Stunning wasn't it ? Nice quote from Ranieri about it:

"Gianfranco tries everything because he is a wizard and the wizard must try."

I was watching it in an Irish Pub in Amsterdam, with a Scottish friend. He was ripping the piss at us getting murdered but when that one went in, we just both looked in awe, gave a round of applause, and wondered who would have stood a chance against them that day.
