    The UEFA Champions League 2008 Winners - Manchester United

    I went to sleep at 02:00hrs in the morning with a really good mood today Smile

    After having won the English Premier League 2007/2008 earlier this month, my favourite team, Manchester United did the Double by winning the UEFA Champions League 2008 on penalties with a score of 6-5.
    That was a really tight match and I watched the whole match till the end with a real great thrill...

    The first goal was from Cristiano Ronaldo in the 26th minute with a great header assisted by a great cross from Wes Brown
    Just before the end of the first half, in the 45th minute, Chelsea equalised with the help of Frank Lampard.
    During the first 45 mins there were quite some events, Scholes was shown a yellow card while his nose bleeding after colliding with Claude Makelele who also got a yellow card. The half time score was 1-1

    The second half was more dominated by Chelsea and both teams became rather physical during the match (At one point i wondered whether it was a football match or a wrestling match Thinking Ryan Giggs broke Bobby Charlton's all-time Manchester United club appearance record when he replaced Paul Scholes after 87 minutes.
    Both teams got the chance to score but none managed to grab the victory in the first 90 minutes.


    During the extra time the Red Devils and the Blues tried to score but neither of the teams were successful. At the end of extra time "
    Drogba was sensationally sent off for slapping Nemanja Vidic as tempers flared on both sides".

    The match went to penalties where Cristiano Ronaldo got really depressed after he missed his penalty. During the fifth penalty Terry put the ball outside which gave Mancester United the chance to get back and after Anelka missing his penalty, Manchester United won the UEFA Champions League 2008 with a score of 6-5.

    The players of the Red Devils celebrated that victory with real enthusiasm with Cristiano Ronaldo really relieved that his mistake did not cost his team the Cup. All the Man Utd players cheered Edwin Van Der Sar for his precious save that led their team to victory. Smile
