Been mentioned now but first that came to mind for me when I saw the thread title was Real Madrid in the champions league.
We were absolutely brilliant and tore them apart.
Another one that comes to mind, bit of a strange one as it was absolutely gutting was the CL final in 07. Maybe not a complete performance as such but my memory of that game was us being far far the better side and playing with a maturity that said we knew we belonged on that stage, whereas 05 was just a dream run (although speaking of 05, Juve at Anfield where big Sami scored was another great performance and we were great away in that leg too). But 07, Stevie had that chance where he broke through and Dida smothered it and Pennant had his best game but Inzaghi poached two goals. Can’t remember the score when Stevie was in on goal but it was such a tight game that it would have made a huge difference probably.
Edit: Another one I remember from the Rafa era was against Derby - think we won 6 0, can’t quite recall but we were absolutely on fire that day and you just knew we would go close to the title that year.
