da dobrowin: Manchester United striker Robin van Persie believes that his side’s 1-1 draw away to Real Madrid in the Champions League has given them the edge in the tie.

da aposte e ganhe: The Red Devils took the lead in at the Bernabeu through Danny Welbeck, but were pegged back by former hero Cristiano Ronaldo.

After netting what could be a vital away goal, van Persie feels that United have moved ahead in the race for a spot in the quarter-finals, but he also insisted that there is plenty of work left to do:

“Slightly.” He responded when asked by Sky Sports if the result has put them on top in the tie:

“But at this level I don’t think these kinds of teams really care whether they are home or away.

“We don’t really care and they don’t really care. It’s just half-time now and we’ll be ready for the second half.

“There were chances for both sides and it was a great game to watch,”

The Dutchman had a few opportunities to hand the Premier League leaders a shock win in Spain, but was unable to convert.

He admitted that he was frustrated at being incapable of giving his side a shock aggregate lead, but that the result is still a positive one:

“We had a couple of good chances but if you had said before the game we would draw 1-1 then most of us would have taken it.”

Welbeck headed a Wayne Rooney corner past Diego Lopez to give United the lead on 20 minutes, but Ronaldo netted shortly after to level the scores.
