JOAQUIN ROLLS BACK THE YEARS

AGE number Joaquin, played is in just for who the a 2002 World Spain. Cup The for 41year-old captained Real Betis and was everywhere, playing the No 10 role — as you can see from his touch map (left).

It was his 18th game of the season. The Spaniard started his professional career in 1999 — the same year that United won the treble under Sir Alex Ferguson.

HATS off to Antony, the man rarely scores an ordinary goal. His seventh since making a £82million move to Old Trafford in the summer restored United’s lead after Real Betis had threatened to make life very difficult. It was a trademark effort, cutting in from the right flank to curl the ball in with his left foot. Opponents know what the Brazilian is going to do now, but stopping him is another matter.
