Tumshie 205 Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 One that sticks out for me was when we beat Monaco 1-0 away in the Champions League. Tugay was absolutely immense playing as a sweeper and Gio scored a cracker from the outside of the box,We should have got through that Champions League group without any problem.

simplythebest 11,453 Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Not a victory but I thought the 2-2 draw in Auxerre after being behind twice was pretty impressive, one of Le Guen's best games Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nelsonRFC82 305 Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 The Parma game was an outstanding result. OK, Cannavaro got sent off but still a fantastic scalp.Aye, he got sent off because Mols had absolutely roasted him for the entire first half and he had no answer but to foul him!One that stood out for me was in Advocaat's first year, we beat Leverkusen home & away. Pretty sure they were going quite well in Bundesliga at the time, had players like Ballack, Ze Roberto, Kovac and to be honest any victory in Germany can generally be considered a decent achievement.I remember watching the second leg on German TV while listening to radio. The radio commentary was a second or so ahead of TV pictures so the commentators announced Johansson goal before he hit the shot! It was a sort of stuttered celebration as you were not sure whether to go crazy until you actually see the goal!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TravelingWilBEARy 4,319 Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 I always thought the draw we got in Marseille never really got the credit it deserved because it wasn't enough in the end to qualify for the final. It was still a fantastic result against probably the best team I've seen us play.Another was knocking out that PSG team on penalties. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLawMan 6,240 Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 PSV 0 Gers 1 - AlbertzPSV had built a decent reputation especially at home, and we only had 1 point from our opening 2 games. Going over there and winning was some achievement then hammering them at Ibrox was even better. I drove to Eindhoven for that game. Brilliant trip PS - to this day i still believe if Mols hadnt got injured in Munich, we would have went through and onto better things. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TravelingWilBEARy 4,319 Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Also Lyngby from that 92 run. Danish champions and Denmark had just won Euro 92.They had about 3 one-on-one's at Ibrox and dominated the whole game in the 2nd leg. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmcf 34,303 Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Two for me in the same season - Juventus and Einhoven in 1978-9. If I member right Juventus had 8 players that were with Italy in the World Cup a few months previously . Players like Zoff , Bettega , Cabrini , Tardelli , Causio , Scirea and Bennetti. Think they got to semis but do know they beat hosts and eventual winners Argentina in group stages. And to beat them in the European Cup was special. PSV also had a few that got to the final with Holland including Van Der Kerkoff brothers and Brandts. After drawing 0-0 at Ibrox , Rangers winning 3-2 in Eindhoven is still my favourite away win. We also gave Cologne a run for their money in the Quarter Finals before going down 2-1 on aggregate. All the more special because in those years it was the champions of these countries we were beating , and not like now when you can have four teams from one country competing.
