Just a clear reminder.
United have been played off the fucking park by Barcelona in the last couple of years, to the point of embarrassment.
Arsenal, twice now, also humiliated over at the Nou Camp.
It's a case of hanging on in there, riding your luck, as we managed to do last night.
There are certainly areas for concern for me, however.
The signing of Maicon scares me if I'm honest, no doubting his pedigree, but reminds me of the Silvinho purchase.
And Barry, much as he is tremendous squad asset, certainly in the Premier League, he continues to tread water at this level.
Not too much has been made of it, especially as Bezema showed excellent technique for his goal, but Barry is at fault for being by-passed in the approach.
As for Nastasic, wow, I think we have found something very special indeed.
Might want to play the ball too often, but such a lack of fear, and Lescott has every right to be worried.
At no stage last night was I thinking here was a 19-year-old kid up against Real Madrid, making his debut.
Kompany and Nasri have me more nightmares. Felt a little sorry for Silva, showed some excellent ball retention and was clearly up for it towards end of first half.
