UCL Group D: Manchester Utd x Benfica [P+R]
- Thread starter Punkt
- Start date
becase Fergie is getting so old he don't remember what player's he got to choose from!$teauA said:United will win 2-1 but Benfica will lead 1-0 at HT.
PS: why doesn't Ferguson start both Giggs and Park (he can play on the right as well can't he?)

Giggs---Ronaldo---Smith---Park
I want all portuguese teams to do well in europe and this game won't be an exception. Having said that, I don't believe Benfica will win this one. ManU are in a bad streak right now and that, against what is common belief, will play against the portuguese team.
There's a lot of pressure on ManU's shoulders to get a decent result and get back on track and I expect a lot of effort and focus from the red devils.
Benfica, however, are improving since the past couple of weeks and have a high level of self-confidence.
To be honest, it will all depend on how Benfica star players perform on the big european stage: if Simão acts like his usual self in important games he won't be seen with the ball tomorrow, and the same for Geovani, Nuno and Co. If they can cope with the pressure and stay focused they have a real chance of going home with points in the bag.
Besides, no matter what happens the team in red will lose.

Like always i´ll root for the portuguese teams in Europe. I don´t really know what to predict. Benfica is currently playing extremely well but that doesn´t really matter in european football, the standarts are way higher. On the other hand, this isn´t the Manchester United i used to watch in the past. They are currently experiencing a bad phase. Even so, we are talking about a Champions league match, so the circunstancies are different and anything can happen. Manchester United players are used to this kind of games, Benfica players in the recent past, have a hard time coping with the pressure of these games. I hope Benfica can get a draw at least.
