We played really well in the first half and should have been at least 2-0 up. Unfortunately Rooney wasnt able to make the most of his chances. We went one nil up in the middle of the second half, but once we did, Barcelona stepped up their game and gave it everything. We were lucky not to concede!

CMON!!!! Brilliant result. I was not expecting to get a result at Nou Camp, much less keep a clean sheet. But i am delighted. The defence came under heavy pressure throughout but proved resolute. We had some chances ourself, but were unable to make them count. Rafael was the star of the show. He had Messi in his back pocket throughout the match, and Messi could not best him. I will now face a rather string looking Real Madrid in the final

FT: 1-0 Rooney (40)
MOTM: De Gea (8.3)
Top performers: -
Great win over our rivals, though how we kept a clean sheet, i do not know. We had to withstand heavy pressure for pretty much the whole match. They hit the woodwork 3 times, and were really unlucky not to score. But still, im not complaining. A win is a win, regardless of how it comes!

FT: 2-2 Rooney (45), Welbeck (56), Torres (79), Mata (90+3)
MOTM: Torres (8.3)
Top performers: -
Frustrating result. We dominated proceedings, and should not have drawn. But then Torres scored, a goal of pure inspiration, and with that Chelsea gained momentum and grabbed a scrappy second goal to earn themselves a point, and rob us of 2 points!!

We were cruising at 3-0 up, but then Reading scored a quick double fire salvo to get themselves back into the game. Luckily we held out till the final whistle. Im happy we have won the FA Cup too!

MOTM: Cavani (8.3)
Top performers: -
This was a tough place to come to get 3 points. Blackburn didnt let us settle, and tackled hard. Our players found it hard to pass as crisply as they normally do, and so the chances werent as numerous as they normally are. Rooney also picked up a knock during the game, but dont know how bad it is yet!

Top performers: -
I wasnt really fussed what the outcome of this match was, as long as we didnt lose, and we didnt sustain any injuries, i didnt care what happened. We managed to scrape 3 points, even though it was a poor match overall.
