What an awe-inspiring performance that was last night by Manchester United after their 7-1 thrashing of Roma in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-final. Who could have predicted such an outcome?
Giggs played one of the best games of his life with unbelievable vision on the pitch that led to inch-perfect passes that completely ripped Roma apart. In fact, you can go through the entire squad and single out many heroic performances. But again, it was the interplay between Man United on the pitch and their amazing determination to put this match out of Roma’s reach that was astounding to watch.
At four nil up in the first half, the majority of club sides in the world would have taken their pedal off the gas and made some substitutions and rested players. But not Man United, who seemed like they wanted to provide a message to the world. For the remainder of the Champions League, and Premiership, teams will now fear Man United even more than they did before.
Tonight was a magic night and Alex Ferguson and his side has to be congratulated. So too does the Old Trafford crowd who were the loudest I’ve heared them in quite some time at the historic stadium. After all, if you can’t be that passionate while winning 7-1, when would you ever be?
