Whether you asked Manchester City fans or Manchester United supporters, no one could have predicted such a shocking start. After just 31st minutes, Manchester City were leading Manchester United 2–0 at Old Trafford!
Ronaldinho jogged toward the East Stand, where a sea of ecstatic City fans leapt to their feet, arms raised, cheering wildly.
The joy was almost indescribable.
"Two goals! Two goals—we're two up against Manchester United!" they roared.
City's players rushed toward him. Ronaldinho pointed at Zidane, and the two embraced, while Pires pumped his fists toward the stands, a clear declaration of City's dominance.
"Andy, are we dreaming?" Martin Tyler exclaimed. "The current leader of Premier League table, two goals down at home inside half an hour! Is this really Manchester United, or have the players swapped shirts?"
Andy Gray was equally stunned, his eyes drifting instinctively toward United's technical area.
