Scholes and Hargreaves recall Barça memories

Two players who know all about facing Barcelona in big games under the lights are Paul Scholes and Owen Hargreaves, who both featured in our famous 1-0 semi-final win over the Catalan giants, on the way to our 2008 Champions League success.

Scholes scored the superb winner that booked our place in the Moscow final that night, as we went onto claim our third European title against Chelsea, via a penalty shootout in the Russian rain.

Xavi, now boss of Spain's league leaders, faced off against the now 48-year-old that night, with the former United playmaker praising the level of talent Barca had at their disposal.
