Let's take a jibe at Arsenal by claims that it was eleven men against eleven babies at the Emirates. It has been reported that the after the Champions League semi-final which saw Manchester United dispose Arsenal with a 4-1 aggregate. We have much more experience and that's what made the difference. We were always confident. It should have been that score in the first leg anyway. It is a great United team that won.
Football today is not only about playing well, it's about winning trophies. Everybody talks about the way Arsenal play but, at the end of the day, it's about winning silverware. At United, we play well and we win. Tactically and technically we were superior. You look at our starting 11 and theirs and you see that we are well above. Lots of people are disappointed because they thought they would beat us like they did in the league. But the Champions League is another level. Arsene Wenger's men were no match for a rampant United who played like men possessed and ended the contest with two early goals from Park Ji-Sung and Cristiano Ronaldo in the first 45 minutes.

Ronaldo stunned the Emirates Stadium with a 40-yard free-kick on Tuesday and followed up with his 25th goal of another incredible season - a figure even more remarkable because he started a month behind everyone else after a summer ankle operation. People forget Cristiano had an operation at the start of the season. It takes time to get over that. He has done well to recover so quickly and now I think we are seeing the Cristiano Ronaldo everyone knows.
Ferguson will have to raise the spirits of Darren Fletcher, who knows he must watch from the stands in Rome, just as Paul Scholes and Roy Keane did at the Nou Camp 10 years ago.
However, such is the strength of Fletcher's character, he could well be involved against City, with Ferdinand giving away its importance as a title decider.
