Ryan Giggs isn't surprised by the current red-hot form of Manchester United teammate Wayne Rooney.
As United's elder statesman, Giggs realises it won't be long before he must hand over the responsibility he has carried for so long to others.
And in Rooney, the veteran Welshman knows they have the right man for the big occasion.
"I am not surprised at what Wayne is doing," said Giggs.
"The top players perform when the trophies are about to be handed out. They produce moments of inspiration when it matters.
"Wayne has done that time and time again over the years, so it was hardly a shock he was superb against Schalke."
