00:03...humankind making its way from the nearby station, and we expect every seat to be filled.
00:09An atmosphere of great expectation and excitement.
00:14This is, of course, the Camp Nou, one of the best known, perhaps the best known of all, the venues
00:21in European football.
00:24A mouth-watering game, this between two very high-quality sides.
00:28That's a treat for everybody here.
00:30Well, get ready for some high-grade football, Peter.
00:33Two strong teams, as you say, full of wonderful individual talent, and we have every right to anticipate some really
00:40entertaining football.
00:41As to whether we'll see a high-scoring contest, that's a little harder to predict.
00:46I'm not complaining, though, because there are good players everywhere you look around this surface, and that's a fine start
00:53in itself.
00:55And if you did just miss it, we are up and running already.
01:01That a foul? Yes, the referee's given it.
01:17Top save! That shot was travelling!
01:37In he goes again!
01:39Goal! Manchester United!
01:47Andres Pereira with a predatory goal.
01:50But for me, that's just pure predatory breeze.
01:53It's not so much the finish, but the way you read the situation, where nobody else was even allowed to.
01:58It's fantastic.
02:26By a Leverkusen, didn't expect this, that's for sure.
02:30What can they do now?
02:34And it's Bellarabi.
02:36Just brushed off the ball there.
02:42Bellarabi plays it out to the flank.
02:47Slightly better ball would have led to a very different outcome there.
02:51And that was just poor decision-making and a weak execution.
03:00Diaby provides it out there.
03:06He really wasn't very much in that far away from being a telling final ball.
03:12Bayer Leverkusen seemed to have chosen a tougher route through the mid...
03:15Rashford!
03:18He's done very well to get to that.
03:21Well, that was high-class goalkeeping there to back up his high-class wage.
03:31And then through to the goalkeeper.
03:34And then through to the goalkeeper.
03:47Matic, that's really nice now.
03:50What next?
04:18He's done very well with that.
04:19And then through to the goalkeeper.
04:20There's a two-motion goalie.
04:20He's done very well!
04:21from him
04:24oh well defended that had to be done
04:31marcial he's had a shot oh real danger here
04:40oh and the shots
04:46two up now and they are cruising
04:51really outwitted one-on-one once more he gets the better of the keeper
04:56yeah that's brilliant from him such a calm finish just pick your spot
05:00don't think about what the keeper is going to do concentrate on what you have to do
05:08manchester united take a two goal lead and things should be comfortable from here on in
05:14no doubt as to who has the momentum here now the only doubt is how many is coming
05:21real chance to break rashford
05:31it's belarabi great strength too strong for his opponent
05:39fire labor crews have made it clear what they're trying to do for me peter what are they trying to
05:44do well i think they're making the pitch as big as possible to that's clear cut it's a free kick
06:05good interception here's the delivery
06:13speculative strike that has certainly tested the keeper oh that's a sparkling save absolutely
06:20sparkling his reflexes work ultra sharp and here's rashford it's rashford
06:28oh a very decent attempt
06:34jobby
06:53this could fall anywhere marcial tore at them and just came up short
07:00yeah the confidence we can admire the decision making we can't he learned from it
07:11maguire tries to pass forward
07:17and no that is pretty much the end of that
07:28bender tar
07:34belarabi
07:37out towards the flank
07:40drb
07:46and the follow-up it's broke he can count on that
07:51shapes the suits
07:54volleyed effort well that was inventive and speculative but the thought process was a little slicker than the
08:00attempt
08:15no no way through there
08:18oh he's not going to get that
08:20promising move that good inroads into enemy territory but no joy
08:29it's belarabi
08:33regardless of the outcome it is good to see someone running at the defense like that
08:39sure does well there alert
08:43and treas carrera plays it forward
08:46rashford
08:46he's put away
08:48rashford
08:50oh what a wonderful stop well what can i say truly wonderful goalkeeping
09:04there's a long ball
09:07in towards the middle
09:09and the keeper's in command
09:12and it's martial
09:16and it's been intercepted and that will come to nothing
09:19looking to force his way through
09:37jabi
09:47rashford
09:49and here's marcial
09:53it's on a plate
09:55rashford
09:56goes through the middle
10:04aranguiz
10:09trb
10:11belarabi
10:18forward it goes
10:20he's through the middle
10:22and he's there to cut it out
10:26he's gone for it
10:27i think that's offside
10:57another show of strength
11:00manchester united
11:01sitting pretty here at half time
11:03two nil up
11:05so we're just settling back into this second half
11:11and it's rashford
11:15and here's marcial rashford
11:18played out to the right
11:50not sure that that won't get through
11:53play for a throw
12:01this is
12:22he's going to be in the middle of the middle of the middle of the middle of the middle of
12:25the
12:26What's it's one?
12:29And it's paid forward
12:32Rashford really was well marshalled there because he was denied the opportunity to to turn
12:40He gets
12:51In for the pieces it's in
12:56And the second half is off to a flyer
13:04De Gea did well the first time nothing he could do about the follow-up
13:08Well look regardless of whether the keeper could have done better or not Peter
13:12That was all down to the excellent movement in getting into the right position to apply the final touch
13:25She told me to go better
13:47And to go to the원
13:51But over here
13:54She said
13:55to level things up
14:03down by a lack of accuracy
14:09he's got options out wide
14:15no that's over here
14:27Martial
14:31Andreas Pereira
14:34by a Leverkusen keeping their men at arm's length here
14:38I just think it's a conservative move to deny runners the opportunity of going beyond that rear guard
14:46tries to get it forward quickly
14:48Diaby
14:57going through
14:59still going
15:00where to next
15:02he's making
15:03well that looks a foul
15:04yep referee's given it
15:10probably be looking to play it square from here
15:13so who's he going to be aiming for here
15:21and he heaves it forward
15:30good
15:31good idea just poorly executed
15:35and it's Martial
15:38Bruno Fernandes
15:40he's making a foray down the right
15:46well they could break here
15:49place it through
15:51hit long and direct
15:56fire Leverkusen showing a little more urgency now and to be honest Peter this is what's required
16:01Jim there's not too much subtlety or sophistication about this
16:05it really is a question of needs must
16:08that's a foul free kick's been given
16:14so
16:35it's ruffled a few feathers but well dealt with
16:41Good challenge, he just stood firm
16:47And here's Rashford
16:49Andreas Pereira
16:52That's just very well played
16:54He can hurt you with his back to goal
16:56And he didn't go for the back heel
17:00And here's Martial
17:03Gets it back
17:08That's an untidy challenge
17:10Free kick given
17:29Derby
17:31Decent strike
17:33Kicks it out
17:40Made into space out wide
17:47Timely intervention
17:51And it's Aranguiz
17:56Helps available out wide
18:00Repelled by the keeper
18:05That's a throw
18:14He's got options out wide
18:16Great lead
18:19Should have been the equaliser
18:21Derby knows only too well
18:23How important the chance was
18:25He's snatched at it
18:36Fire Leverkus are definitely not going down without a scrap
18:40Their attitude just can't be faulted
18:45It could be in here
18:48Manchester United are looking to make this one safe
18:52They want to reduce the risk
18:53They want to reduce the risk
18:58Bellarabi
19:01Diaby
19:01Place it out to the wing
19:07Helps available out wide
19:11Keep calm
19:12And carry on
19:13That's the job
19:14In a nutshell
19:15Now
19:25Jarby
19:29It's anyone's ball
19:30Out to the right
19:35Look with time running out
19:36They have to get the ball
19:37In the penalty box
19:38And if it means a long punt
19:39Then so be it
19:40They've got to give themselves
19:41A chance
19:55It's loose
19:56Who's getting the
19:57Bellarabi
19:59And he's there to make a great save
20:02Bellarabi
20:03Is very sporting here
20:04To acknowledge the quality of the save
20:06A lovely little footballing moment
20:09Rashford
20:10Gets the better of his man
20:13Chance
20:15A real chance
20:17And a real let off
20:33Hoist it forward
20:38All the balls come loose
20:41He's pulled him up
20:42For that challenge
20:59Manchester United
21:00Need to hold on
21:01For a few more moments
21:05Now can he capitalise
21:09And that is that
21:10Manchester United
21:12Have held on
21:13A knife edge game
21:15A single goal margin
21:16For a few more moments
21:16To be continued
21:17To be continued
21:17To be continued
