'We've proved we have the best league in the world — which is why we attract the best players in the world. 'It's down to English players if they decide to play abroad but, for me, English football is the best. I love playing here and I'm pretty sure that'll never change.' Rooney
's comments will perhaps provoke a little mirth on Merseyside. After all, the 22-year-old once vowed never to leave Everton — and promptly left for Old Trafford in 2004. But United's win over Lyon on Tuesday and Arsenal's stunning triumph in Milan have clearly got Rooney thinking about the prospects of English clubs meeting in the last eight of the Champions League — and perhaps beyond.

How many will Ronaldo score? 2008-02-27 17:07:00 Love him or loathe him, you cannot deny that Manchester United and Portugal star Cristiano Ronaldo

While Ronaldo is now only three short of George Best's club record for a winger of 32 in all competitions, it is Dennis Viollet'

is a footballing extravaganza that no football crazy would like to miss. It is hence, not an understatement nor an offense to the remaining teams (Chelsea and Liverpool), when people say this match is as good as a final.Both United and Barcelona play this beautiful game the way it ought to be played, with the flair attacking style. Both teams consist of the finest footballing talents in the world. No wonder footballing pundits are sitting on the fence on this one. They are abstaining from making any predictions because the match is truly very tigh
