We played well that night and never looked in any trouble, but forgot how good that side was:
Martyn
Mills
Ferdinand
Matteo
Harte
Batty
Dacourt
Bowyer
Kewell
Smith
Viduka
Team cobbled together with the chief sidelined as well and several players carrying injuries.
Worth re-watching. It's on the OS.

I remember that game you overturned a 2-0 deficit, right? Then got battered by madrid I think in the next round?

No they beat us 2-0 back in Spain in the 2nd leg. Lost to Valencia in the next round. Decent 0-0 at home in the 1st leg then beaten 3-0 away

I was actually there at that game. Went with a mate who had a spare and was at the top left of the Kop. Leeds were superb that night and Rio Ferdinand put in a pretty much perfect performance. Quality free kick from Harte too. One of the loudest games I've ever been to.

I remember wanting Leeds to win that game so bad. Valencia knocked us out in the previous round and I hated them for it

That Valencia team was very, very good. Deportivo also has valeron who was a really classy player.
