29/4/2008 UEFA Champions League Live - Manchester United vs Barcelona

All the talk before this live commentary UEFA Champions League match between Manchester United and Barcelona has been on the fear that Alex Ferguson and his players are starting to show in the face of mounting pressure to win the games that they are expected to have easy victories from. They have been arguably, the best team in the world very much this season, inspired by the form of Ronaldo. However, they have struggled of late to win games and have often had to fight back to draw games. That alone should be reason enough for everyone to realise that they are not fearful of anything, in fact on the other hand they are showing the kind of resilience and determination normally associated with champions. But it also shows that they are not gelling as well as they should at this point of the season and will need to play much better to stand tall again. In fact, it would probably be Ferguson's normal tactics to use all the bad pre-match press that they are getting from this live commentary and online TV EPL game between Manchester United and Barcelona to create a siege mentality in his players and get them to win once again.

In an opponent like the Spanish team, they do have a difficult team to play against in this live commentary and live streaming radio telecast UEFA Champions League match between Manchester United and Barcelona, and certainly a team that is starting to smell blood given the slightly more advantageous position that they are in. Barca will not need to win this game to go through, the least they could do would be a scoring draw. However, that is not as easy and clear as the possibilities suggest, despite the amount of undisputed talent in the Spanish side. They do not have form on their side, and neither do they have Ronaldinho to provide some tricks and invention if required, even though Messi would be around to provide that in droves, but he has less experience in these occasions compared to the Brazilian at this stage in his career. The Old Trafford crowd might also be able to intimidate the visitors, but highly unlikely given that many of them are not real football fans anyway, although the true United supporters should be able to make enough of a din to provide some atmosphere for a big game. The simple fact is that the visitors will have to play much better in this live commentary and live streaming TV broadcast soccer match between Manchester United and Barcelona than they have done for so much of this season to stand a chance, and one only has recent performances to go with and that seems unlikely to happen tonight.
