Jose denies he snubbed Fergie at San Siro
Sir Alex Ferguson and Jose Mourinho may not have shaken hands after Tuesday’s Champions League tie between their respective clubs and certainly disagreed about the quality of Spanish referee Luis Medina Cantalejo but Inter Milan’s boss insists the pair “are always friends”.
Mourinho was distinctly unimpressed with Cantalejo’s handling of the goalless game, seeing four of his players booked, including substitute goalkeeper Francesco Toldo who was yellow carded for protesting by the touchline.
The referee in yesterday’s game had a fine game. All the fouls which were called against Inter were deserved as often the Inter players were sticking out their leg to impend any United attack. Just a mind game to deflect against Inter’s performance.
Liverpool await decision on Gerrard fitness
Liverpool will know this morning whether Steven Gerrard will be able to lead them into their toughest Champions League clash of the season when they take on Real Madrid on Wednesday evening.
The best players find a way to play in the biggest games. If Gerrard is close to 100% and that it appears to be the case look for him to play some part today against Real Madrid.
