Two special competitions in one week. As for Europe, you can't begin without mentioning Ryan Giggs, superstar-centenarian. He's in good company, being one of only eight players to have reached the century mark in Europe’s top club competition. And he went about it with the same intensity and confidence that's put him on the world football map. That and his "I will eat your young" eyes.
The game itself saw Lyon quick off the ball and United's defense shaky at best. Although van der Sar made some nice saves, the midfield seemed to lose sight of its passing and played on its heels. Then Sir Alex had the wisdom to make key substitutions in the second half. Old blood out, new blood in. Namely putting Carlos Tevez upfront and on point.
Once he put the ball in the back of the net one seemed to care about Rooney's sluggish (tired really) perfor
mance, Ronaldo's laser beam issue, and Olympic Mayonnaise altogether. So bask in the victory (& away tie) - who knows, it may even last a while. Unless of course Kevin Keegan and Newcastle try and stop it. Right.
