Man Utd beats AC Milan to reach Champions League 1/4 finals

Manchester United Outsmarts AC Milan

Following Arsenal's victory over Porto, the other English team Manchester United also booked their place in the Champions League Quarter Final by registering a comfortable win against AC Milan. The Italian giant's performance looked inept against Manchester United's continuous onslaught. In the end, the 4-0 victory of the English team felt like a walk in the park.

The phenomenal performance of Wayne Rooney introduced elements of freshness in this otherwise dull match. The English striker seems to be getting better by the day. He toyed with the opposition with his ball play. He contributed two goals for his side. David Beckham's re-introduction to Old Trafford was a much anticipated event even before the match actually started. Coach Leonardo did give him a chance to enter the field but only after his club's fate in the game was somewhat sealed. Manchester United was leading by 3-0 when Beckham was introduced as a substitute drawing huge roar of applause from the United fans. The 34-year old striker did show some nice touches.

Milan's lack of organised ball play was further accentuated by its strikers' inability to find the net. At least on two occasions Milan failed to come off better when the team's scorers failed to net the ball even after receiving nice passes. It seems for the Italian club much soul searching would be needed after this defeat.
