Ryan Giggs believes Manchester United deserved to progress to the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League.\n<\/p>\n

\t\t<\/p>\n

The veteran midfielder played a key role as United defeated Chelsea over two legs to win their quarter-final encounter 3-1 on aggregate.<\/p>\n

Giggs was instrumental in the opening goal, pulling away from Nicolas Anelka before supplying the cross for Javier Hernandez to tap home during a huge moment in the game.<\/p>\n

Following Didier Drogba’s second-half leveller, Giggs admitted the timing of the winning goal from Ji-Sung Park proved crucial in the game.<\/p>\n

Stuffing<\/h4>\n

“Chelsea gave us a great game but you’re always pleased to get into the semi-finals,” Giggs told Sky Sports<\/i>.<\/p>\n

“We expected them to come at us, they needed to score, we knew we needed to try to score too, to take the pressure off us.<\/p>\n

“I think we deserved it, we played well down there, had a good gameplan and stuck to it and tonight got a couple of great goals.<\/p>\n

“The second goal came at exactly the right time, they had just scored, so us scoring so quickly after they had knocked the stuffing out of them, really.”<\/p>\n
