Manchester United vs Chelsea
Luzhniki Stadium, Moscow.....
Woke up at 5.30a.m.
Just so that I could catch the second half......
1-1 was the score at half-time...
2nd half wasn't a classic, with players going down with muscle problem and stuff!
Pitch wasn't at its best.
Chelsea hit the woodwork twice and were not to be denied.
It was a fairy-tale ending nonetheless....
Extra Time - Drogba got sent off as a result of slapping Vidic 5 minutes before extra time(He could be the eventual penalty-taker that might have saved the day for Chelsea).
Man Utd and Chelsea then made their last substitution of the game before heading off to penalties.
It was 4-4 after a C.Ronaldo missed penalty and if Chelsea scored the next, they would have won! Who better to take apart from Captain Marvel John Terry. A twist to the story.... He slipped while taking the penalty and the score stands at 4-4. Anderson and Kalou scored for Man Utd and Chelsea respectively to make it 5-5. Giggs, the old warhorse as described by the commentator, scored the next penalty to make it 6-5. Up step Nicholas Anelka for Chelsea, he directed the ball to the right of Van Der Sar and Van Der Sar guesses correctly and well, the rest is History!!!!!
Man Utd are crowned European Champions 2007/2008!!!! What a night.. What a night!!! A revenge against Chelsea in last year FA Cup final!!
Man Utd won the double as a result. A nerve-shredding game. Supporters of either team would be feeling the way I feel. O well.
Going to bath now and off to Uni I go!
