[seestyle 0]

Manchester United host Real Madrid at the Old Trafford on Tuesday night in a season defining match for both the teams.

Its been a great week for Mourinho but that will be of little help in tonights tie. After the first leg, Ferguson is quite relaxed because he feels Madrid dint trouble them at all in their 1-1 tie and with RVP mi sing Terry Mills Jersey on two chances, ManU could have scored 4-5 goals against Madrid.

Wherein Evans, Welbeck, Rooney, Van Persie, Vidic and even Patrice Evra have managed to score from dead ball situations and cannot be underestimated.Cristiano Ronaldo will hold the key for Madrid but United should look to hurt Madrid more then Ronaldo. United hold the undue advantage with an away Bill Laimbeer Jersey goal but there is a lot to play for tonight and as I say: Its a good day to Die Hard !!
