Man United sent packing

Champs league

Bayer Leverkusen clinched a place in the final of the Champions League on Tuesday after holding Manchester United to a 1-1 draw in a nail-biting semi-final, second leg encounter at the BayArena.
The aggregate scores were tied at 3-3, but Leverkusen take their place in Europe's showpiece event on the away goals rule.
United, who drew the first leg at Old Trafford 2-2, took the lead through their captain Roy Keane just before the half-hour mark only for Oliver Neuville to peg back the English giants.
The visitors came close to snatching a winner that would have sent them through two minutes from time, but Diego Placente was on the goalline to head clear United substitute Diego Forlan's goalbound lob.
United's exit from the tournament ended manager Alex Ferguson's hopes of leading his team out in the final on May 15 in his native Glasgow.
Ferguson said Leverkusen's equaliser in first-half stoppage time proved to be the turning point of a pulsating match.
"I felt that to lose a goal just before half-time was decisive, a real killer," he said. "They came out bouncing for the second-half and showed that confidence. We took 15 minutes to get going after the break. That was a disappointing feature for us.
"If we had gone in 1-0 up at halftime it might have been a different story."
Ferguson bemoaned Placente's last-gasp intervention when Forlan's shot appeared to be on its way in.
"His clearance was incredible. In any game you need a bit of luck and we had four chances cleared off the line," he added.
The United boss was, however, magnanimous in defeat and saluted Leverkusen for a spirited display in front of a passionate 22,500 crowd.
"They are a very good team and I wish them well in the final," said the Scotsman.
Leverkusen manager Klaus Toppmoller was overwhelmed by his team's performance.
"It's a dream has come true," he said proudly with a broad smile on his face. "It's almost unbelievable. Manchester United is a great team but we showed great passion. It's a great night for us."
But Toppmoller's triumph came at a high price with his talented Brazilian Ze Roberto earning a suspension which rules him out of the final.
"It's sad for him because he has been outstanding for us this season," he said.
United, European champions in 1999, were without England duo David Beckham and Gary Neville, both recovering from broken foot bones, so Paul Scholes and Wes Brown were drafted in.
Michael Ballack, Leverkusen's most influential player, had recovered from a bruised foot and started
in his usual midfield role for the Germans.
Leverkusen, who ceded leadership of the Bundesliga by one point to Borussia Dortmund on Saturday with one game to go, began with plenty of purpose with Ballack orchestrating all of their early moves.
And after Jens Nowotny was replaced by Zoltan Sebescen after the German international was stretchered off with suspected torn cruciate knee ligaments, the home side came within a whisker of taking the lead in the 13th minute.
Ze Roberto's intelligent angled pass set up Bernd Schneider 20 yards from goal, but his curling rightfoot effort struck the post with Fabien Barthez well beaten.
United responded to their early warning and went close themselves four minutes later.
Ryan Giggs swung over a rightwing corner which was met by French World Cup winner Laurent Blanc, but his powerful downward header was booted off the goalline by Ze Roberto.
United survived further pressure before finding inspiration from their captain Keane who broke the deadlock in the 28th minute.
Boris Zivkovic lost possession on the edge of his penalty area and Keane gratefully collected the ball with only Hans-Jorg Butt to beat.
Keane took the ball wide of the Leverkusen goalkeeper and slotted home from a tight angle much to the delight of United's travelling support tucked away in the corner.
But United's joy was cut short in first-half stoppage time. The dangerous Ze Roberto anticipated the run of Neuville who found himself in
space just outside the United penalty area. /p
The German's delicate chip sailed over Barthez at full stretch and clipped the underside of the crossbar before finding the back of the net.
United began the second-half nervously and almost conceded a second goal when Blanc's mistake let in Neuville, but the Leverkusen striker lost his composure and failed to cash in on the Frenchman's error.
Paul Scholes joined Nicky Butt in the referee's notebook for lashing out at Ze Roberto in the 57th minute before United made a double substitution, with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Denis Irwin coming on for Ronny Johnsen and Butt.
Ze Roberto earned his costly yellow card mid-way through the second half, meaning he would be suspended for the final.
A moment of madness by Barthez almost allowed Leverkusen to grab a second goal in the 82 minute.
The France international was caught up in a row with a Leverkusen player halfway between the centre-circle and his own goalline while the ball was still in play.
The ball then found its way to Schneider whose audacious chip cleared Barthez but also the crossbar.
As play switched to the other end, Jorge Butt's fingertips came to Leverkusen's rescue when Keane's piledriver appeared to be heading for the bottom corner.
With time running out, United were forced to throw everything forward and their efforts almost paid rich dividends but Placente was on hand to deny Forlan.
