63 mins: Berbatov is about to come on. Are United going to throw everything at Barcelona for the last 25 minutes?

61 mins: Paul Scholes is warming up. Rooney is getting more room on the right and he's got the beating of Sylvinho.

57 mins: United are so worried by Barcelona's attacking threat that they are defending too deep. Guardiola applauds his players from the touchline as Barcelona continue to make the running. 1-0 is the most common scoreline in European Cup finals. Great.

55 mins: United's first chance of the second half. Rooney crosses from the right, but the bounce of the ball beats Park at the far post.

52 mins: Barcelona hit the post. Xavi takes a free kick from the edge of the penalty area and a post saves United. Ferguson has taken a massive gamble by switching to 4-4-2 and Barcelona are looking even more dangeous now that they are getting more time on the ball. Barcelona's defence was supposed to be dodgy, but Puyol and Co have hardly put a foot wrong so far.

48 mins: Henry turns Ferdinand inside out and only a crucial save by Van der Sar keeps United in the game.

46 mins: Tevez is coming on for Anderson. Giggs is moving into the middle alongside Carrick, Rooney is moving onto the right - his third position of the night - and Park is switching to the left.

45 mins: HALF-TIME Barcelona 1 United 0 Let's hope Fergie remembered to pack his hairdryer.

40 mins: United attack but Park falls over - that just sums up the past half hour as far as United are concerned. Messi is playing deep and in the middle and that's causing United all sorts of problems. Giggs has moved onto the left wing and Rooney is trying his luck through the middle.

35 mins: United are missing Darren Fletcher. It's Giggs, Carrick and Anderson versus Xavi, Busquets and Iniesta in midfield and the Barcelona players are coming out on top. The crowd are quiet and that's doing nothing for United's confidence. It's men against boys at the moment and the boys are wearing white.

30 mins: United have still not recovered from conceding a goal. Messi is giving Vidic a hard time and United are chasing shadows. Rooney is getting nothing out of Puyol and Barcelona are getting too much time on the ball. When is it going to be Tevez time?

24 mins: Barcelona are controlling the game and Fergie is looking worried on the United bench. Free-kick to Barcelona 25 yards out after Anderson fouls Iniesta. Xavi's strike just misses the crossbar.
