Know exactly what you mean. I was convinced we'd get through once we scored. We weren't a side who shipped Manu goals. I can remember not saying a word from the final whistle, leaving the pub and driving home with my brother. Took a while to get over that one. 2005 definitely helped.
Worth saying what a decent side Leverkeusen had then. Ballack, Ze Roberto, Basturk, Berbatov, Lucio...couple of good German centre backs who's names escape me. Think they finished runners up in three competitions didn't they?
yeah they were a very underrated team indeed. in the final week of the season i think they lost the german title, the german cup and champions league final
once the draw was made in 2005 i was hoping we would murder them and we did.
