Manchester to host Roma in reverse Champions League fixture.

Santhosh Joseph April 10, 2007

Manchester would be looking forward to give a fitting reply to Italian side on Tuesday, April 10 at the Old Trafford. Manchester will have the advantage of home in the reverse leg of this Champions League Quarterfinal tie. The first leg in Rome at Stadio Olimpico on last Wednesday, had given the Premiership leaders a big blow. The Red devils reduced to 10, lost the game 1-2 with Paul Scholes red carded and the match was marred with clashes between United fans and the Italian police. Some of the supporters were beaten up badly by the police and the way the police handled the fans has put the Italian police under spot-light. Before the tie United fans were warned in letters and on the club's website to avoid certain areas of the city, as they could be attacked by Roma's hardcore fans.

With the Red Devils and the Red fans will be looking forward to get even at Old Trafford, splendid action is guaranteed, but the latter could be dangerous. If United net gets disturbed first, tough time for the police.

Whatever the result is going to be, the match is going to be exciting. Do not miss this sure-fire action-packed game.
