HOLY CRAP! Lost a bet with a friend of mine, so I had to use Leeds in the CL on Top Player.
Had Panathinaikos in the knock out stage. Drew first game 1-1, then won 2-0 in the second leg.
Had Lyon in the Quarter-Finals. Knicked a goal and held firm for a 1-0 aggregate win.
Then the REAL test came.
Real Madrid in the semis. Lost first leg 1-0 at home. Here's the kicker. Second leg, Beckford is on a blue arrow so he can't play. Becchio + Grella up front. First goal came from Kilkenny off a corner. Beat Iker with a header from the front post. Had trouble containing Cristiano and he got a shot or two in but Ankergren was up for it. 70th minute and Becchio scores a diving header off a wonderful cross from Snodgrass.
I advance 2-1 on aggregate.
The final. Italian giants AC Milan stood in the way of me (and Leeds) of CL immortality.
I dominated right from the first whistle. But I came up against a red arrow Dida and he stoned me about 3 times in the first half, and about 7 times in the second. I kept possession of the ball through most of the game, not letting Pato burn me with his pace. Then a moment of magic from Snodgrass. Steals the ball from Zambrotta, runs a give and go with Becchio, who back heels to Beckford who finishes from 19 yards out.
1-0. CL champs. (Sorry Don)
BTW, I had trouble with defense in the Finals. Ankergren and Higgs were on blue arrows, and I had to play Johnson I think it was at right back. He almost cost me. Out paced by 'Dinho, who slips it to Huntelaar, and from about 7 yards out, he is stoned by Ankergren.
Magic moments these.
