Ronaldo vows to make amends

Manchester United striker Cristiano Ronaldo has vowed to make up for the penalty miss that denied his side a crucial away goal at the Nou Camp.

The Champions League semi-final against Barcelona is finely balanced after a 0-0 draw in the first leg in Spain.

Ronaldo fired high and wide from the spot, but after the game insisted that he didn't change his penalty technique, saying: "I didn't change. I scored a few penalties in that side but today I didn't score - no problem. Now I'm going to score in Manchester."

Ronaldo added: "It was a tough game. Barcelona played very well, they kept the ball a lot. But I think we defended well, we played well as well; 0-0 is a good result."

Meanwhile Sir Alex Ferguson has promised that United will go for broke next Tuesday at Old Trafford in search of a Champions League final place.

Asked if his side would be more aggressive in the return match, Ferguson said: "Absolutely, no question about that."

He added: "The game now starts at Old Trafford - it's the deciding game.

"A scoring draw and we're out, a loss and we're out, but the big bonus is that if we win we are through to the final."

"At Old Trafford, with the atmosphere, it will be quite different to this game.

Ferguson revealed that Nemanja Vidic is likely to miss the Premier League title showdown with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Saturday.

The defender received hospital treatment for a stomach problem and was forced to miss the match in Spain.
