Let's hope this return semi doesn't disappoint like the first. It's hard to believe two such attacking teams won't put on a better show. I still fancy Barca, just. ManU have looked a touch nervy recently and have a poor record defending a 0-0 in the Champions League. Vidic is crucial for the home side, not just due to his defending, but it means Hargreaves can play as a defensive midfielder. But the onus is on United to attack, which could open things up for Messi and co. One goal for Barca and United are in trouble. Deco's return is a massive boon; not only does he keep the ball moving but he enables Barca to play 10 yards further upfield. Yaya Toure looks top draw. Didn't he have a trial at Arsenal?
Sir Alex Ferguson predicts an open match in Tuesday's second leg as Barcelona pledge to stick by attacking instincts. Martin Samuel's opinion:

The Tactic Twins are looking to outdo each other again. David takes the easy road by simply assessing the key battles. Don, probably embarrassed by his shody work over the weekend, has put a bit of effort in. Here's his opinion. Alan Hanson tries to get in on the act, but who wants to read the thinking of a miserable Jock?
