The incredible thing about one of Manchester United s greatest European nights was that they only needed to win 1-0. Great games are usually won by eight players, Sir Alex Ferguson wrote in his autobiography about their 7-1 mauling of Roma. It can happen to you half a dozen times in your career that there are 11 players giving their all in a match. That game was one of those exceptions.
This truly was a match where his entire starting XI had standout performances.
