Manchester United vs FC Porto Highlights

Manchester United face a tense battle to defend their Champions league title failing to hold on to the late advantage provided by Carlos Tevez in a 2-2 draw against Porto.

Although United were outplayed in the first half, Wayne Rooney’s fantastic 14th goal of the season had ensured the Red Devils were level heading into the final stages.

When Tevez scored from Rooney’s back-flick five minutes from time, Sir Alex Ferguson’s men must have thought they had come through a very difficult evening and they fancied their chances of cruising into the last four.

But not surprisingly, they lost concentration in defense and with just a minute left, Mariano found himself totally unmarked as he finished off a cross from the excellent Lisandro.

The result saw United extend their unbeaten run in the competition to 22 games but Porto’s impressive home record will now be of real concern to Alex Ferguson, whose team will have to win and break porto’s home record, where no British team has won till now to keep alive their hopes of retaining the trophy.

I think manchester united are the best and dont care what anyone says i no they are. Teams like livepool and chelsea have a good stroke for a small amount of time and then they start to play crap and loose games. They will never be as good as manchester united, even bradford City could beat liverpool no problem. I think football has become to commercial now and people only love the players and not the game it self. As supporters we need to become more vicious and aggressive towards other teams as i think this helps out supporting team, so come on man u show us what ur made of lads and make ur daddy proud. As for all the other premiership teams well!! They can suck on my juicy chocolate balls. Hahaha
