In what was certainly one of the most dramatic finals in recent memory, the Champions League final was watched at the comfort of my living room for once, instead of Asia Cafe. I was joined by my fellow Mancunian, Kien Giap, and many thanks to SK and Aaron for joining in, despite being Arsenal fans, you displayed true passion for friendship and football =).
The match unfolded at 2.45am Malaysia time
As the beers started flowing, Cristiano Ronaldo headed in the opening goal, dispelling critics that he disappears in the biggest matches. And if he doesn't win the FIFA World Player of the Year award, I'll be damned. In truth, United had by far the greater chances, and could have been 3-0 up. What a waste.
Chelsea scored an absolute fluke, but in fairness, they hit the woodwork twice in the 2nd half, and 1-1 at the end of 90 mins was justified.
Before Drogba's moment of madnessPenalty shootouts was nerve wrecking, and when Terry strode to take his penalty, I was all prepared to be heartbroken, but the sight of him missing, was one to remember, undescribable relief flushed through me. Phewwww.
Of course, the momentum was with United by then, and when Van der Sar saved Anelka's penalty,
United are Kings of Europe once again!!
