Legends match | Nou Camp | Scorers: Dehu 90 | Blomqvist 14, Poborsky 57, Yorke 77
Manchester United's Legends produced a superb performance at the Nou Camp to defeat Barcelona 3-1 ahead of the return leg at Old Trafford in September.
Manager Andy Ritchie got his tactics spot on as a three-man defence somehow contained an attack containing Ronaldinho and Rivaldo, who were full of tricks, as goals by Jesper Blomqvist, Karel Poborsky and Dwight Yorke earned a comprehensive victory, despite Frederic Dehu's late consolation.
There was action from the outset as Poborsky got a lob all wrong, unlike at Euro 96 for Czech Republic, from Ji-sung Park's precise pass before Raimond van der Gouw handled outside his box, redeeming himself with an excellent diving save to claw away Ronaldinho's free-kick.
