David Beckham was gracious in defeat after they lost 4-0 to Manchester United which effectively sent them out of the UEFA Champions League where he called Wayne Rooney as one of the world’s best players. Rooney scored 2 goals for The Devils to progress.

Beckham said ''He's such an exceptional talent. I think without a doubt he's one of the best, if not the best, player at the moment along with [Cristiano] Ronaldo and [Lionel] Messi. It was a disappointing night because we lost the game but returning here is always special. It was unbelievable. I have to say thank you. It was really incredible. It was nice to be back, a disappointing night but nice to be back.''
