We played a good match against United, but just couldn't seem to convert. I think it's again coming down to Pep's going back to fielding Müller as a false 9 instead of playing Mandzukic as a true striker from the start. Müller should have still been in the lineup, but back in midfield where he's always much more effective.

Anyways, we were saved again by Schweinsteiger and it's a big blow to us that he'll be missing the second leg, but I'm sure we'll manage.

Ideal starting lineup in the second leg, imo:

Neuer
Rafinha, Boateng, Dante, Alaba
Lahm, Kroos
Robben, Müller, Ribéry
Mandzukic

Subs: Shaqiri, Pizarro
