00:00Quarter-final second leg at the San Siro. The result takes Alex Ferguson's side through 3-1 overall for their
00:06second European Cup semi-final in the past three years.
00:11United knew they'd come up against him eventually. He missed the warm-up, but there he was, last out of
00:17the tunnel, as Inter went for broke.
00:19But United soaked up the pressure. Zamorano thought he should have had a penalty and got nothing.
00:24Henning Berg played one of his best games for United. He scooped the ball away from Zamorano's head.
00:29Only Diego Simeone ended up in the back of the net. He turned an ankle and didn't make it to
00:34half-time.
00:35Zanetti hit a post before the break. Ronnie Jonsson set up United's best chance, but Cole fired over.
00:47There was no let-up in the second half. Baggio put Ronaldo in the clear.
00:53But he shot too close to Schmeichel. The Brazilian had suddenly found his feet, but he could lose them when
00:58he wanted to as well.
01:00The referee wasn't impressed. That was his last contribution, and his replacement, Nicola Ventola, made an impact straight away.
01:12Keane misjudged the bounce, and United had half an hour to hang on.
01:19Zay Elias should have drawn into level on aggregate.
01:25But with two minutes to spare, Paul Scholes, on as a substitute, made his mark at the San Siro.
01:32And the match was safe.
01:39Alex Ferguson said that they'd score, but he hasn't celebrated like that for a while.
01:44United through to the European Cup semi-finals.

01:51We had lucky moments, which sometimes you get in football and sometimes you don't.
02:01And we rode our luck at these moments.
02:04And yet we had some chances ourselves to finish it off, and we did.
02:09But in the nature of our club, we always make it as difficult as we possibly can to manage and
02:15the supporters.
02:16And that way, that's...
02:18I might mean a triple bypass.
02:20They had two or three, but...
