I played the 121% team and I knocked him out, I can’t believe I had pulled it off, but it was by the away goals rule that saved me, the first time that rule has worked in my favour, I decided to change my formation just after the game started in an attempt to be subtle, I changed it to 3-3-4 and it seemed to do really well against him.
Benítez again was Man of the Match setting up both goals, I knew being optimistic about the second leg would help, and I knew the two away goals would be crucial for me.
He was the strongest team left in the competition too, with that, I believe I can beat any other team that is left now.
We were so close to going out too as his player took a shot that went over the bar in the last animation of the match, had hr scored, I was out of the CL.
We dominated that game and I believe I deserved to go through.
I appreciate the support in those last two matches, that helped a lot.
Something I do remember at the start of the season was complaining about drawing this guy in my Champions League, l really would never have thought that two weeks later, I’d be the one knocking him out of the competition.
My season has been wonderful, I have 28 wins out of 31 games, I know it isn’t the best compared to some people here but considering the fact that I thought this would be a terrible season and one of my worst ever ones I have done well, I have been proved wrong so far, which I’m pleased about, however, I won’t jinx it as I still have some very tough matches, I am curious where I will finish.
Benítez, of course has been my best player scoring 51 times and setting up 41 goals in 31 matches, which is nearly an average pf 3 goal contributions per game.
