The atmosphere in the stadium last night was immense. The place was jumping, especially towards the end when it looked like we'd be going through.
I didn't think we played that well though to be fair. Barca looked dangerous when they attacked as we just sat off them and didn't push up and they could easily have scored at any time and we would've been fucked. Nobody could get near Messi, it was just lucky that he couldn't find the killer ball, otherwise we'd all be here wondering what could've been!
I thought Nani was awful again, as he has been the last couple of months. I was suprised he started after how he played against Chelsea, but he's young and has got a lot to learn.
Ronaldo wasn't up to much either in my eyes. I didn't have the benefit of action replays etc but it seemed to me Zambrotta had his card marked when he moved out wide and he just couldn't beat him. He hardly won a header all night either which he usually does. I hate to say it but I really do think he gets nervous against the big teams in important matches.
I've gotta say Tevez was immense. He didn't stop running and tackling all night and was getting the crowd going. He wasn't giving the ball away cheaply either like some of the other lads so credit there too.
Great result, just need to start perfoming how we were a few months ago now otherwise we'll get beat by the chavs/scousers and have untold amount of abuse for months to come.
