Roma 0 United 2

Any lingering doubts about Cristiano Ronaldo’s label as the world’s greatest footballer were comfortably dispelled last night. The one criticism held against him was that on the really big occasions he can go missing. Well, in the Stadio Olimpico he reduced Roma to ruins. His goal and all-round performance have all but put Manchester United into the semi-finals of the Champions League. But it was not all about Ronaldo. It was about Alex Ferguson’s new, young team coming of age in what is the toughest of global club competitions. This was one of the club’s greatest-ever performances away from home in Europe.
