Milestones for veterans
Posted on February 21, 2008 Filed Under Headlines
On a night when two veterans reached significant milestones, it was two younger players who stole the headlines with their goalscoring prowess.
Ryan Giggs struggled to inspire United on his 100th UEFA Champions League appearance, and when the visitors did succeed in breaking through Lyon’s determined defence, they were invariably denied by a commanding Grégory Coupet!
Grégory was playing his 500th match for the club!!! *damn*
United never gave up, however, and will be confident of progressing at Old Trafford in a fortnight, when Lyon will be without the suspended Anthony Réveillère.
