Manchester 部隊d have a place in the 支持する／優勝者s League final in their しっかり掴む after a goalless draw in their 半分-final first 脚 against Barcelona.

Ahead of Tuesday night's return at Old Trafford, we look at t he likely 重要な戦う／戦いs.

RIO FERDINAND v LIONEL MESSI

Messi outshone Cristiano Ronaldo at the Nou （軍の）野営地，陣営 and will be looking to do the same at Old Trafford. Like Ronaldo, the richly-talented Argentina 星／主役にする often operates from wide 役割s but can - and does - pop up to 破滅的な影響 in more central positions. He is still looking for match sharpness に引き続いて a 最近の傷害 lay-off, a fact Ferdinand will be hoping to 偉業／利用する.

Ferdinand lost his 冷静な／正味の in Saturday's 敗北・負かす at Chelsea but it takes a lot to 動揺させる the England defender these days. 以前は傾向がある to 正規の／正選手 lapses, the 29-year-old has a new-設立する空気／公表する of 当局 and has both the pace and the stature to 含む／封じ込める Messi. Whether the Argentina 今後 roams in a 企て，努力，提案 to 偉業／利用する the わずかにいっそう少なく保証するd Wes Brown or Patrice Evra remains to be seen but Ferdinand can do his part by の近くにing one door on the 20-year-old.

Take your chances: Messi will struggle against in-form Ferdinand

OWEN HARGREAVES v ANDRES INIESTA

After 存在調書をとる／予約するd in the first 脚, Hargreaves knows he 直面するs 存在 banned for the final if he is 警告を与えるd at Old Trafford. He is 始める，決める to be 危険d after starting on the （法廷の）裁判 at Stamford 橋（渡しをする）, with 部隊d aware his destructive 能力s are ideally ふさわしい to 反対するing the enviable array of attacking talent at Barca's 処分.

The summer 調印 from Bayern Munich is likely to be （軍隊を）展開する，配備するd to 茎・取り除く the flow of 所有／入手 to and from Iniesta, who is a 重要な人物／姿／数字 in Barca's system but is いつかs overlooked in deference to his much-hyped team-mates. However, Iniesta himself must be watchful of Hargreaves' 時折の bursts 今後同様に as the 脅し he 提起する／ポーズをとるs from の近くに-範囲解放する／自由な-kicks.

行き詰まらせる? Hargreaves and Iniesta will 支配（する）／統制する midfield

CRISTIANO RONALDO v ERIC ABIDAL

After 保持するing his PFA Player of the Year 栄冠を与える on Sunday night, Ronaldo has an 適切な時期 to 証明する himself worthy of the tag against Barca. He 公約するd to 得点する／非難する／２０ at Old Trafford after his 早期に刑罰，罰則 howler at the Nou （軍の）野営地，陣営 and few would 支援する against him 追加するing to his incredible 38-goal 一致する this season.

The Portugal 星／主役にする played as a 孤独な striker in the first 脚 and it is yet to be seen if 逆戻りするs to a wider 役割 for the return. Of course, he has licence to roam in any 事例／患者, but if Abidal can shore up Barca's left 味方する it will 封鎖する the 23-year-old's 選択s and 減ずる his chances of making a match-winning 出資／貢献. But after a 不安定な season at the Nou （軍の）野営地，陣営, the French defender will have to put in one of his better 業績／成果s to come out on 最高の，を越す.
