Ferguson: Lopez saved Madrid

Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has insisted that goalkeeper Diego Lopez saved Real Madrid last Tuesday.

Los Blancos defeated the Premier League side 2-1 in their Champions League last 16 tie, with the former Sevilla man making a series of fantastic stops.

And the Scottish Coach has claimed that Jose Mourinho's men would have lost were it not for their shot-stopper.

“Diego Lopez saved them,” he told the club's official website. “The saves from Welbeck, Van Persie, Vidic, kept them in it.”
