    I like the fact that Real Madrid reserves played in European competition after going to the cup final in Spain.

    Even crazier is that it was Real Madrid first team they played in the final.

    Martin O'Neill answered a question about this on twitter recently. Someone asked him how close we actually were to signing Rivaldo but O'Neill claimed it was never really that close.

    Aye it was never close by all accounts, but Rivaldo himself recalled that we (as well as Bolton) offered a trial, which he said surprised him, madness :giggle1:
