Having booked a berth in this season’s Champions League final in
Rome, the Reds are on course to make good on a pledge made at the
end of last season.
For a player and a team that achieves so much, finding new
challenges can be difficult. But almost as soon as last year’s
final in Moscow had swung in United’s favour, the Reds’ sights were
set on becoming the first side in 20 years to successfully defend
the trophy.
“We said last year we wanted to defend it (the Champions
League), give it a big shot and that’s what we’ve done,” Giggs told
MUTV.
“We came out tonight and produced an unbelievable
performance.
“We knew we’d get chances because this team creates them, it’s
just about putting them away. We did and that put the pressure
right back on Arsenal, knowing they had to score three goals. That
left gaps at the back for us to score more, and that’s what
happened.”
United now have four games to seal the Barclays Premier League
title before attentions can switch to Rome, and Giggs admits the
players are relishing such high stakes.
“This is what we want,” he said. “At this part of the season, we
want to win big games.
“We’ve got another one on Sunday against City. We’re in the
final now and we can concentrate on the Premier League.”
