7th Heaven!!!!!!!!

Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has hailed the 7-1 victory over Roma as the club's greatest European evening at Old Trafford.

The win gave United an 8-3 aggregate win and sent them into the Champions League semi-finals.

Seventh Heaven in Theatre of Dreams. Fergie's Boys Go Ultrasonic. Magnificent Seven. Wednesday's headlines may have been a tad on the predictable side, but the result and performance they were hailing was anything but.Shorn of several key players through injury and suspension, two successive defeats beforehand for the first time in 18 months, up against a Roma side full of attacking talent... Manchester United fans had every reason to be nervous beforehand.

But a dazzling display adorned with seven goals of bewitching quality left Sir Alex Ferguson purring that "in European terms, it was without doubt the greatest night I have had here".Little wonder given the statistics. It was the biggest winning margin ever in a Champions League knock-out round match, and the biggest victory in a European Cup or Champions League quarter-final since Real Madrid thumped Seville 8-0 in 1958.
