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 provided the assist in Man Utd’s Wednesday night win over Roma. They arrived in Manchester keen to avoid a similar fate to their last visit, in which they were beaten 7-1 in April. As a result, the Italians produced a far more sturdy performance, and the match was evenly contested.

However, on 70 mins Carrick found Nani and he cleverly played the ball through to Rooney who turned outside and found the net off the inside of the far post with a crisp 15-yard shot.
