Manchester United vs Schalke 2011
Old Trafford, Manchester- 4/5/11- 4 May, 2011- Champions League Semifinal- Second Leg
Final score:- Manchester United vs Schalke 4-1 ( Valencia, Gibson, Anderson*2/ Jose M.Jurado)
Manchester United’s second string side thrash Schalke 4-1 at Old Trafford to win 6-1 on aggregate and progress to a final meeting in the UEFA Champions League with FC Barcelona at Wembley.
This Darron Gibson goal vs Schalke gave Manchester United a 2-0 lead in the second leg of their Champions League tie over German side Schalke 04. The Gibson goal against Schalke came minutes after the midfielder had produced a stunning pass to set up Luis Valencia for Manchester United’s first game.
The Gibson goal vs Schalke was also an error/howler from Schalke keeper Manuel Neuer, who had a stunning game when his side lost 2-0 to Man United in the first leg. Neuer somewhat shockingly failed to get behind the ball and Gibson’s shot to richochett off the post and into the net. Elementary error from Neuer, who is set to leave Schalke in the summer.
If you want an example of Andres Iniesta’s glorious passing abilities, look no further than this Pedro goal vs Real Madrid in the Champions League.
