Wayne Rooney will face Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu tonight and Cristiano Ronaldo will face his former club. In Jose Mourinho’s words, “its the match the world has been waiting for”.
It’s definitely going to be a cracker of a game. But what are the United star’s favourite Champions League moments?
Here are Wayne Rooney’s top three Champions League moments:
3. Manchester United 3-2 AC Milan – April 24, 2007
“My two goals against AC Milan in the semi-final at Old Trafford in 2007 was one of my favourite moments of my career. It was a massive game and to score two goals was brilliant.”
Here’s a video of that match
2. Manchester United 6-2 Fenerbahce – September 29, 2004
