UEFA Champions League (Barcelona 2 - Man U 0)

Barcelona's first moment of note and they take the lead. Andreas Iniesta surges forwards and feeds Samuel Eto'o. The strikes cuts in from the right, clips the ball through the legs of NeMANJA Vidic and fires under the body of Edwin Van Der Sar. It's his fourth UEFA Champions League goals this season.




Lionel Messi had not found the net in ten games against English opponents in the competition and that was a statistic that was never going to last. The little magician peels to the back post and Xavi Hernandez picks out his only target with a curling cross, the Argentinian heading back across goal and over Edwin Van Der Sar... again..
