Coach Sir Alex Ferguson was delighted with the excellent victory of his players in the first Champions League semi-final match against "Schalke" from Gelsenkirchen.
The English team clearly dominated and secured a two-goal advantage - 2-0.
"I am very pleased because we played superbly. Throughout my career, we have played well in European cup tournaments many times, and this was one of those evenings," - said the Scotsman.
"When playing away, concentration is very important. Throughout this season, our footballers have not lacked it. Experience is needed on opponents' fields, and most importantly - confidence in controlling the ball," he added.
Ferguson also praised "Schalke" goalkeeper Manuel Neuer, who repeatedly saved his team. Earlier it was said that he could move to "Man Utd", but the Scot said: "We know that he chose Bayern Munich, but tonight he just played unbelievably. It was one of the best performances against my "Man Utd" team.
It's funny that only in the 50th minute, when Javier Hernandez scored from a distance, the players believed they could defeat him."
