ON the Tie
""Between
us and Chelsea, there is no difference," Ferguson
told Gazzetta dello Sport.
"It's two teams with plenty of champions, great
experience and winning coaches. "The small details
will define the tie.". |
 |
"They have an edge
because they had good ones [results] against us,"
"But this is the Champions League. The name of the
game on Wednesday is to get an away goal." |
