Manchester United were knocked out of the Champions League in controversial circumstances on Tuesday night with Real Madrid going through to the quarter finals 3-2 on aggregate, but only after Nani was sent off for a high kick on defender Arbeloa.
With United leading the tie 2-1 on aggregate, the Portuguese winger was given his marching orders for catching Arbeloa with a high boot early in the second half. Madrid went on to win the game 2-1, 3-2 on aggregate, but the big talking point after the game centred on Nani’s sending off. (You can watch all the goals here)
