Nope, I'm not claiming we have either. Which is why you have to be happy with todays performance. We've not been playing well, we're up against a physical side in some terrible conditions... and we've gone out there, got the basics right, been extremely solid and built a win up from there. We have done well today, for the first time since Madrid, and have totally controlled this game of football... and restricted Stoke to shooting from distance.We haven't really actually played well since Real though have we..
If people are seriously expecting us to produce some free-flowing amazing football today, they need to rethink they're expectations. It was a very good, and important win.
