Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson says he cannot wait to take on Jose Mourinho's Real Madrid in their Champions League last 16 showdown.
Manchester United club secretary John Alexander said the meeting of the two European aristocrats is the pick of the ties. "It is the tie that everybody wanted to see, but nobody wanted to see - they wanted to save it for later in the competition," he said. "Out of several stand-out ties, I think this is the one, with the traditions of the two clubs in this competition and their past history. "If history has anything in our favour, our one victory against Real Madrid in this competition was in the year we won the final at Wembley."
