The plastic pitch, that helped shatter England's Euro 2008 hopes but was ripped up for UEFA's showpiece. The opposition will be less familiar in the form of CSKA Moscow for the Champions League clash.<br /><br />And, for Carrick at least, there is no sense of reliving past glories. Ask him what will drive him forward in Europe this season and it is not experiencing the high of Moscow again, it is erasing that pitiful low in Rome.<br /><br />"Without doubt Moscow was the best day of my career. Nothing tops that," said Carrick, recalling the penalty shoot-out win over Chelsea.<br /><br />"But I do take more from the losses and the negatives. They are the things that spur me on. It is great when you are winning leagues and being successful but that night in Rome (losing to Barcelona last season) will haunt us for a long time. The only way to shake it off is to try and win it again," he added.
