good display of mental strength by bayern following the early goal. arjen robben will be back by the return leg so i expect an even more entertaining game. hope rooney would have been back by then but doubtful.

Who is the best forward in the world? i guess we now have an answer?


WHAT ARE THE CASTROL RANKINGS?

Rooney, Ronaldo, Kaka, Messi... Just who is the current best player in the world?
Castrol Rankings give you the definitive answer based on the actual performances of every football player across Europe's top five leagues over a rolling 12-month period.
Using the latest technology Castrol's team of analysts capture data on every Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga, Ligue 1 and Champions League match.
Every touch of the ball is tracked and players are awarded a Castrol Index score based on whether they have had a positive or negative impact on their team's ability to score or concede a goal.

@Ric, basically what you're trying to point out is that Rooney is not as good as he's made out to be?

Rankings are rankings, even FIFA has rankings for the world cup but we'll see to what effect they have on the performance of teams. In my books, Rooney remains one of the most dangerous strikers in the world, not THE but one of THE...and if we go by top ten of Castrol then I'm not too far.

Anyway, like McReggae says, game iko half time, but what a poor first half from Man Utd! We'd better have recovered by Sato otherwise...

Ngai! League will almost be over by then! Na Mungu atuweke mahali pema peponi, unless Berbatov can show what he's really made of a la Bolton. But CL will be a hard proposition without the marauding Rooney...

It's game half time........
