A UEFA spokesman says the governing body has "no issues" with Nani's red card against Real Madrid on Tuesday night.Manchester
United were leading their Champions league last-16 tie 2-1 on aggregate
when Nani caught Alvaro Arbeloa with a high foot and was sent off by
referee Cuneyt Cakir.Real went on to win 2-1 on the night and
progress to the quarter-finals, and the outcome left Sir Alex Ferguson
so "distraught" he delegated his post-match media duties to assistant
Mike Phelan.
Manchester City midfielder Javi Garcia
has said he believes the Premier League champions can retain their
title despite being 12 points adrift of Manchester United.Roberto
Mancini's men overturned an eight-point deficit to beat their city
rivals to the crown on the final day of last season, and the Spain
international says there is no reason why history should not repeat
itself.
Javier Mascherano says that he is confident of Barcelona returning to winning ways after losing three of their last four games.Tito
Villanova's side suffered back-to-back defeats to rivals Real Madrid

weeks ago.They still remain 11 points clear at the top of La Liga, but Mascherano has admitted there is still a lot of work to be done.He told AS: "Three weeks ago it seemed like this was a Disney film but now it feels like a horror show.
