Where was the luck in the CL run? I can only think of the 3-0 comeback.

Packed with quality is not how a lot of United fans would of deemed the side back then xD. Ronaldo was still a raw talent. Silvestre at centre back. Two useless keepers in Howard and Carroll. Two widely deemed, harshly imo, flops in Djemba - Djemba (so good they named him twice) and Kleberson. We had lot's of issues back then. We were miles from Mourinho's Chelsea. Also just remembered Kieran Richardson. Played him at flippin' left back sometimes.

And I wouldn't really deem coming back luck, unless you gain some kind of advantage which shouldn't of been (offside goal or a penalty that wasn't for example).
Anywho, what I was referring to was the 'ghost goal', Luis Garcia in the semi final. And that penalty shoot out in the final was so poorly reffed. Dudek was way infront of his line before the ball had even been taken. Was a total joke.



Goal, smallest man on the pitch. SMH.
