Champions League 2013/14

[Starvinho]

Yeah I know United were good odds, the bookies didn't fancy 'em. Seen as high as 10/3 for a United win earlier this morning.

Betfair was apparently offering 7/1 for a United win for new customers. Madness. I'm hope they've took a pounding.

Cavani looks to have won me money!

Me too!

And me! I had Baddars bet plus City, returned £12 off a pound. Shame I've been on a losing run, would've been better with a sensible stake on...

United's win is the biggest win for non-German opposition in Germany in the Champions League since 1994, when Porto beat Werder Bremen 5-0.

[Lineker]

It's 15 years since the Champions League was formally increased to 32 teams by Uefa, which also confirmed the Uefa Cup and the European Cup Winners' Cup would be merged into one tournament from the start of the 1999-2000 season.

1998, 15 years ago. Bloody hell.

#mufc XI: De Gea; Rafael, Ferdinand, Evans, Büttner; Young, Giggs, Jones, Januzaj; Kagawa, Rooney

Subs: Lindegaard, Anderson, Cleverley, Nani, Valencia, Hernandez, van Persie

Januzaj makes his CL debut.

[Baddar]

Is RVP on the bench or does he miss out altogether?

And isn't Fellaini back from his ban now? Would've liked him playing instead of Young, and Kagawa out wide. I know he prefers the centre, but I reaaally have no patience with Ashley Young any more.

[Whisper]

Seeing Ashley Young start Champions League matches gives me hope that I might still yet make it as a professional footballer.

But yay for Januzaj, Rooney and Kagawa in the same line up.

[Starvinho]

Interesting that there isn't any defenders on the bench.

[Baddar]

Maybe he's hoping that if anyone gets injured, it won't be Jones - he'll fill in anywhere.

Not sure which match to have on in the background...

Think I'm leaning towards Galatasaray v Juventus.

[Asuka's Gonna Kill You]

City sound like they're getting battered. 2-0 inside 15 minutes.

[Baddar]

United fortunate to be level after that last chance. All too easy in midfield for Shakhtar.

[Baddar]

We need a goal, because a clean sheet doesn't seem likely right now.

Better placement from Januzaj would've seen us take the lead.

[Kaney]

Man U are massively lucky there, Ferdinand making a balls up of it.

Silva pulls one back for City.

[Starvinho]

What a chance for Young!

[Starvinho]

Oh Ashley.

0-0 HT. We're gonna need a goal in the second half.

[Baddar]

There have been positives but United need to tighten up in midfield and defence. A bit of energy going forward outside of Januzaj would be nice.

And Young wastes another. :/

[Kaney]

What's happened to the Juventus game?

[Liam]

Snow caused them to stop.
