It was a draw that felt like a win. Strange, really. It is very likely that Manchester United are going out of Europe considering all Bayern Munich need next week is 0-0 at home, and looking at the Barclays Premier League table they will not pass this way again until September 2015 at the earliest.
Even so, the cheer that erupted around Old Trafford as Nemanja Vidic gave David Moyes’s team the lead, and once more at the final whistle, would have been unlike anything the manager has heard in his brief tenure.
For now there is hope. And that was the last thing anyone expected after the first leg of this tie.
Manager David Moyes believes Manchester United have a “great opportunity” to eliminate Champions League holders Bayern Munich after a 1-1 draw in their last-eight first leg at Old Trafford.
In another match, Diego’s stunning away goal allowed Atletico Madrid to take a slender advantage into the second leg of their Champions League quarter-final as they drew with Barcelona.
