It was not really an expected trashing of Milan, as history was always against the United side.

Now the game is turned, and Ronaldinho, Beckham and the Milan team, travel to Manchester and attempt to overcome the deficit. They need to score at least two goals apart — 2-0, 3-1 or whatever.

Liverpool lost to Reading at FA Cup 1-2. This is another disaster for the Reds who were also ousted at the Champions League. Imagine, they lost to a club who is not even at the Premier League this season! Add to the woes is that they were beaten and at their own turf in Anfield in front of their fans. They also lost Torres and Gerrard to injury.
