Tonight is why i can't retire-sir alex Ferguson

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson
says games like tonight against Real Madrid
is why he carries on.
Ferguson argues he can't walk away when
there's experiences like what lies ahead on
offer.
"People ask me why I don't retire after so
many years in the game but how could
anyone with an ounce of passion for
football in their soul voluntarily walk away
from the opportunity to be involved in this
type of occasion?" Ferguson told United
Review.
"This is what it is all about - a packed Old
Trafford, the floodlights on, the pitch
glistening and two of the greatest and
romantic clubs in the game about to do
battle.
"Manchester United and Real Madrid are
indelibly written into football history, with
so many great players gracing the stage
here over the years, and from time to time
enjoying the glory that comes with winning
this most elusive of prizes.
"The tales of 'derring-do' as we strive to
prove we are the best in Europe illuminate
the seasons and I like to think that the
pioneers like Sir Matt Busby and Santiago
Bernabeu, the president of Real Madrid who
gave his name to the stadium, will be up
there smiling and as excited as the rest of us
at the prospect of another dramatic night
featuring the best that the game can
provide."
