One of the best nights of my life. Lovely Wife (CFC supporter for almost 40 years) went mental - running around on the patio screaming like a loon (she had gone outside as she couldn't bear to watch Didier take THE penalty!). Great night!
My Spuds supporting brother was totally *issed as we 'dumped' them out of the CL at the same time - ooops; that sounds a bit familiar too! CFC = Spuds Nemesis! Haha.
I can't say we got much credit from the media for that win - was thinking about this last night watching the match. Athletico play a deep lying defence and spring fast counters and it is wonderful according to the pundits and commentators. Chelsea did this with Barcelona and Bayern during that magic CL campaign and we were 'anti-football'.
I should be used to these double standards by now tbh!
