Manchester United
Van der Sar: 6 - Was quite shaky with his kicking again. Made one good save from Lionel Messi and kept the clean sheet his side needed.
Hargreaves: 8 - Gave the tireless Iniesta absolutely no joy, as his defensive discipline was essentially faultless.
Ferdinand: 9 - Made many strong and vital challenges, particularly in the first half and led a fantastic defensive line with authority.
Brown: 8.5 - Put in one of his performances of the season when it was most needed. Made good challenges - and crucially, no glaring errors - as he did well to silence the threat of Eto'o as well as Messi.
Evra: 8.5 - Another stellar showing from the full-back, who was often one of the most advanced players on the pitch in the first half, and still managed to be a key defensive player, again forcing Messi into the middle of the park as he did his utmost to match the phenomenon.
Park: 6.5 - Energetic as ever, but also of little use when in possession of the ball. He filled a space and did a job for his team, so full credit for his work ethic. (I read the opposition below, but I stand by my rating. He was picked as a winger, one must remember).
Carrick: 7.5 - Put in a solid performance in central midfield, passing fairly well and getting back well to help out the defence.
Scholes: 7.5 - A little slow to start, and almost gave away an early penalty, but scored a brilliant goal that settled the tie and played a tidy game in midfield thereafter.
Nani: 6.5 - Cannot be faulted for his work-rate, again. Wasn't quite as dynamic as he's been known to be but worked for the team and put himself about. Had a headed chance that could have killed the game.
Ronaldo: 7 - Did not put in the sparkling, Ballon d'Or-winning performance everyone was looking for, but up front he was never going to be in the game as much as he usually is. His movement on and off the ball made him an absolute handful for Barcelona, all he was missing was a key goal or assist to make the headlines. Played for his team nonetheless, and had a huge part to play in the only goal of the tie.
Tevez: 8 -Like Ronaldo, was not the most involved at the sharp end of the pitch, but worked extremely hard and closed Barca down in and around the centre-circle where they were looking to start off all their wonderful passing moves. He did most of the unsettling for United, and put in a far better performance than he did last week.
