I've heard two ex-international refs analyze the red card and both agree with the ref. According to the rules, endangering an opponent player is a red card regardless of the intention. Moreover, Nani did have a little look before jumping and knew Arbeloa was coming. Third, and for me this puts the red card beyond doubt, Nani actually extends his leg after he makes contact with Arbeloa intending to hurt him.

Found this on the Czech websites -

- Chelsea reduced to 10 men....scored twice to make the finals.
United reduced to 10 men.....mocking referee and crying.

- yesterday is a bigger loss for the Champions League than for Man United, as the competition is going to miss Man United more than Man United the competition.. :lol:

Anyway, the Dortmund v Bayern final is still on the cards.

Mourinho was right to say that the better team lost. On paper, Madrid may have the better players and team but Man United executed their game plan to perfection last night. They stayed tight and solid defensively as a team without the ball and were creating great chances when they had it. With a little bit of luck, they would have been leading 1-0 or 2-0 before Ramos scored that OG. Madrid were quite clueless then as they didn't have the means to break down United's defence. But that red card obviously changed the game and ruined it completely.

Personally, I don't think the red card was a red card. Yes Nani's boot was rather high but he was watching the ball the whole time then and his intention was always to control the dropping ball. The contact happened only because Arbeloa came flying in and collided with Nani's boot, which was just an unfortunate collision. It's not like Nani knew Arbeloa was standing there and he raised his boot. Furthermore, there was even hardly a protest from the players when that incident happened. If anything, this was even worse and Drogba got a yellow card for it!
