Man Utd 1 Lille 0
"HENRIK LARSSON said farewell to the Old Trafford faithful in style."
Larsson’s 72nd-minute winner confirmed Manchester United’s place in the last eight of the Champions League.
The Swede's goal was priceless as he leapt to the skies to power home a header, from the cross of Cristano Ronaldo.
When the Swedish veteran was subbed just moments after his 72nd-minute winner, the whole of the ground rose in acclaim – knowing this would be the last act at Old Trafford.
In nine starts, plus three as sub, the striker has scored three goals in three different competitions. His all-round play cannot be measured in such statistics but has been equally priceless. It has been that of a veteran schooled in all the fine arts of this game.
Larsson’s last match now for United will come in Saturday’s FA Cup quarter-final at Middlesbrough.
