We’ve kicked off in the UEFA Champions League game between Manchester United and Chelsea, and the teams have indeed started the game in what appear to be 4-4-2 formations with Ryan Giggs in the center of midfield for United, though Chelsea might be going with a more narrow midfield than some first predicted. Ramires is playing inside a bit instead of as a true wide player, and it will be interesting to see how that develops over the course of the game.

Chelsea got aggressive early in the match and created a decent chance for Fernando Torres, though Jose Bosingwa’s cross was expertly intercepted by Rio Ferdinand, who got fit just in time for the match.
Wayne Rooney went down hard in the second minute of the match, and he appeared to be in a great deal of pain, but it looks like he will be fine. Despite the fact that Rooney took a very long time to get up, his team made the decision to play on and attack while he was down on the ground.
