With Ronaldo on song everything is possible

I WRITE en route to Milan, with memories flooding back of the last trip I made to Italy for a European Cup semi-final.

Boy, was the atmosphere different that 1999 night. Those of us who braved the knifewielders of Turin went as condemned men, fearing the worst after Zidane and Davids had totally outplayed us at Old Trafford.

But Ryan Giggs had scored a late goal that first leg night which would prove to be a massive help as the miracle of the Stadio Delle Alpi unfolded with Roy Keane at his selflessly indomitable best.
