Manchester United 1-0 AS Roma (United win 3-0 on agg): Manchester United progressed to a Champions League semi-final meeting with Barcelona after they beat Roma 1-0 on the night, 3-0 on aggregate.

Alex Ferguson's side had to survive a major scare in the first-half when Daniele De Rossi blasted a penalty high over the bar, but the Premier League champions moved through to the last four with relative ease, especially after Carlos Tevez headed them into a 1-0 lead on the night in the 70th minute, increasing their aggregate advantage to 3-0.

With Sunday's visit of Arsenal in mind, a much-changed United started positively and could have put the tie beyond the Romans before the ten-minute mark.

Park Ji Sung dragged wide in the sixth minute before Carlos Tevez miscued a header wide a minute later. Wes Brown was also off-target with a free-header from Ryan Giggs' corner before the Welshman put Owen Hargreaves through on goal in the tenth minute. Goalkeeper Doni was up to the task though, making a fine block as the England midfielder attempted to chip home.

Mirko Vucinic had the visitors' first chance when his angled drive was blocked by Edwin van der Sar before Mancini's low effort from outside the box was also saved by the Dutch stopper.

Hargreaves was in fine form and he provided the ammunition from the right-hand side for both Giggs and Anderson, who both drew fine saves from Doni but United were stunned in the 29th minute when Roma were awarded their penalty.

Mancini ran at Brown in the United box before the England full-back slid in with a challenge, seemingly winning the ball cleanly. The referee, who had a perfect view of tackle, thought otherwise and awarded Roma a spot-kick.

Justice was done however when De Rossi blasted high over the bar into the Stretford End, much to United's relief.

Marco Cassetti was inches away from pouncing on a rebound after Van der Sar had fumbled Vucinic's long-range shot early in the second half before Mikael Silvestre, on his return from a serious knee injury, made a fine block from Taddei's goal-bound shot as Luciano Spalletti's side looked to give themselves a lifeline.

The tie was over though in the 70th minute when Tevez headed United in front.

Hargreaves, who had provided several wonderful crosses throughout the night, delivered again from the right, and Tevez stooped to head past Doni to ensure United's passage through to the semi-finals.

With progression assured, Ferguson took the chance to hand Gary Neville a comeback from the ankle injury which has kept him out for the last 13 months. The United skipper took back the armband for the last ten minutes as the Red Devils saw out their record 11th-consecutive Champions League victory.

Barcelona claimed their place in the semis after a goal from midfielder Yaya Toure gave them a nervy 1-0 win over Schalke 04 at the Nou Camp.
   
Barca, 1-0 up after the first leg in Gelsenkirchen, were put under severe pressure in the opening half hour, but the Schalke storm blew itself out just before halftime and the Catalans were gifted a goal after a series of mishaps in the German defence.
   
Toure scuffed the ball in from close range in the 43rd minute after a Bojan Krkic cross from the right had ballooned off the foot of a defender and was then headed off the line.
   
The goal steadied the Catalans and although there were sporadic threats from Schalke in the second half they shut the Germans out to gain a victory that will help placate their discontented fans who have been protesting about their poor form in the league.
