Report (vs Roma): This was supposed to be the highlight of the trip and I was not to be disappointed. Arrived at Old Trafford around 6.15 and there was a massive police presence. I was not aware of the trouble that had occured before I arrived but I have to say there was a tense feeling and something uncomfortable about the siuation. There was a stand-off between the two sets of fans and after taking some pictures of the Roma fans. I didn´t want to take any chances and left for my seat int NW quadrant. The atmosphere inside Old Trafford was amazing this must have been one THE European nights at Old Trafford (best atmosphere since United-Barcelona in 1984?) . 7-1 is not supposed to happen in a quarter final in the Champions League and when I am writing this from home it is hard to believe I experienced what I did yesterday. A night to remember and a fantastic climax to my trip to England !
