both teams went into the semi-final first leg with identical records in this season's champions league, each having won eight games and drawn two, while scoring 18 goals and conceding five. united were awarded a penalty three minutes into the game, after gabriel milito handled cristiano ronaldo's header from a corner. ronaldo himself stepped up to take the kick, but, despite sending víctor valdés the wrong way, smacked his shot against the post. the missed penalty seemed to give barcelona the extra impetus they needed, and they began to take control of the game. just before the half-hour, ronaldo made a break into the barça penalty area, only to be bodychecked by rafael márquez, who made no attempt to get to the ball. rightfully expecting another penalty to be awarded, the look of dismay on ronaldo's face was justified when he saw referee massimo busacca wave play on. márquez fouled ronaldo again just before half time, this time about 25 yards from goal. márquez was shown a yellow card for his trouble, which meant he was ineligible for the second leg on 29 april, but ronaldo saw his resulting free kick go just a yard wide of the far post. a number of saves from van der sar and a michael carrick block kept barcelona at bay, while carrick himself came close to scoring at the other end, rippling the side-netting after making space for himself on the left side of the penalty area. the match finished as a scoreless draw, with barcelona having had the better of the possession, but with the second leg being played at old trafford, united had every reason to be confident.
