Two clubs chasing UEFA Champions League glory will do battle today in a cup match between Manchester United and Bayern Munich. The quarterfinal clash scheduled for 2:45 p.m. ET will be held at Old Trafford Stadium in Manchester and can be live streamed here.
For Manchester United, today's confrontation against Bayern Munich will serve as the club's biggest test of the season. The reigning European champions are on a mission to finish their historic run, but United manager David Moyes relishes this opportunity to be in the way of it (h/t to Manchester United's official website). "It's been a very good competition for us so far in my short time here," Moyes told a press conference on Monday. "I came into it very inexperienced in the Champions League but we've done well and now we've got the ultimate test in Bayern Munich."
"I think the pressure is equally balanced because we want to win the game as much as they do. We go into the game knowing, on our day, we are as good a side as any. We have to show it more often but I have got great belief in the players," he added.
"I get the feeling all the players want to play. In training, their attitude suggests they all want to play in the big games. Over the years that is what they have all wanted to do."
