No they didn't. First off, I hate "park the bus" as a phrase. Second of all, ManU had about 4 or 5 very good chances to score. That's not parking the bus in any world. They played defensive counter-attacking football.

Whatever you like I do not care. REAL had many more chances that Manure !

Just pay attention next time or read the stats now.

REAL 22 shots MAnure 11

REAL shots on goal 11 Manure 6

REAL 3 saves Manure 9

Madrid have 2 El Clasicos(1 in CDR and 1 in league) to deal with before facing United in the second leg. Not ideal.

Will Mourinho put all his eggs in one basket ? Champions League over El Clasicos? Good luck to him definitely.

I don't even remeber seeing kagawa... I am honestly trying to remember him with the ball and i can't...

I watched the game. Real were better in the first half and then had a lot of useless possession and De Gea made one fantastic save, but most of their chances were long shots. ManU certainly did not "park the bus".

Mourinho:"Lot of teams have been able to score this year at Old Trafford, and none of them have the attacking potential of Real Madrid"

Jose just oozes confidence and class!

De Gea made 3 or 4 saves in the 2nd alone. You were not watching the game, be honest.

Nah his only real safe was that on coentrao in the 1st half other than that it was all easy safe. His "spectacular" safe with his leg was easy safe, coentrao did not hit the ball cleanly

He summed up the game perfectly.

50-50 nothing change.

I miss jose in press conferences so much. 100 times better than the BS drone we have as our manager in press conferences.

Mourinho is by far the best at giving press conferences. Scolari's portuguese ones are hilarious, but Jose's are still better!

Wow, you're annoying and you've changed the actual argument. In your condescending fashion, let me explain some things to you:

1) Not all shots are equal. Real had a lot of long range efforts. ManU didn't.

2) The team with more shots, more possession, more chances doesn't always deserve to win.Are the only games that deserve to be draws ones where the possession is 50-50 and the shots are even? Real were better than ManU but not by a lot.

3) Goaltenders are part of the team so a keeper that makes a great save or three isn't lucky, it's him doing his job. If a defender blocks a shot, that's part of the game.

4) Actual shots on goal were 8 to 6.

5) You originally claimed that ManU parked the bus which is what we were disagreeing about. They didn't. When we did it against Barcelona and Bayern, we put 10 men behind the ball. We even started the game against Bayern with a defender on the wing. ManU started with 3 strikers in their formation. They managed a number of excellent scoring opportunities Not every team that plays at all defensively parks the bus.

6) Telling people who disagree with you that they didn't watch the game just makes you look like an arrogant idiot.

I think bushman need to watch our game against bayern/barca one more time to see park the bus tactic.

note: btw how do I make busman name become a pointer to his name ?

[zolayes 14,489]

couldnt be bothered to watch the game ...so I will just say Manure did park the bus and got lucky

[Hutcho 8,443]

Rvp will probably end up rueing that chance he had when he was 1 on 1 6 yards out and scuffed it... Real were the better team but man u did have a number of good chances as well and in the end were unlucky not to be leading 2-1. Still fancy Madrid though but it will be another interesting game. I fancy another draw and it wouldn't be too weird to see this going to pens after another 1-1.
