Wednesday, 3 August 2005
Anorthosis Famagusta FC produced a famous result in Turkey to book a tie with Rangers FC as the UEFA Champions League third qualifying round lineup was decided on Wednesday.
Trabzonspor tamed
The make-up of ten of the 16 matches was unknown before the last raft of second qualifying round second legs, with former champions Manchester United FC, AFC Ajax and holders Liverpool FC among those to discover their opposition. Rangers FC, who saw city rivals Celtic FC depart to FC Artmedia Bratislava on Tuesday, will play Anorthosis, who made the most of a 3-1 home-leg win against Trabzonspor as they lost only 1-0 in the return in Turkey

OK, yeah, whatever. Come on, man, if Anorthosis play Trabzonspor 10 more times, they're gonna lose 9 of them. It's not that they're a better team.
It's just that they did what couldn't be done. Well done to them.
