Manchester United 3 – 3 CSKA Moscow
MAN UTD qualified for the Champions League knock-out stages after coming from two goals down to draw with CSKA Moscow.
Ferguson’s team provided another night of pure theatre. No team play with such ambition, confidence and purpose when the chips are down and, at 3-1 behind with only six minutes left, they were certainly down. From that perspective, United remain box office.
