46′ - Barca set to kick off the second half. The Catalan Giants will be looking to hold on to, if not add on, to their lead as they were unable to this weekend in La Liga.

63′ - Iniesta has a shot but it doesn’t trouble Neuer
64′ - Eto’o had a defender one-on-one in the box but was unable to beat him and the ball is played out for a corner. The shorts corner showed some promise but Barca’s front line are unable to connect.

87′ - Another foul from Schalke, they don’t seem to realize that every set piece they give Barcelona is able to run another minute off the clock by taking their time
88′ - Gio makes a great hustle play to earn a corner for Barca
88′ - Altintop makes room on the pitch for Lovenkrands

Thank you for checking in and we’ll see you again tomorrow
is Totti in the starting line up for Roma or is he on the bench? any way you could post Roma’s starting lineup?
thanks for posting the line ups! has Roma been holding their own or has Man U been dominating?
It seems to be pretty even, except for that very valuable away goal from Ronaldo.
