The epic scale of Sir Alex Ferguson’s managerial success is often spelt out in bare numbers.
In 38 years he’s won 35 major honours including 15 English and Scottish League titles, and four European trophies.
But as he sat in the bowels of Old Trafford on Tuesday night, distraught after that shattering defeat, one number will have been pounding away inside his skull: Two.
That’s the number of times he’s managed to defeat Jose Mourinho in 16 attempts.
It’s also the number of European Cups he’s won, despite 20 years of trying, at one of the world’s biggest clubs in an era when English football has never been richer.
And it’s still one less than Bob Paisley.
"Whereas Mourinho looked like a gem-thief in a jewellers’ shop, immediately replacing his right-back with Luka Modric to exploit the new-found space in midfield, Fergie looked like a punch-drunk bar-room brawler.
He staggered around, arms waving, seeking answers from the fourth official and urging the fans to bawl them over the line when he should have been clinically analysing how to counter Mourinho. It was like staring at Ally McLeod in Argentina."
Hahaha, Brilliant Article.
Buddymango don't bring the Cfc into this they know how to score and hold a lead and you call man u a attacking team but none of there goals came during open play like attacking teams do they scored a set piece header and real scored an own goal. All three of real goals were from open play. Man u was in the lead and with 10 men couldn't handle the Spanish side unlike the Cfc in camp nou.
