It was easier for Manchester United to rally round Cristiano Ronaldo than for Liverpool to form a protective cordon around John Arne Riise, writes Tim Rich.

If Cristiano Ronaldo’s missed penalty cost him any sleep on Wednesday night, then he did not betray any signs of it. “I’m always confident,” he said. “I’ve 38 goals this season so it’s not a problem if you miss one or two. I’ve scored 16 or 17 penalties since joining United and I’ve missed two. If I get another penalty in Manchester I’ll score. I have confidence in my own ability.”

On his home turf at Old Trafford, Cristiano Ronaldo may look like the player he is supposed to be when the requirement is of the highest class, and the most natural-born commitment, and United may get more of a touch of the ball. Meanwhile, though, Sir Alex Ferguson is entitled to wonder whether the team on the verge of a Champions League and Premier League double have the decisive and defining quality of his boys of ‘99.
