Giggs Eyes Roman Conquest

Having booked a berth in this season's Champions League final in Rome, the Reds are on course to make good on a pledge made at the end of last season.

For a player and a team that achieves so much, finding new challenges can be difficult. But almost as soon as last year's final in Moscow had swung in United's favour, the Reds' sights were set on becoming the first side in 20 years to successfully defend the trophy.

"We said last year we wanted to defend it [the Champions League], give it a big shot and that's what we've done," Giggs told MUTV.

"The final is the biggest occasion you can be involved in and it's a great feeling to be there again. We've come out tonight and produced an unbelievable performance.

"We knew we'd get chances because this team creates them, it's just about putting them away. We did and that put the pressure right back on Arsenal, knowing they had to score three goals. That left gaps at the back for us to score more, and that's what happened."

United now have four games to seal the Barclays Premier League title before attentions can switch to Rome, and Giggs admits the players are relishing such high stakes.

"This is what we want," he said. "At this part of the season, we want to win big games.

"We've got another one on Sunday against City. We're in the final now and we can concentrate on the Premier League."
