Cristiano Ronaldo missed a penalty kick in the first leg of the Champions League semi final at Nou Camp as Manchester United drew 0-0 with Barcelona.

Nani said “I had to comfort Cristiano in the changing room after the game as he was very down after missing the penalty.”

Nani went on to say that “He (Ronaldo) is a born winner and he’ll help us beat Barcelona and reach the final. All of us have given him encouragement. He’s been so instrumental for us all season and has won so many games for us”.

“We’ll be ready to knock them out at Old Trafford.”

Nani has been named in the Manchester United squad to face Blackburn at Ewood Park on Saturday. He has overcome a thigh injury and Sir Alex Ferguson says that he has a good chance of being involved.

Nani has been out of contention since picking up a thigh injury against Liverpool at Old Trafford last month.

The squad for the Blackburn game is : Van der Sar, Kuszczak, Foster, Brown, Neville, Ferdinand, Vidic, Pique, O’Shea, Evra, Silvestre, Ronaldo, Anderson, Scholes, Carrick, Hargreaves, Giggs, Park, Nani, Rooney, Tevez
