Gonna be a great match at Camp Nou in a few weeks. I still expect Barca to move on, but it’s definitely no sure thing.

"Can Manchester United score? They always score... Peter Schmeichel is forward... Beckham, in towards Schmeichel- it's come for Dwight Yorke. Cleared... Giggs with a shot- SHERINGHAM!"

I still think Barca advances...

but they looked complacent in that 2nd half. The only times all year Barca hasn’t won a game, they’ve been without Carlos Puyol.
