Champions League: Real pain for Fergie

Sir Alex Ferguson might be asking what he must do to win the Champions League, the first answer being playing with eleven men against Real Madrid; the second would be to have players with the qualities of Lukas Modric and Cristiano Ronaldo, two match-winners for Mourinho's Real.

In the other game, Dortmund buried Shakhtar Donetsk 3-0 and go through 5-2 on aggregate.
