Scholes’ wonder goal sees Man United through to Moscow
April 30, 2008
A fabulous goal by Paul Scholes has been enough to take Manchested United through to next months UEFA Champions League final in Moscow. The tie ended 1-0 as the Scholes goal was the only shot to hit the back of the net over the two legs.
The goal to Scholes came on 14 minutes after Gianluca Zambrotta’s poor clearance fell to the 33 year old Manchester United player. Scholes was around 25 metres from goal when he unleashed his match winner. It was an untouchable strike that veered to the right and found its way into the top right corner of the net.
Scholes now has the chance to make amends for the 1999 Champions League final which he missed through suspension. On that occasion Manchester United claimed the title with a victory against Bayern Munich in Barcelona.
The Champions League final will be an all England affair as the other semifinal sees Chelsea at home against Liverpool.
The final will be staged in Moscow on 21 May 2008. Unlike the semis which are played over two legs it is a single match.
