Manchester United are through to the semi-finals of the European Cup again thanks to a brilliant goal from Cristiano Ronaldo against Porto.

Dimitar Berbatov believes playing against another English side will make it different for us, although is confident of us progressing.

“The Arsenal games are going to be great for everybody to watch and I know it is going to be difficult,” said Berbatov. “They are a great team. But we are Manchester United, so I think we are going to win. We are determined to defend this trophy and the fact we now have to face another English team makes it a little bit different. But we should still be confident.”

Berbatov was complimentary of his team mates, hailing Ronaldo special and our defence incredible.

“It was a very special goal,” Berbatov added. “Cristiano gives everything he can in every game. Sometimes you need a special player to do something out of the ordinary. Cristiano delivered. Our defence is incredible. They have been tremendous for us all season and deserve so much credit for their performances. The major reason we are in the position we are at the moment is because of our defenders and I want to thank them.”
