The two teams Manchester united and Celtic met in the champions league yesterday (21/11/2006)and suprisingly Celtic claimed the victory 1-0.
This means that Celtic has qualified for the next round of the champions league whilst Manchester United need a point from their final game against Benfica in order to qualify.
Manchester United's side was very strong as well with players such as Rooney, Scholes, Ronaldo, and Giggs starting the game. From the starting line-ups of both teams you would have to say Manchester United had the edge.
It was an enjoyable game to watch, with the intense atmosphere and flow of play. I highly recommend watching highlights of the game if possible.
Man united were beaten by a Shunsuke Nakamura special; a 30 yard curling free kick, which is becoming quite a familar goal as he has scored freekicks from the same position a number of times.Saha missed a penalty moments before the end of the game, denied by a good save from the Celtic goalkeeper Boruc. Earlier in the game Saha had also missed a one on one with Boruc which he should of scored. Saha was left with plenty of time and space yet stood motionless in front of goal for some time, which allowed Boruc to come out and stop Saha's eventual chipped effort.
In reflection Manchester United definately didn't deserve to lose the game, but they missed crucial chances and if you do that you can throw away games. You can view information on the game from visiting the BBC website
