Kaka vs. Ronaldo

Manchester United have been hit by an injury crisis ahead of Tuesday's Champions League semi-final first leg against AC Milan at Old Trafford.
Only 10 outfield players were able to take part in full training on Monday.

Defenders Rio Ferdinand, Gary Neville, Nemanja Vidic, Mikael Silvestre and Craig Cathcart will definitely miss the game, while Patrice Evra is doubtful.
If Evra misses out, Darren Fletcher is set to fill in at right-back, with Wes
Left-back Gabriel Heinze is United's only other fit defender.
Midfielders Ji-Sung Park and Kieran Richardson will miss the game, along with striker Louis Saha.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was unable to train on Monday but is expected to be fit to take his place on the bench.

In contrast to United, AC Milan were able to rest a host of players for their league match on Saturday.

Manager Carlo Ancelotti has a virtually fully-fit squad available, with striker Alberto Gilardino returning after suspension.
Keeper Dida has been included in the squad but is a doubt with a shoulder injury, while Ronaldo is cup-tied.

Ancelotti was encouraged by the news that Ferdinand will not feature at Old Trafford but is wary of United's attacking threat.
"Ferdinand is a very important player for their defence," he said.
"But we will have to be careful and keep possession of the ball but that could be a two-edged sword, because if we do not do well our opponents could hit us on the counter-attack."


In a game that could be very close (not a 7-1 thrashing :]]) What do you think the result will be, and with 2 of the worlds best players against each other, who will come out on top, Kaka or ronaldo?

 

even with the injury crisis my moneys still on utd and ronaldo to come out on top

 

3/1 Milan to win, with the United defence as solid as a jelly.

 

What a price!

 

i have a tenner on meelan at 11/1 each way to win the champions league.

man utd 0 v meelan 1

 

that tenner's gone as Ronaldo has given United the lead after 6 mins.

 

Obvious own goal. No way was that Ronaldo's! Dida pushed it into the net

However it seems UEFA disagree with me which I find baffling.

 

Kaka has 2 goals.

 

Kaka 2-1 Ronaldo

 

3-2 united

 

What a game. As predicted, Kaka and Ronaldo played well, scoring 3 goals btween them. Rooneys goal was good

 

kaka played alright. like gilardino he rarely got the ball after the first half. i say like gilardino he rarely got the ball, but thats unfair on kaka. gilardino didn't do anything the entire game.

 

Gilardino was anonymous at best.

 

for me, inzaghi is much better than gilardino. i think gilardino has never made a brilliant game (at least at an international competition)

 

I think that is slightly unfair. He is an exellent player on his day.

 

maybe, but I have never seen him brilliant
