MU đá quá đỉnh luôn. Sau đây là bản report and rating cho từng cầu thủ theo diễn biến trên sân.
Manchester United cruised to a comfortable 4-0 win over AC Milan at Old Trafford to qualify for the last eight of the Champions League. Here's how their players (as well as Milan's) rated.
Manchester United
Edwin Van der Sar: 7
Made a smart save in the first-half from a Pirlo pile-driver and was hardly troubled for the most part of the game.
Gary Neville (off 66th min): 7
Rolled back the years after the Manchester United captain overlapped on the right and crossed to Rooney for United first goal. Defensively, he held his own against Ronaldinho on the right.
Rio Ferdinand: 6
Playing his second consecutive match for United, Ferdinand looked comfortable if not untroubled by Milan's blunt attacks.
Nemanja Vidic: 7
His physical presence and aerial dominance meant Milan's cross into the box were dealt with ease.
Patrice Evra: 6
Evra had one of his quieter games but it was more because of Milan's lack of wing-play.
Darren Fletcher: 7
Doing the donkey work in midfield but his contribution was just as immense as he chased down every ball and pressed Milan's midfielders into mistakes. Scored his first Champions League goal.
Paul Scholes (off 73rd min):7
Another key performer on the night for United - Scholes kept the midfield ticking with his distribution. Escaped a yellow card though for his wild lunge on former Arsenal man Flamini.
Park Ji-Sung: 7.5
Instructed by Ferguson to become Pirlo's shadow and Park did a sterling job to keep the playmaker quiet.
Antonio Valencia: 7.5
His stock continues to raise with every game. Valencia did not look out of place against the Milan players and attacked just as well as he defended. Becoming a firm fan favourite.
Nani: 7
Milan struggled all night to cope with his pace as Nani proved that when he is in the mood, no one can touch him. It was his electric pace that helped set up Rooney's second goal.
Wayne Rooney (off 66th min): 8
He is currently the most in-form player in Europe right now. Rooney is completely unplayable and he could have had five or six goals on the night.
Subs:
Dimitar Berbatov (on 66th min): 6
Was a handful when he came on and forced Milan's defenders to think twice from joining in the attack.
Rafael (on 66th min): 6
Wonderful first-time cross to find Fletcher for United's fourth goal.
Darron Gibson (on 73rd min): 6
Came on for Scholes and continued to help United maintain a vice-like grip in midfield.
Man United-Milan Post-match Reaction
AC Milan
Christian Abbiati: 5
Was let down by a porous defence in front of him.
Ignazio Abate (off 63rd min): 4
Struggled to keep pace with United's attacks down the flanks and was easily outstripped by Nani on numerous chances.
Daniele Bonera: 4 (off 46th min)
Gave Rooney too much space for United's first goal and looked a little lost at OT. Taken off at half-time.
Thiago Silva: 5
Gave away the ball far too often for a center-back and lacked bite in his tackles.
Marek Jankulovski: 4
The wingback was totally ineffectual on the left and did not go on his usual overlapping runs.
Mathieu Flamini: 4
The former Arsenal player did not have the best of games and tried to take out his frustrations on a couple of United players.
Andrea Pirlo: 5
Well-marked by Park Ji-Sung and his influence was severely limited by a well set-up United midfield.
Massimo Ambrosini: 4
Anonymous when in midfield and disastrous in defence. A very poor performance by the Milan captain.
Klaas-Jan Huntelaar: 4
Lacked match sharpness and had a great chance in the first-half but his control let him down.
Marco Borriello (off 68th min): 5
Starved of service up-front and looked very frustrated.
Ronaldinho: 6
Was lively in the opening exchanges and nearly opened the scoring for Milan. Rapidly lost his influence as United gained more
Subs:
Clarence Seedorf (on 46th min): 5
Was sent on to try to control the midfield for Milan but was overwhelmed by United's players eventually.
David Beckham (on 63rd min): 6
Not bad a performance and was one of the few Milan players to keep running till the end. Had a shot well-saved
Filippo Inzaghi (on 68th min): 5
Had a great chance to scored at the end but he mis-kicked at the crucial moment.
