Hey guys, I watched the match, and believe me, the scoreline really flatters Man Utd.
In the first half the English Champs were definitely the better team and deserved to be leading but we were unlucky not to score when Di Vaio struck the crossbar. Our best players in the first 45 minutes were Maresca who showed alot of class and vision, and Davids who worked hard throughout and played some brilliant long balls to Miccoli and co.
We actually started best in the second period but our midfield lacked width as Davids was forced to play on the left wing and Camoranesi was poor. Birindelli, Ferrara, Montero and Pessotto gave Van Nistelrooy, Solskjaer, Keane, Veron and Neville far too much space and we were punished. The goals from Giggs, Scholes, RVN and Solskjaer were very well taken and Buffon and Chimenti are not to be blamed.
When Zambrotta, Nedved, Del Piero and co came on we started to play alot better and Neddy, Micco, DP and Trez were combining quite well but we were already down 3-0 and the task of drawing things level was too big for our boys on this occasion. DP and particularly Trezeguet had some chances which we should have done better with, but in all fairness, the credit should go to Tim Howard who was brilliant.
If anybody has any questions about the match feel free to ask me
