers that soon turned to applause for United's disappointed players.

The referee was right to give the red card. Nani's attempt to
control the ball turned into a karate kick when he realised he
wasn't going to reach it and his opponent was going to take the
ball on his chest and run past him. Had such a high kick come
from a Madrid player on one of his own team, Ferguson would
have been in the fourth official's face demanding a dismissal - and
he would have been right. You can't go for the ball with a boot
high off the ground and studs showing. It's now a straight red card

@bodykiss

And if you know football you'll not be arguing with the Ref's decision in this instant,plus you would've known/seen that RM was the better team in this match today.. In football, officials don't and are not supposed to care about intentions...the rule clearly states "no studs" because it's considered dangerous play. Accident or no accident Nani went in spikes up- automatic red card. The ref has to make the call the same no matter how significant the match. Any time you go in recklessly you are taking the risk of being sent off. Every player and coach knows this.Man U couldn't score, Real Madrid scored all three goals

Abegi you are a sore bunch of loser, when torres was red carded, shelvey red card, chicharito's offside goal and many more. So don't complain, law of karma is hunting you.


the truth is to park the bus & win is better than been beaten black & blue jare.

man u pls keep to this defeat jare, many more to come.

Well dat is another way of looking at it when u re watching football wit sentiments. Did u notice real madrid did not have a single shot on target b4 d red card. Alonso , ozil, di maria and even d almighty ronaldo were no where to be found, as a fan of whichever english club, "arsenal or chelsea ( cos am sure u re not a madrid fan)", I understand ur reservations about manchester united but as a fan of d game of football, u should be objective enough to admit d obvious. It is a uefa tin, right from d first leg, d game is losing its credibility even d draws are influenced. Real madrid re too big a team to celebrate dis undeserved and unwarranted victory. It was served to them on a platter of gold.

Footie is not sumtin you discuss with sentiments, even did hard Man Utd haters I know have accepted that the referee deserves to be shot. Even Madrid's Varane has admitted his shock with the decision and so are other seasoned analysts worldwide. It feels like everytime Uefa needs a job to be done, they send the turkish scum,remember John Terry's sending off against Barcelona? All hail Platini!

fresh_dude: Indeed. I support Real, but I think he could have been lenient. That was a totally unintentional foul.



"A tackle that endangers the safety of an
opponent must be sanctioned as serious foul play."
"A player guilty of serious foul play should be sent
off..." Source? FIFA refs rule book. Doesn't matter if
he saw him or not. He should've been more aware of
his surroundings.

U re very right bro!
Man U should
not cry, the Nani that Sir Fergie hates has become his

convinced anyone that it was deliberate.

ManU wins due to poor officiating: "Glory glory ManU"

ManU loses due to poor officiating: "The referee should be executed"

^^Just a trend I noticed. Only weaklings do that.


ManU had a goal advantage when the red came and less than 45 mins to keep it, innit?

Last season, CFC played over 75mins against the almighty Barca with 10 men and won the tie in style right in front of Barca's home crowd. Y'all said na bus-parking and anti-football/ negative football. Wasn't it the chelsea approach AC Milan adopted to beat Barca at the San Siro a couple of weeks ago?


Moral of the story: Nani's red card is no excuse to lose. Learn to be strong and take responsibilities for your actions and inactions.
Weak ManU team... a.k.a Ojoro united. Good riddance!:p

KTBFFH!!

You guys should shut up! How dare you compare ManU with Barca just because they played a draw at Bernabeu. Yes, they were leading 1-0 (which was nothing) cos Madrid must score or were you guys expecting Madrid to play 90 minutes against ManU without a goal, with or without the red card?
