Pique: Emotional Return

Manchester United defender Gerard Pique says it will be an emotional return for him ahead of their Champions League semifinal against Barcelona.

Pique said: "It means a lot to go back. It will be a great feeling as I grew up there.

"Barcelona are one of the best teams in Europe but we have a good chance. Everyone at United is playing really well and we hope to progress. It is very easy to play in this team because everyone knows their role. It is enjoyable as well."

A goal from Carlos Tevez put the match out of Roma's reach and Pique added: "We created a number of chances and played really well.

"We knew if Roma got a goal they would get back in the match but instead we scored and got the victory so that was pleasing."
