Il Manchester United, andando a vincere per due a zero in casa dei tedeschi dello Schalke 04, ha quasi strappato in anticipo il biglietto per la finale di Champions’ League dove, salvo sorprese nella gara dell’ “Old Trafford,affronterà la vincente della doppia sfida tra Barcellona e Real Madrid. In Ulster festa grande per il Linfield (foto) che nel centoventicinquesimo anniversario della fondazione ha conquistato il proprio cinquantesimo titolo nazionale.

Manchester United took a giant step towards the Champions League final as they outplayed Schalke in Germany.

United could have been well ahead in the semi-final first leg by half-time, denied only by a series of incredible saves from Germany keeper Manuel Neuer.They broke the deadlock when Wayne Rooney slipped in Ryan Giggs to slot home and Rooney doubled the advantage by firing in a Javier Hernandez pass.Edwin van der Sar saved from Sergio Escudero, but Schalke were awful.United will welcome Schalke to Old Trafford on Wednesday 4 May for the second leg and they now know, barring a complete catastrophe, that they will once again represent English football in the showpiece of the European game.Sir Alex Ferguson had warned his side not to underestimate Schalke prior to the match, with United the hot favourites to progress to the Wembley final on 28 May and face either Real Madrid or Barcelona.Schalke, 10th in the Bundesliga, had destroyed holders Inter Milan 7-3 on aggregate in the quarter-finals, but they were completely overrun from the first whistle by a United side better in every area of the pitch.Until they got as far as Neuer, that is. The 25-year-old Schalke captain and Germany number one, who announced last week he would be leaving his hometown club in the summer after a 20-year association, produced a goalkeeping performance of the very highest order for more than an hour.

Neuer pulled off a succession of stunning saves for Schal

He was a one-man barrier who prevented United wrapping up the tie in the first 45 minutes, thwarting the visitors as they carved the Schalke defence open almost at will.After Alexander Baumjohann sent a first-minute shot into the arms of Van der Sar as Schalke produced the first attempt of any note, it was all United, as they produced a display of fluent, attacking football their opponents could not live with.Rooney’s deflected shot was wonderfully clawed away by Neuer, who then denied Park Ji-Sung low down to his right and Hernandez too – and that was all inside the opening 10 minutes.Schalke were without key defender Benedikt Hoewedes because of injury and the gaping holes at the back suggested they badly missed him.Neuer continued to deny United, superbly sticking out a hand to deny Hernandez again, with the Mexican wasting two more golden openings shortly after.It seemed a matter of time before United would score but Neuer made another breathtaking one-handed save from Giggs’ downward header, denied Hernandez once more from the right-hand side of the box and then stood his ground to thwart Giggs from a cute Rooney pass.

Although it defied belief that the score was 0-0 at the break, in the second half United picked up where they had left off as Patrice Evra’s glancing header forced Neuer to tip over his crossbar.After Giggs shot wide, Schalke had a five-minute period in which they at least competed. A dangerous Raul cross to the far post was headed away by Rio Ferdinand and Edu forced Van der Sar to save low down to his left.But United were gearing themselves up for another wave of attacks and they eventually scored the goal their extraordinary dominance deserved.Schalke’s generosity meant Rooney could have driven a bus through their defence, but he settled for slipping in Giggs, the Welsh veteran keeping his cool to slot between Neuer’s legs and send the travelling support into ecstasy.In the process, at 37 years and 148 days old, Giggs became the oldest goalscorer in Champions League history, overtaking AC Milan striker Filippo Inzaghi when he scored against Real Madrid in November.It got even better for the United fans two minutes later as Hernandez was given what seemed an eternity to run on to a loose ball and find Rooney in the area, his strike partner giving Neuer no chance by dispatching the ball into the bottom corner.Schalke, bereft of ideas and the ability to hit back at United, were restricted to pot shots from distance and substitute Escudero brought a good save from Van der Sar, but they were never likely to get back into it.A jubilant United, also six points clear at the top of the Premier League, will now pay close attention to the first leg of the Real Madrid v Barcelona semi-final at the Santiago Bernabeu on Wednesday.

Linfield rack up 50th Irish league title

Linfield have sealed an historic 50th league title on their 125th anniversary, with a 4-0 win over Lisburn Distillery.

There was no Gibson Cup to parade at the final whistle – it isn’t due to be presented until Saturday’s game against Portadown at Windsor Park – but that did little to dampen the spirits.Speaking afterwards, Linfield supremo David Jeffrey – with eight titles as manager to his name – said: “To win 4-0 is testimony to the players. To win in such fashion is phenomenal, absolutely phenomenal, and they deserve every amount of credit and praise.”In terms of pressure and expectation, there is no club on the island of Ireland that has that – where you have to win, win, win. And the players have stood up and handled that expectation brilliantly.”The Blues dominated play in the first half, but the breakthrough didn’t come until the 31st minute. A free kick from Aaron Burns resulted in some goalmouth ping-pong, and up popped Michael Carville to grab Linfield’s first of the afternoon.Just after the hour mark, it was 2-0 – Robbie Garrett was up-ended in the box and the referee pointed to the spot. Up stepped Peter Thompson to dispatch the penalty and double the visitors’ advantage.Linfield’s third came just two minutes later. Good work from Chris Casement and Winkie Murphy left Carville with the simplest of finishes, as he claimed his second goal of the afternoon.After that it was exhibition stuff, and Mark McAllister provided a fitting end to the game as he waltzed through the Whites’ defence before firing home to make it 4-0.It means the Gibson Cup will return to its well-worn spot in the Windsor Park trophy cabinet, as Linfield claim their fifth Championship in six years.Despite disappointment, Distillery boss Tommy Wright offered his congratulations to the winning side.”The day was about Linfield – congratulations to David, they have had a tremendous season and fully deserve to be champions,” he said.”From our point of view, that’s another game where we haven’t turned up against them and a lot of questions need to be answered.”But of course for Linfield, the season isn’t over yet – victory in the Irish Cup final on May 7 would set up a double celebration for David Jeffrey’s side.
