Newly promoted team, eight players missing, two goalkeepers on the bench, against possibly the best side in the world, who broke the Premier League points record last season, equalled the FA Cup final highest score and were on a run of 17 wins and one draw in 18 league games before Saturday.
I was scared s**tless on Saturday morning and *expected* us to lose by at least four goals. I told my kids I wouldn't feel embarrassed if we lost 6-0, simply because of how good they are. I've never felt like that before about any game in my life.
As for Bayern, their team contained the captains at the time of Germany, Brazil and Holland; went on to win the Bundesliga title that season and then reached the Champions League semi-finals the following year.
So they were ok :)
