the story of how pink floyd helped turn rock music into a visual spectacle. we would have the maddest ideas and we'd follow them through a long way. obviously some of them were just too mad and got discarded, but we put a lot of time and energy and effort into the strangest ideas. there was no—one to tell us "you can't do it that way," because we just would do it whatever way... and we were young and arrogantand... they were some brilliant times. it was an era of massive experimentation and there was a whole generation of designers and architects creating things that they thought no one would ever built. and then along came pink floyd.

is to give our best in every game and to start again on saturday. every time, we can't play —— we can play great football without finding the clinical edge and this is very difficult for players. we can have all the good situations in the first half, in the second also, and just one situation, it's enough to score. this is difficult to accept, of course. real madrid are still on course to be the first team to successfully defend the champions league. they're just one step away after reaching another final. it's the fourth time they've overcome their city rivals atletico in the competition, although they had to resist quite a fightback, as nick parrott reports. atletico madrid were going to need
