Wednesday night in Moscow we had the two best teams in England and Europe going head to head in a Champions league final that had was non-stop from start to finish. The first half was all Manchester united, with them taking an early lead through (you know who) Ronaldo, who scored his ninth goal of the season in the competition and his 42nd overall in a brilliant campaign for the Portuguese winger, and to be honest were unlucky not to add to their total until on the stroke of half-time Frank Lampard stunned the United fans and sent the Chelsea fans into raptures by equalising with a goal that was totally against the run of play and sent Chelsea in at the break with their tails up and United?s between their legs.
The second half though was nothing like the First with Chelsea having the upper hand and was desperately unlucky when a pile driver hit by Drogba left united keeper Van Der Sar rooted to the spot but hit the post and came out to safety. The final score of 1-1 meant that the game went to extra time with either side having that extra bit of magic to win it in normal time. With four minutes to go in extra time and the game looking like penalties Drogba showed the bad side of him by slapping united defender Vidic around the face earning himself a straight red card throwing the balance of power back to united.
In the ensuing penalty drama Ronaldo was the first player to miss sparking wild scenes at the Chelsea end of the ground and captain Terry had the chance to win it but slipping as he connected with the ball and putting it wide gave united another chance which they were not going to give away for a second time. Giggs was the penalty hero who eclipse Bobby Charlton?s united appearance record in this game also sparking celebrations across the world for all of the Manchester United supporters and giving the club the trophy for the third time in their history.
