He revisits the 2007 Champions League semi-final at the San Siro, remembering the performance from one AC Milan superstar that he still calls the best he’s ever played against. He explains why Rangers was the most hostile ground and how it got a bit personal between him and the Ibrox crowd. Wayne also recalls a surreal post-match encounter in a Chinese restaurant with Diego Maradona after playing Real Madrid and the souvenir he walked with and shares why Celtic Park was special for him, even in defeat, and how Sir Alex Ferguson gave him both barrels after the game. And what was Wayne's favourite European night? A match that he says he should never have played in, but saw Manchester United give one of their biggest rivals a football lesson. You can watch The Wayne Rooney Show on BBC Sport YouTube, iPlayer, as well as listen on BBC Sounds.","meta_description":"Wayne takes us on a trip through the most memorable European away nights from his career.
