4/1/2008 UEFA Champions League - AS Roma vs Manchester United

Will Ronaldo and Manchester United go on to achieve greatness in this live online broadcast commentary UEFA Champions League quarterfinal match between AS Roma and Manchester United by scoring many goals and winning the competition, or will they face a Roman burial against a team which they have had much success against in the past year? With so many people comparing him to the legendary George Best and Denis Law due to his achievements this season, it is not difficult to see why the possibility of Manchester United winning the Double of the English Premier League and UEFA Champions League is very high. Even Alex Ferguson is purring with excitement over managing one of the brightest, if not the brightest, football talents he has ever had the privilege of doing so in his long and esteemed career at the pinnacle of the world's most popular sport. It is also not unwise to say that without Ronaldo this season, Manchester United might not be where they are now, despite the team having also done well with a great team ethic. But can they overcome Roma for the second time over two legs in as many seasons?

Things look grim for the Italian side in this live online broadcast commentary and live online TV UEFA Champions League quarterfinal match between AS Roma and Manchester United, as their best player and gifted midfielder Francesco Totti injured himself on Saturday against Cagliari and will not play a part in this game. While there might be a last minute assessment of the Italian's fitness prior to the game, it is unlikely that Totti will feature and that spells disaster for Luciano Spalletti's side and gameplan. Of course, Roma has won on many occasions without their captain, but it would have provided additional benefits and certainly an added dimension to their attacking play had he been available. Unfortunately, they will have to come up with a new strategy to not only contain Manchester United but also to break down a stubborn defence marshalled by the likes of Vidic and Ferdinand, without a playmaker as critical as Totti. The Roma lineup might actually show up with a gaping hole in the middle for this live online broadcast commentary and live online TV UEFA Champions League quarterfinal match between AS Roma and Manchester United without Totti's name but his supporting cast are still quite capable of springing a surprise and possible upset of the English champions. An exciting match is in store for all of us football fans.
