Love him or hate him, Wayne Rooney is undoubtedly one of the most talented players of our generation and at 27, has more than enough experienced to be unfazed by a game of this magnitude. Wazza loves the big occasions, and has proved more than enough times that when Europe comes calling, he is the man to answer the call. Expect a tense opening in tomorrows first leg, before an explosion from the adopted Manc opens the scoring and silences the great Bernabeu. Rooney is the highest scoring British player in Champions League history, with 27 goals, and interestingly, 14 of those have come in the knockout stages, giving him a rate of 52%. This rate is higher than Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and his new partner in crime, Van Persie, making him a force to be reckoned with. Madrid know all about his qualities and he is the one player Mourinho fears above all, so expect the Scouse lad to blast this tie in to motion.
