What a night! Everything that had been missing this season in terms of passion, teamwork, effort, and with the fans, a positive atmosphere, it all came flooding back in those 90 minutes. De Gea was excellent, Rooney was tireless, Valencia brought his A-game, Giggs rolled back the years. Yes, it was only Olympiakos, and yes there are still some issues, but that far exceeded my expectations.
The only problem now is that we're in with the elite and almost any draw could spell disaster unless they give the same as last night and then some.
Yes, Atletico are no pushovers, they're right up there in La Liga. I just think over the two legs, Barca will have enough to see them through. Two legs against Real Madrid or Bayern might be a different story.
