Giggs wants spirit of Roma thrashing
Manchester United great Ryan Giggs has called on his teammates to evoke the spirit that saw them destroy Roma three years ago in Tuesday’s Champions League clash with Bayern Munich. In 2006-07 United returned from the away leg 2-1 down and staring at a last-eight Champions League exit. But Giggs and co produced a master-class in the return at Old Trafford to wipe the Italians 7-1 in the return. The Red Devils lost 2-1 to Bayern in a quarterfinal first leg last week. "Trying to achieve that same atmosphere is what we want to do. It just shows what can come if you play well,” commented Giggs on Tuesday. "The crowd get behind you, you're keeping the ball and you're constantly attacking. We've seen so many great nights and hopefully this can be another one.”
