last SG · 2008-02-21T11:47:52+00:00

A draw i guess... which is not a bad thing really... The last time United played in France was against Lilly or something like that lah... and only got a 1 -...

I'm happy with the result, great to take an away goal back to Old Trafford. Now if only we could sign Benzema, what a goal he scored!

I watched it! SAF tried to duplicate what happen against Arsenal by puting Rooney upfront alone? I think with Tevez he is much better!!

And Tevez.... supersub!! haha phew thank god he scored an away goal!!!

I think in the 1st half, MU was really pressed back. Lyon was organised and defeated well.

I was actually fearful of another "city" repeat.. Fortunaely, we did not allow Lyon to score..

With 4-5-1, MU looked really unbalanced.

Strangely, in the 2nd half, Lyon took a more open approach, and MU became alive in the 2nd half.

And the game seems to be more suited for MU. Even when Lyon scored, I got this confidence if kept @ 1-0, MU can win.

Anyway, with the introduction of Nani and Tevez, things changed.

The attack became fluid and things moved faster. It is quite apparent that the new additions, Nani, Tevez and Anderson got a good understanding of how MUFC plays.

Two queries, Just wondering, if Rooney did not touch Tevez's header, would it have counted?? and for those who watch, did Lyon tire after 70mins?

Anyway, Tevez got his rewards for his hardwork..

Benzema is good given his physique, He was giving so much problems to Rio and Vidic. Hardly see Vidic lose out in a physical battle. But is he like Mancho mould?

.I think the Ben Afra has huge potentials.. If MUFC can get both.. super wow, wow..

Uefa waits for reports on 'laser'

Uefa is awaiting reports from officials before deciding whether to take action after Cristiano Ronaldo was targeted by a laser beam on Wednesday.

The incident in the warm-up before the Champions League tie at Lyon was reported by Manchester United but the winger had no ill effects in the game.

Uefa now wants to see reports from the referee and its own delegate.

"We need to have more information about it, then a decision will be taken," a Uefa spokesman told BBC Sport.

"If it proves to be correct then, in this case, it would be viewed as misbehaviour of the supporters, which would then be investigated.

"We have a whole range of different disciplinary measures, beginning with a warning, then fines and so on."

Television pictures suggested Ronaldo was also targeted when running with the ball during the first leg of the last-16 clash at Stade Gerland, which ended in a 1-1 draw.

United boss Sir Alex Ferguson confirmed that the club had informed Uefa of the initial incident.

"We reported the matter to Uefa before the game," said Ferguson. "We noticed it in the warm-up and Uefa are aware of it."

Uefa expect to receive the reports from referee Luis Medina Cantalejo and Uefa delegate Jan Damgaard by Saturday and will then decide if they need to investigate further.
