It had started as one of those weeks when the topics for discussion were arriving thick and fast.
Manchester United and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer had dominated my thoughts early in the week after their fantastic derby victory.
Then Liverpool came to the fore. They threw everything at Atletico Madrid in an attempt to stay in the Champions League and they had played as well as I have seen in a long time.
It was a brilliant game but I knew how difficult it was going to be with Diego Simeone in the opposite dugout.
