00:00Barcelona's participation altogether.
00:02Your commentators at the Nou Camp are Ron Atkinson and Clive Tilsey.
00:30And for Barcelona. What a start!
00:34Yes, well, we thought all the problems were going to be with United's defence.
00:37Sorry, with Barcelona's defence.
00:40United's defence have got themselves into a right-tangle there.
00:53Kohl trying to get in behind Reisinger.
00:55It's a good turn by Andy Kohl.
00:56We try to go past him again.
00:58And Wes Brown was up inside the penalty area, long with Dwight York instead.
01:02Barcelona can break in behind Wes Brown now with Zendon.
01:05And this is Rivaldo.
01:06And he's played it into Sonny Anderson.
01:08He's onside.
01:09And Schmeichel had to make a very good save.
01:12Smart work by the Manchester United keeper.
01:15Quickly off his mind.
01:16Using his huge frame to block out the line in front of Anderson.
01:20But despite his looks towards the linesman on the near side,
01:24no flag, great chance for Barcelona.
01:26But still better presence.
01:28He's not offside.
01:28He's held his run.
01:29Ball's flotted through just a bit right.
01:31The full marks to the big day.
01:34That'll have done him a power of good, that.
01:36That'll get his adrenaline flowing.
01:39Corner dealt with by York.
01:41And you just get the feeling with, you know, sometimes, I've said this before,
01:45sometimes things trigger a side off.
01:47Whether it's a surging run from midfield, whether it's a great save by the keeper or something like that.
01:52And United look at this moment in time as if they need a big lift.
01:55A big adrenaline lift, if you like.
02:04They didn't register a single shot on target here four years ago.
02:09They were one down at this stage.
02:11They conceded a crucial second.
02:14Right on the stroke of half-time, never recovered from it.
02:17Long fist, though, to York.
02:18Great chance.
02:19Dwight York, 1-1.
02:21Manchester United's first threat on the Barcelona goal
02:24produces a priceless goal for Dwight York.
02:30What an impact he's had.
02:33He has now scored in four Champions League games in a row.
02:39Well, they're looking for inspiration.
02:40They've got it.
02:41I mean, that is a phenomenal thing to happen for them.
02:45Full marks to Blomqvist for his pass.
02:47They're a measured pass into Yorkie's run.
02:49Yorkie's shot's just...
02:50Well, that's brilliant.
02:51That's brilliant.
02:53That's the pass measured inside.
02:54His first touch is excellent.
02:56Opens his body out.
02:56Hits it a little bit earlier,
02:58but drills it where the keeper's got no price.
03:02Pick that one out.
03:05Sonny Anderson scored in the opening minute for the home team.
03:08Dwight York equalised after 25 minutes.
03:12Just a minute earlier, Anderson was clean through
03:14and was stopped by the finish line.
03:17Solardis.
03:19It's full cross.
03:19Almost a chance for Anderson.
03:21Wouldn't come for Rivaldo.
03:23It will for Figo.
03:24And a terrific double save by Schmeichel as Rivaldo came in.
03:29Wonderful stop by the Manchester United goalkeeper.
03:31Not so much that he managed to beat away the initial effort,
03:34but that he responded and punched away the loose ball.
03:38Scholes to Cole.
03:40Now York.
03:41Beckham.
03:54Well left by York.
03:56Fed by Cole.
03:57Back to Andy Cole from Dwight York.
03:59Fantastic goal for Manchester United.
04:02Eight minutes to the same half gone.
04:04Andy Cole the scorer.
04:05The combination between Cole and York was out of this world.
04:11Marvellous goal.
04:16Oh, they look made for each other.
04:22Yeah, how many times we've seen them since they've been paired together
04:24do that little movement where the first one dummies over it.
04:27Goes into the path of the second player.
04:30And that's a measured pass from York.
04:32Your first time ball.
04:33Played early.
04:34Straight into Cole's path.
04:36There's the little dummy.
04:37The little play back.
04:38And this is where he catches them.
04:39He plays his second pass early.
04:41Catches the defender on the wrong foot.
04:42Good first touch.
04:44Well tucked away.
04:45Brilliant goal.
04:45That's as good a goal as you'll see in Europe this week.
04:48That's classical.
04:52Barcelona free kick.
04:56Manchester United a long, long way from home yet.
05:01Austrian referee has got the wall back where he wants it.
05:05It's Rivaldo.
05:07Oh, deflected.
05:08And Barcelona are at level.
05:13Speichel lost the flight of it completely.
05:19Rivaldo has equalised with 12 minutes in the second half gone.
05:26But what happened to his free kick?
05:31Speichel doesn't know.
05:33Well, certainly Speichel's set off to as if he's going to go across the other way.
05:37I don't know if it was deflected.
05:38I don't think it was.
05:39I think Speichel has read the script that he's going to play to his left hand.
05:43Because that's where Speichel's left the big space.
05:45And I think he's just genuinely wrong-footed him.
05:50Cole was dragged down by Reisinger.
05:52But Manchester United are not dragged down.
05:54It's back into York.
05:55Ha!
05:56Just hit the back stance.
05:59Corner kick.
06:00Must have been a save there, wasn't it?
06:02Yes, Gibbs made a little left-handed save there.
06:05I don't think Yorkie's header was going on top.
06:08That's a lovely little ball into it.
06:09Right area.
06:10Yorkie just can't get enough on it.
06:11It might have been going in.
06:13That's quite a good, agile save.
06:15But a super break by United again.
06:18Still a quarter of the match remaining.
06:20It's 2-2.
06:24Beckham with the corner.
06:26Turned away by Figa.
06:30Skulls it to Keane.
06:33Now Beckham once more.
06:35York attacking the near post.
06:36He's got it right this time, all right.
06:38Manchester United are back in front.
06:41And it's Dwight York again.
06:44David Beckham with the swinging cross on the right-hand side.
06:48York's insatiable appetite for goals has given Manchester United the advantage again.
06:543-2 in the Nou Camp.
06:57Xavi.
07:01Rivaldo.
07:04Sergi.
07:09It's in towards Rivaldo.
07:11Oh, he's done it again.
07:14It's 3-3.
07:16Just as it was at Old Trafford in September.
07:20And Rivaldo with a chase to the overhead where a simple header would have done.
07:25Has gone his second of the night.
07:27Barcelona's third.
07:29And where, where, where is all that's going to end?
07:32Sumterus stuff.
07:36Rivaldo.
07:36Hat-trick hunting.
07:38Strap that well.
07:39Scratch it against the crossbar.
07:41Oh, he's unstoppable at the moment, this man.
07:44But Rivaldo.
07:46I think you got your message about the European Player of the Year.
07:49All of a sudden, since then, he's, he's seemed to pull everything out of the bag.
07:52But that is a shot and a half.
07:54Peter Schmeichel's counting it 4-3.
07:59Longfist is breaking down the left-hand side.
08:01He's onside.
08:02Cole and York are in the centre.
08:04Yes, but Blomqvist from Manchester United.
08:07Oh, he's found a way through to Andy Cole.
08:10Oh, saved by the leg of Hesse.
08:14Scholesler to Blomqvist.
08:17Crossed in again.
08:18Dwight York is there.
08:20It's Nicky Barthes.
08:22Didn't begin to get hold of it.
08:27Great irony for Cole was the ball wouldn't come through quick enough to him.
08:32Just wouldn't roll quick enough so he could snap at it.
08:34Don't have a long time.
