In the Champions League tournament taking place in the United States, the best European teams are preparing for the new season. On Tuesday, in Group A, the clubs "Roma" and "Manchester United" secured victories. "Manchester United" only defeated Milan's "Inter" team 5:3 in a penalty shootout and will face Madrid's "Real" in the final for a spot on Saturday. The crucial penalty was scored by team captain Darren Fletcher. In this tournament, the English team has not lost yet and has three wins out of three. In these matches, coach Louis van Gaal made four changes - Anders Lindegaard, Chris Smalling, D. Fletcher, and Ashley Young appeared in the starting lineup. The penalties were scored by Ashley Young, Javier Hernandez, Cleverley, Shinji Kagawa, and D. Fletcher for the "Reds." In the other match, "Roma" defeated Madrid's "Real" club 1:0, which lost hope of defending the tournament champions title. Francesco Totti scored in the 58th minute. By the way, before the match, former "Barcelona" player Seydou Keita refused to shake hands with Pepe and later threw a water bottle at him. The hostility between these players dates back to when S.Keita played for the "Barcelona" team. He has stated that during one match, Pepe called him a monkey. Xabi Alonso helped to calm the passions and start the match.
