in this match there was a wrong call where it was ruled the ball crossed the line out of play for a goal kick when it was actually kept in play, as the cross was made, by Rafael Da Silva (? not sure i recall correctly but think it was him). The whole of the ball did not cross the line to be out.

that happened more than once. I believe I saw a similar mistake that benefitted man utd when the valencia ran like mad towards the corner, caught the ball, back heeled the ball off of an ac milan player who managed to save it before it went completely over the line (IMHO) but it was called against ac milan.

my mistake, CL Semi Final last year in the 3-1 win and the win in the league couple of months ago in the league by the same scoreline.

so it should read: the only Asian player to score twice against Arsenal in the on seperate occasions in the span of one year.

This article is like Viagra to all of us Park fanboys.

Central Park

Wayne Rooney scored three of United’s seven goals, but Sir Alex says the man most responsible for crippling AC Milan over two legs was Ji-sung Park.

In both matches, Park was tasked with man-marking playmaker Andrea Pirlo, a job the South Korean carried out to perfection. With no time or space on the ball, Pirlo was unable to pull the strings and feed Milan’s forwards with the ball.

“Park was the key to our game,” Sir Alex told MUTV. “We can talk about Rooney – and he was great – but Park’s discipline, intelligence and sacrifice won us the match tactically. Pirlo is such an important player for them.”

Club captain Gary Neville, who was barely troubled by Brazilian star Ronaldinho, also acknowledged the role Park played in Wednesday night’s win.

“I don’t know if it was easy out there [against Ronaldinho], but you have to look at the work Ji-sung Park did, stopping the forwards getting the service. A player like Ronaldinho is difficult to mark if he gets good service but I was able to get close to him.”
