Background: Ruud van Nistelrooy had already filled his boots in the 2002/03 Champions League campaign with six goals, including two in the qualifying stage, as Phase 2 kicked off at the end of November (in those days there were two separate group stages in the UCL, remember). Ruud had scored 10 goals for United in his debut European campaign the year before and it turned out he was only getting warmed up.
The goal: The Swiss side had taken a shock lead after just 31 seconds in their first-ever match against the Reds, and carried that lead through to the hour mark.
