Photos Of Manchester United's Trip To London For F.A Cup Clash

Roll up: Robin van Persie and his Manchester United team-mates took the journey to London



Manchester United kept their season on track on Easter Sunday by taking the train down to London ahead of their FA Cup quarter-final showdown against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge — but Robin van Persie says it will not be a great game of football because the side are too exhausted by their schedule. 
The United squad boarded the train from Piccadilly and Wilmslow stations to London Euston and will stay the night in London before tomorrow’s 12.30 kick-off. 
Rio Ferdinand appeared to have shaken off the back injury that controversially prevented him from playing for England in their two  World Cup qualifiers during the international break and boarded the  train with the rest of the squad.More photos below

Messi Creates History As Barca Draw At Celta

Lionel Messi scored his 19th consecutive league goal on Saturday setting another La Liga record as Barcelona drew 2-2 at relegation-threatened Celta Vigo.
The Argentine's 73rd minute strike -- his 29th in 19 league matches -- makes him the first player in the history of Spanish football to score against every other league opponent in succession.
"It is a unheard of record that no one has ever achieved. This shows how great this player is," said Barcelona assistant coach Jordi Roura.
Messi's second-half strike gave the Catalans the lead for the first time in the match, after they had gone behind to a Natxo Insa goal in the 38th minute.
The visitors were back on level terms five minutes later thanks to a Cristian Tello strike and when Messi slotted home with 17 minutes remaining Barcelona looked odds-on for all three points.
But the home side had other ideas and with two minutes remaining found an equalizer through Borja Oubina.
Real Madrid failed to capitalize on their rivals slip up, drawing 1-1 at Zaragoza.
