Porto beaucoup trop fort! (Video)
Non, il n’y aura pas de doublé C1-C3 espagnol. Villarreal a déjà dit adieu aux rêves de finale d’Europa League, en se prenant une gifle à cinq doigts (5-1) sur la pelouse de Porto. Falcao en a claqué quatre. Petit joueur.
FC Porto - Villarreal : 5-1
Buts : Falcao (49eme, sp, 68eme, 75eme et 90eme) et Guarin (62eme) pour FC Porto - Cani (45eme) pour Villarreal
Buts : Falcao (49eme, sp, 68eme, 75eme et 90eme) et Guarin (62eme) pour FC Porto - Cani (45eme) pour Villarreal
Oui, ce FC Porto est impressionnant. Peut-être autant que celui de Mourinho, qui avait remporté la Ligue des Champions en 2004. Entraînée par le disciple du Mou, Andre Villas-Boas, l’équipe bleue et blanche a éclaboussé de sa classe cette demi-finale aller, ne laissant aucun doute quant à sa participation à la finale de Dublin, le 18 mai prochain. Villarreal a explosé, après avoir pourtant maîtrisé la première période, rentrant même aux vestiaires avec un but d’avance. Un but qui a finalement eu le mérite de réveiller les ardeurs portugaises. Porto a alors démontré, en l’espace de 45 minutes, pourquoi il n’avait pas perdu le moindre match en championnat cette année. Non, ce n’est pas parce que le championnat portugais est une compétition en bois. Pas du tout même. C’est juste parce que cette équipe-là est très solide, qu’elle aime jouer au ballon, et qu’elle peut compter sur une paire d’attaquants (Hulk et Falcao) magnifique. Le Brésilien est meilleur buteur du championnat, le Colombien meilleur buteur de l’Europa League. Qu’il s’agisse de Benfica ou de Braga en finale (léger avantage aux Lisboètes après le premier round), on voit mal qui pourrait arrêter cette machine de guerre, capable de passer une manita, qui plus est en une mi-temps, au 4ème du championnat espagnol. Du lourd.
Porto attaque, Villarreal contre
Les Portugais commencent le match tambours-battants. Avec un trio d’attaque composé de Rodriguez (ex-PSG), Falcao et Hulk (ex rien du tout), l’objectif est simple : partir à l’assaut. Et c’est ce que fait Porto dès les premières minutes. Le pressing est incessant au milieu de terrain et très vite, la surface de réparation espagnole est assiégée. Mais cette prise de la Bastille version lusitanienne ne dure que huit minutes. Le temps pour Villarreal de placer un contre fulgurant : Nilmar part à la limite du hors-jeu, mais se déchire totalement et rate son duel face à Helton. A défaut d’avoir ouvert la marque, les jaunes ont envoyé un signal aux locaux : eux aussi sont venus pour marquer des buts. En contre-attaque, certes. Mais marquer des buts quand même.
L’arbitre, rapide, ne met quand à lui que dix minutes pour se faire détester par tout un stade. Il ignore des petites mains baladeuses des joueurs espagnols, et sort un carton jaune à la première faute portugaise. Mais Porto n’en a cure. Néanmoins, leurs attaques sont confuses. Des erreurs de passe, pas beaucoup d’idées. Résultat : aucune occasion franche à se mettre sous la dent jusqu’à une frappe sèche de Hulk, aux 20 mètres, qui termine sa course à quelques centimètres du but. Villarreal continue à appliquer sa recette : des contres amorcés par Rossi et Nilmar qui, par deux fois, se retrouvent en situation favorable. Sans succès. Monsieur Kuipers continue son opération amour envers le public, en mettant une biscotte à Hulk pour simulation dans la surface. Pourtant, il y avait bien faute. Mais à force de s’exposer et de ne pas créer d’occasions franches, Porto se fait cueillir à froid. Alors qu’il ne reste que quelques secondes avant la pause, Borja Valero lance Nilmar, qui centre au cordeau pour Cani. Coup de tête. Helton est dans les choux. 1-0. Silence de mort dans le stade du Dragon. Tous aux vestiaires.
Falcao superstar
Mais dès le retour, les joueurs de Villas Boas affichent un nouveau visage, plus conquérant. Dès la 2ème minute, Falcao danse avec la ligne du hors-jeu, et dans un tout petit périmètre, réussit à éviter Diego Lopez, qui le fauche. Pénalty. Le Colombien se fait justice lui-même. 1-1. La furie est déclenchée. A partir de là, Villarreal disparaît littéralement de la pelouse. Et coule. Porto déroule. L’équipe espagnole se prend des tartes dans tous les sens, et cela va beaucoup trop vite pour réussir à se relever. A l’heure de jeu, l’ancien Stéphanois Guarin s’offre un petit festival sur le côté droit, ponctué par un but rageur de la tête. Le stade du Dragon est en ébullition, surtout lorsque 60 secondes plus tard, Falcao est tout prêt d’enfoncer le clou, mais glisse. Pas sur un clou, heureusement. Ce n’est que partie remise. Cinq minutes passent, et l’attaquant sud-américain profite d’un superbe travail de Hulk, son alter ego, pour planter un doublé. Un doublé, c’est bien. Mais un triplé, c’est mieux.
Quelques minutes s’écoulent à nouveau, et Falcao est encore ponctuel pour reprendre de la tête un coup-franc de Guarin. Quatre à un. Triplé. Les mots sont simples, justes, limpides. Villarreal a la tête sous l’eau. Normal pour un sous-marin, certes. Mais pas à ce point. Le seul bon moment de la seconde période pour les jaunes, c’est l’entrée en jeu du jeune Mubarak. Il y a tellement de vannes à faire sur son nom que l’on s’abstiendra. Par respect. Un respect pour l’adversaire que n’a pas Falcao. Humilier, il s’en fout, rabaisser, il adore. Dans les arrêts de jeu, l’avant-centre colombien inscrit de la tête son quatrième but de la soirée, s’envolant en tête du classement des buteurs de la compétition, avec 15 réalisations en 13 matches. Messiesque. Porto s’impose finalement 5-1. Comme face au Spartak, qui en avait également pris cinq au retour. Villarreal est prévenu : l’ogre portugais n’est jamais rassasié
Résumé du match!!
Cristiano Ronaldo Pas impréssioné par Messi
CR7 mauvais perdant !
Si Lionel Messi a subjugué les observateurs grâce à son doublé à Madrid en demi-finale aller de la Ligue des Champions, il en faut plus pour impressionner Cristiano Ronaldo.
« C'est toujours la même chose »
Après la défaite (0-2) concédé à Santiago Bernabeu sur deux buts de l'incontournable Leo Messi, Crisitano Ronaldo a préféré, à l'instar de son entraîneur, critiquer l'arbitrage : « C'est toujours la même chose. Nous terminons à dix. Je ne comprends pas. Il était impossible de parler avec l'arbitre car c'était le carton assuré. »
« C'est plus facile contre dix joueurs »
Que l'expulsion de Pepe ait influé sur le résultat de la rencontre, certainement. Mais CR7 relativise également la performance du Ballon d'or : « Messi ? Il est fort, mais c'est plus facile contre dix joueurs. Je voudrais moi aussi jouer en supériorité numérique parfois. » De là à penser que Ronaldo est mauvais perdant...
« Je n'aime pas jouer comme ça »Au-delà de ces considérations toutes personnelles sur l'arbitrage, Cristiano Ronaldo a tout de même émis quelques doutes sur la tactique adoptée par le Real Madrid sur ce match : « Je n'aime jouer comme cela, mais je n'ai pas d'autre choix que de m'adapter. » Une frustration qui s'est exprimée notamment en début de match, lorsque Ronaldo pressait seul dans la moitié de terrain adverse.
Il ne reste désormais qu'un match à Cristiano Ronaldo pour prouver qu'il peut égaler, voire dépasser Lionel Messi. Rendez-vous au Camp Nou.

De Jong joue en MLS!!!!!!
Lors d'une rencontre de MLS Steve Zakuani a subi un tacle assassin d'un disciple de Nigel De Jong. Pas besoin de médecin pour comprendre que sa jambe est cassée. Les images suffisent amplement
Lors d'une rencontre entre les Seattle Sounders et les Colorado Rapids, Steve Zakuani a subi un véritable attentat d'un adversaire qui admire visiblement Nigel De Jong. L'image est terrible et rappelle étrangement une blessure d'un certain Djibril Cissé. Sauf que la blessure, ici, c'est l'adversaire qui l'a provoqué... et pas qu'un petit peu.

Fernando TORRES first ever goal for Chelsea (video)
The crowd went wild after Torres goal . Torres’ maiden goal for Chelsea came after he latched onto an Anelka ball, broke into the box, turned to keep possession as the ball stuck in the water before drilling home with his left foot. The entire team buried the striker. It was 2-0 Chelsea with six minutes to play and the atmosphere was electric.

Chelsea team-mate expecting torres to continues scoring (video of his goal)
A torrential downpour may not have been popular among residents in west London on Saturday, although Fernando Torres will always remember the torrent of rain that came down on the Stamford Bridge pitch before Chelsea’s match with West Ham. .As the Spaniard tried to round Robert Green, the ball got stuck in some surface water which outfoxed the Hammers defence and allowed the £50 million man to finally break his duck for the Blues, with Frank Lampard now expecting his team-mate to continue scoring goals.“You can’t change quality and you can’t change a world-class player,” Lampard said. “We all go through little patches like this and all the boys understood the pressure he was under. It does affect you if you go a few games without a goal. You start thinking about things rather than doing what’s instinctive.
“I’ve seen him have a lot of misfortune in games: he’s been given offside, keepers have made brilliant saves and even here he was almost tackled by a puddle. But he’s not opened his mouth and said anything when he’s been on the bench.“He’s come on and given everything. Now you’re going to see him fly, whether that’s in the remaining games of this season or next.”
The goal.
Match of the week in la liga: Real Madrid B Vs Valencia.
Karim Benzema scored the first goal, and made 1 asist
Kaka scored a brace, and made 2 asist.
Higuain is back!
Fit-again Real Madrid striker Gonzalo Higuain expressed his delight at bagging a hat-trick.
The Argentina international has missed five months of the season having succumbed to a back injury that ultimately required surgery.
Higuain scored his first goal since November.
"I'm very happy and I'm going to enjoy this," he told AS. "After all the suffering and so much time without playing I'm pleased.
"It's been a long time since I scored,This gives me confidence and I can help the team.
I have to continue playing to get back to my best."
Theses are the highlights.

Barcelona's David Villa: Goal drought is starting to worry me.
The striker hasn't found the net since February and insists there isn't much he can do to start scoring again as well as claiming Barca must stay calm after Copa del Rey loss
David Villa, Espanyol, Barcelona (Getty Images)
The prolific striker hasn't found the net since his brace for Spain in the Euro 2012 qualifier against Czech Republic on March 25, while his last goal at club level was scored against Real Mallorca on February 26.
"Like everybody else, I'm now starting to get worried about my goal drought as well," Villa was quoted as saying by AS. "There's not really much I can do to get back my scoring boots except keep working very hard."
Villa also looked back at Wednesday's Copa del Rey final loss against Real Madrid and stated that it's crucial for the Catalans to stay focused and finish the season on a high.
"It's important for us to stay calm," he added. "The team gives everything to get good results in the closing stages of the season."
MLS week 6
This weekend's slate of MLS action should help clarify things a bit. On a two-game losing streak, the Colorado Rapids will look to get back to their winning ways tonight when they host the Seattle Sounders at Dick's Sporting Goods Park.
Saturday, the Portland Timbers return to the road when they take on the Los Angeles Galaxy at the Home Depot Center in a stern test for the expansion side. FC Dallas and the Vancouver Whitecaps will also be looking to take a leap in the conference standings when they meet at Empire Field.
Here is a rundown of the entire week six schedule:
COLORADO RAPIDS vs. SEATTLE SOUNDERS (Friday, 9:30 p.m., FSC)
Defending MLS Cup champion Colorado was playing some of the best soccer in the league during it's three-game tear to start the season, but losses at FC Dallas and Real Salt Lake have brought the Rapids back down to earth. They will be hoping the mile-high comforts of Dick's Sporting Goods Park will help them get back on track when they host the Sounders, who are 1-0-3 since losing their first two.
Colorado could be boosted by the returns from injury of striker Conor Casey and captain Pablo Mastroeni, listed as questionable and probable, respectively. Seattle, meanwhile, could return Fredy Montero and Alvaro Fernandez to the starting lineup after the two Designated Players came off the bench to combine on Seattle's last-gasp equalizer at Philadelphia last week.
SAN JOSE EARTHQUAKES vs. CHIVAS USA (Saturday, 4 p.m., Telefutura)
After watching the New York Red Bulls go on the road and dismantle D.C. United with a 4-0 victory, the Earthquakes probably aren't feeling so bad about dropping a 3-0 result at New York last week. And seeing Chivas USA, the only MLS team without a win so far this season, come to town seems like the perfect opportunity to notch a victory and get back into the top half of the Western Conference standings.
It will be interesting to see San Jose coach Frank Yallop's lineup selections after he trotted out a 4-5-1 formation with Chris Wondolowski as the lone striker to less-than-ideal results the past two weeks. Wondolowski notched a hat trick in a 17-minute span when these two teams last played in October, so Chivas will certainly be focusing on the San Jose forward.
TORONTO FC vs. COLUMBUS CREW (Saturday, 4 p.m., Direct Kick)
With a revamped defense featuring three newcomers -- Julius James, Sebastian Miranda and Rich Balchan -- around back-line anchor Chad Marshall, Columbus has surprisingly become one of the league's stingiest defensive sides, having recorded four consecutive shutouts.
Toronto, on the other hand, will likely use a makeshift defense with Ty Harden serving a red-card suspension and Adrian Cann questionable after suffering a pectoral contusion during the Reds' 3-0 home loss to D.C. United last week. Midfielder Alen Stevanovic and forward Alan Gordon are also questionable for Toronto.
VANCOUVER WHITECAPS vs. FC DALLAS (Saturday, 7 p.m., Direct Kick)
Both teams are coming off disappointing results from last week - a scoreless home draw with Chivas for Vancouver and a 3-2 loss at Portland for Dallas. The Whitecaps will have their hands full trying to handle MVP David Ferreira and Dallas' loaded attack, especially with centerbacks Jay DeMerit and Greg Janicki both listed as doubtful.
Forward Atiba Harris is also unlikely to play for Vancouver, which means the Whitecaps will lean heavily on Eric Hassli to pressure Dallas defenders George John and Ugo Ihemelu.
NEW ENGLAND REVOLUTION vs. SPORTING KANSAS CITY (Saturday, 7:30 p.m., Direct Kick)
It could be a night for many debuts in Foxborough, Ma., as New England looks poised to show off newly acquired U.S. national team midfielder Benny Feilhaber and Kansas City could slot the recently signed Aurelien Collin into central defense to replace the suspended Julio Cesar. And Revolution midfielder Ousmane Dabo may also log his first MLS minutes after missing New England's first six games with a quadriceps strain.
For the Revolution back line of Kevin Alston, Franco Coria, A.J. Soares and Darrius Barnes (or Didier Domi, if he is healthy), the task of containing Kansas City's athletic attacking trio of Teal Bunbury, Kei Kamara and C.J. Sapong could be a daunting one, although catching Sporting while Omar Bravo recovers from hernia surgery is a break for New England.
CHICAGO FIRE vs. HOUSTON DYNAMO (Saturday, 8:30 p.m., Direct Kick)
Sitting at the bottom of the Eastern Conference with a 1-3-1 mark, the Fire is in dire need of a win, especially after dropping a 2-1 result at home to shorthanded Los Angeles last week. The visiting Dynamo, however, presents a tough matchup for Chicago, although injuries that will hold defender Jermaine Taylor, midfielders Lovel Palmer and Danny Cruz, and forward Brian Ching out of the contest should make matters a bit simpler.
Goalkeeper Jon Conway will get his second consecutive start for Chicago in favor of Sean Johnson, who struggled to command his penalty area during a 4-2 loss at Portland. The defense in front of Conway will probably be missing centerback Cory Gibbs, who is doubtful with a hamstring strain.
LOS ANGELES GALAXY vs. PORTLAND TIMBERS (Saturday, 11 p.m., FSC)
Despite playing without David Beckham and Landon Donovan, and waiting until the 77th minute to insert Juan Pablo Angel, the Galaxy still picked up a 2-1 win at Chicago last week. With Beckham and Angel likely returning to the starting 11, and Donovan listed as questionable, the Galaxy should be closer to full strength against Portland.
One player Los Angeles will be without is centerback Leonardo, who is out for the season with a knee injury. Sean Franklin and A.J. DeLaGarza are the likely candidates to slide next to Omar Gonzalez in central defense, but whatever pairing coach Bruce Arena chooses, it will have a tough task ahead dealing with Portland's strike duo of Kenny Cooper and Jorge Perlaza.

Mourinho's favorite DAY!!
Remenber last year 20th of april?? Well that's when Mourinho kicked out FC Barcelona out of the champions league!!
Today Mourinho's players has done it again!
Today Mourinho's players has done it again!
Ronaldo guided Angel Di Maria's 103rd-minute cross back across goal and past the outstretched hand of goalkeeper Jose Manuel Pinto into the top corner as Madrid won silverware for the first time since a 2008 Spanish league title.
Madrid dominated the first half and then relied on goalkeeper Iker Casillas' second-half stops as Barcelona took control after the restart in an electric atmosphere at the Mestalla Stadium.
Madrid's 18th domestic cup also ends a six-game winless run against Barcelona, which lost for only the 10th time in its 35th final appearance.
Madrid's elated players practically roared after the final whistle sounded as Barcelona failed for the first time under coach Pep Guardiola with a trophy on the line.
Madrid fullback Marcelo played Di Maria into the left side of the area and the Argentina forward beat Daniel Alves to the well-laid ball to find Ronaldo at the far post for the winner at the site of both clubs' last cup win — Madrid over Zaragoza and Barcelona over Athletic Bilbao in 2009.
Di Maria was sent off late on as Madrid finished with 10 men against Barca for the second time in five days, but the red card had no influence on the outcome.
Madrid took the second of four meetings in 18 days — they play a two-legged Champions League semifinal still — between the fierce rivals in a classic game of two halves.
The charged atmosphere for the ninth cup final at Mestalla might have played a hand in a frantic and physical first half dominated by Madrid, which disrupted Barcelona's cool with constant pressure. The Catalans didn't manage a single shot on goal until the second half as it abandoned its slick passing game for long balls at times.
With Javier Mascherano filling in for Carles Puyol at centerback, Barcelona's defense looked unsure as Madrid forced turnovers with constant upfield pressure.
And Madrid created chances on the break as expected with Mesut Oezil picking up where he left off in Saturday's 1-1 draw by creating Madrid's best opportunities. But the Germany playmaker missed his own in the 11th after hesitating.
Pinto remained alert as he stopped Ronaldo's hard shot in the 36th after Oezil played the Portugal forward down the right.
The bruising matchup led to a number of run-ins between players who normally represent Spain together, with David Villa and Alvaro Arbeloa exchanging shoves while even a frustrated Messi had trouble hiding his emotions as the acrimonious rivalry bubbled up with silverware on the line. Barcelona had won three of the five previous cup finals between the two before this one, including the last one in 1990.
Madrid nearly capped a strong first half in the 44th as Pepe got over Daniel Alves to meet Oezil's cross but his header found the near post.
Barcelona was more composed after the restart as it worked the ball around to set up Villa's dangerous shot in the 51st.
Messi and Alves neatly combined for a good effort minutes later as the Spanish champions rediscovered the possession game that helps them thrive, with Villa again threatening.
Mourinho, meanwhile, screamed at Ronaldo for skirting his defensive duties while Messi was booked for blocking a free kick in the 64th as the teams' two stars — who have now combined for 90 goals this season — found it hard to show off their offensive talents.
The Barcelona half of the stadium exploded in the 69th as Messi found a streaking Pedro to slide the ball under Madrid 'keeper Iker Casillas, but the goal was chalked off for offside.
Only Casillas denied Barcelona a second-half winner as he dived to keep out Messi's low screamer and then swatted away Pedro's top corner bound curler away in the 75th. Casillas again stood tall in the 81st as the Spain goalie tipped Andres Iniesta's shot wide of the post.
With Barcelona dominating, Madrid nearly scored an injury-time winner but Pinto — usually a backup except for cup games — tipped Di Maria's rising shot over the bar.
Madrid nearly hit on the break in the 98th as Ronaldo sprinted down the right and beat Pinto with a crossgoal shot that flashed by the far post.
Ronaldo was quick in the 118th as he jumped to Emmanuel Adebayor's tipped shot but his shot was deflected high as Madrid withstood Di Maria's sending off in the 120th and Barcelona pressure for the win in front of over 52,000 fans.

Quatre Clasicos, 30 millions d'euros.
C'est l'envers du décor. Derrière l'intérêt sportif des quatre Clasicos à venir dans les trois prochaines semaines, au-delà de l'engouement médiatique et populaire que le duel Real-Barça génère au niveau mondial, il reste l'implacable réalité de l'enjeu économique que représente cette série pour les deux clubs les plus "riches" de la planète. On ne reviendra pas sur la notion de richesse toute relative concernant le Real Madrid et le FC Barcelone, qui présentent le point commun de crouler sous des dettes abyssales. Mais au classement des clubs qui affichent les revenus les plus importants, le Real (438,6 millions d'euros) et le Barça (398 millions d'euros) ont trusté respectivement les deux premières places la saison dernière, selon un rapport du cabinet Deloitte.
Les quatre Clasicos à venir pourraient modifier cette donne d'après un article de lexpansion.com. A elle seule, la double confrontation en Ligue des Champions représente un pactole d'un minimum de 25 millions d'euros, et pouvant atteindre 30 millions d'euros si le vainqueur remporte l'épreuve, et se qualifie ainsi pour la Supercoupe d'Europe et le Mondial des clubs. La Coupe du Roi a un intérêt financier quasiment nul. Le lauréat empochera un million d'euros qu'il devra vraisemblablement reverser à ses joueurs sous forme de primes. Le classement final de la Liga n'aura pas une importance majeure au niveau économique non plus, dans la mesure où les deux clubs sont quasiment déjà assurés de disputer la Ligue des Champions la saison prochaine, et qu'ils se partagent environ la moitié des droits télévisuels du championnat espagnol.
Dans l'hypothèse où Barcelone remportait non seulement les quatre Clasicos mais aussi la Ligue des Champions, il ne ferait que combler son retard (environ 40 millions d'euros) sur le Real pour les revenus enregistrés sur une saison. Mais une série de victoires du Barça sur son rival madrilène ne serait pas sans conséquence à moyen terme. L'image du club catalan à l'étranger en serait encore davantage bonifiée. D'après lexpansion.com, cela pourrait avoir un impact sur les revenus commerciaux (vente de produits dérivés, de maillots...) du FC Barcelone, actuellement inférieurs à ceux du Real (120 millions d'euros, contre 150 millions d'euros) et permettre au club blaugrana de devenir le plus "riche" du monde au détriment du Real. Les enjeux seront multiples et capitaux pour les deux clubs dans les trois semaines à venir. (VB)

Barcelona star Lionel Messi: I do everything through instinct like a child
Argentine ace says his game has not differed since when he was a youngster, and that he plays to have fun and without having to think too deeply about what moves to make
By Salvatore Landolina

Barcelona ace Lionel Messi has revealed his secret to success stems from his ability to play like he did when he was a child.
The 23-year-old Argentina international, who has hit an incredible 29 goals in 28 league games this term, says the way he plays football has remained unchanged over the years.
"I hope never to get injured and I do everything through instinct, I play like a child," he told Sette magazine.
"I think about myself on a small pitch or in the road, I see myself with the football in the same way as I am now.
"I have not changed at all. You must remember football is a game to have fun and you play for that. I don't plan or anticipate my play."
Messi explained his goal celebrations when he is often seen pointing towards the sky.
"It's for my grandmother as I would have loved for her to see where I am now," he said. "I think she can see me from up above."
Barca meet Shakhtar Donetsk in their Champions League quarter-final, second-leg match at the Donbass Arena later tonight.
The Blaugrana are 5-1 up on aggregate and could face Real Madrid in the semi-finals if both teams go through.

FC Barcelona and Manchester United are heading to the semis.
Barcelona and Manchester United moved a step closer to a rematch of the 2009 Champions League final Tuesday as both clubs earned victories to extend their first-leg advantage and reach the semis.
Lionel Messi scored his club-record 48th goal of the season in the 43rd minute to give Barcelona a 1-0 win over Shakhtar Donetsk and secure a comfortable 6-1 aggregate victory that had never looked in doubt.
There was more drama at Old Trafford, where Park Ji-sung secured a 2-1 win for United over 10-man Chelsea, scoring the winner less than a minute after second-half substitute Didier Drogba had equalized for the London club in the 77th. Javier Hernandez scored the opener in the 43rd as United advanced 3-1 on aggregate.
"I think we played very, very well against a very, very good team," United manager Sir Alex Ferguson said. "Chelsea played a big part in that game today. I thought we were the better team on the night. In a team game we had some fantastic performances, Park, Chicharito (Hernandez), all over, no one let us down."
Barcelona is now looking at a likely semifinal against archrival Real Madrid, which holds a 4-0 edge over Tottenham going into the second leg of their quarter-final on Wednesday. United will face the winner of Schalke and defending champion Inter Milan, with the German club having won the first leg 5-2 in Italy.
Barcelona, which beat United 2-0 in the final two years ago, only needed to avoid an unlikely collapse in Ukraine following its 5-1 rout in the first leg. But coach Pep Guardiola still opted against giving stars like Messi, Xavi and David Villa a rest despite upcoming games against Madrid in both the league and Copa del Rey final
