Veteran Giggs turns back clock with classic display

Ryan Giggs rolled back the years with an inspirational display to lead Manchester United into the Champions League quarterfinals on Wednesday, becoming the oldest outfield player to take part in the competition's knockout stages.

Handed his first start in 11 games, the 40-year-old was central to all that was good in United's play and provided key passes to set up the opening two goals in a 3-0 win over Olympiakos that took United into the last eight.

Giggs, making his 140th Champions League appearance, is second behind former Real Madrid striker Raul (142) in games played in the competition.
