Dortmund overcame Zenit St. Petersburg 5-4 on aggregate despite losing 2-1 Wednesday. <br />Before the game,[url=http://www.okskor.se]Nike Shox[/url], Moyes -- one bookmaker lists Dortmund boss Jurgen Klopp as the favorite to succeed the Scot -- denied reports that he had clashed with Ryan Giggs and van Persie. <br />The 40-year-old Giggs was reinserted into the starting lineup at Old Trafford as part of four changes from the 3-0 defeat to Liverpool -- and he made an impact. <br />Also helping Manchester United was Olympiacos' poor record in England: The Greek side has played 12 times -- and now lost on each occasion. <br />"I said to (my team) on Monday morning we have to win 3-0,[url=http://www.okskor.se]Air Max[/url], give the crowd something back because the crowd here has been incredible," Moyes, the successor to managerial giant Alex Ferguson at United, told Sky Sports. "They deserved a good night because we haven't given them many good nights this season. <br />"I'm not feeling pressure from inside the club. It's all coming from you people," Moyes added, referring to the media. "I know the job I have to do. It's a big job. It's way bigger than maybe we all expected when we came in. <br />"But the players have been great. I keep hearing about this one has fallen out or someone else has fallen out and I keep telling people it's rubbish -- and it is rubbish." <br />Van Persie, who led United to the league title last term, and Wayne Rooney were isolated in the loss to Liverpool, with the Dutchman spending the majority of his time in midfield instead of up front. <br />That wasn't the case Wednesday. <br />Bookings, a collision that left United winger Antonio Valencia with a swollen eye and a glaring miss by Olympiacos' Hernan Perez highlighted an action-packed opening 15 minutes. <br />And when Rooney struck the post in the 18th minute,[url=http://www.okskor.se/nike-free-38]Nike Free Run[/url], some of the United fans must have thought this might not be their night. <br />Giggs, however -- and not for the first time in his stellar career -- split open the Olympiacos defense with a diagonal ball that reached van Persie. Referee Bjorn Kuipers pointed to the spot when the striker was pushed by Jose Holebas and van Persie made no mistake as he picked himself up in the 25th minute. <br />Olympiacos didn't crumble. It was always a threat on the counter and David De Gea,[url=http://www.okskor.se/air-max-33]Nike Air Max[/url], now firmly settled in Manchester,[url=http://www.okskor.se]Nike Free[/url], made a sparkling double save in the 40th minute. <br />with hope. <br />Once midfielder Sebastian Kehl leveled in the 39th, though,[url=http://www.okskor.se/]Nike Sverige[/url], it was almost impossible for Zenit St. Petersburg to progress. Even after Jose Rondon made it 2-1 for Zenit in the second half, it still needed two more goals. <br />Dortmund's joy was tempered by a yellow card to striker Robert Lewandowski that rules the Pole out of the first game of the quarterfinals and Kehl was displeased with the home crowd, too. <br />"Maybe they wanted to see a 6-1 win, but that does not happen every day," he told reporters. "We have had a lot of injuries this season, but this result shows we are well prepared." <br />Defending champion Bayern Munich, Barcelona,[url=http://www.okskor.se/]Billiga Nike Skor[/url], Real Madrid, Chelsea, Atletico Madrid and Paris St-Germain join Manchester United and Borussia Dortmund in Friday's quarterfinal draw.</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="http://picsrv.fora.pl/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> </table>
