Gimme 5: Goals in France

We recall five Champions League goals from the Reds across the channel...

From the left-hand side of the box, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer unleashes a superb, arcing strike high into the corner of the Lille net to earn a point for United.

Ruud van Nistelrooy adjusts well to head hom

e Cristiano Ronaldo's cross for his 29th European goal, breaking Denis Law's club record.

Ruud latches on to a mis-hit Ronaldo shot to bag his second in four minutes as United come from two behind on Matchday 1 in Lyon.

Quick-witted Ryan Giggs catches Lille keeper Tony Sylva napping with a quick free-kick from the edge of the box in this second-round tie.

Carlos Tevez smashes home a loose ball to hand the Reds a vital late away goal against Lyon in the first knockout round.

we mark United's trip to Marseille by showing five other Champions League goals by the Reds on French soil from the last decade...
