Opinion: We're overdue a special night

I was fortunate enough to be in Turin and Paris this season to witness victories that, while against the odds, should provide the fuel for further heroics against Barcelona.

Such victories on our travels should mean nobody is complaining about the fact the draw with the Spanish leaders was switched due to Manchester City also being at home this week. Yet, first and foremost, it is abundantly clear that we need to do our job in this leg.

There was nothing in the first half of the Old Trafford game against Paris Saint-Germain but a couple of key injuries took their toll and, in the end, it is fair to say the French side ran out comfortable victors – particularly after Paul Pogba was sent off.
