CHAMPIONS OF EUROPE

HOOWAH! Manchester United has finally reached it's final stage of the battle and what an ending it really was! English champion... now European champion *respect*! Man Utd's 3rd European title. Really proud of the men on the field and the supporters who were there throughout the season... supporting and cheering for our team to move on to to do the amazings and near-impossibles!

I'm sure lots of you have watched the replays again and again... but I'll summarised the action on that very special nite.

1st Half-

> Manchester and Chelsea both started strong with their attacks
> 26th Minute, Manchester United had lead with a superb n neat finish by Ronaldo
> 45th Munute, Lampard scored the equaliser after a mistake(more of a accident) from Rio Ferdinand.

2nd Half-

> Both teams played defensively
> Lots of chances for Chelsea, but most of them were saved by the Keeper's best friend; THE POST
> Games continues on Extra Time

ET, 1st half-

> 98th Min, Lampard shot a powershot but thankfully post stood firm to block his effort *PHEW*

ET, 2nd half-
> Giggs almost gave the win to Man Utd but a superb saved by John Terry the Chelsea Capt
> No scores? no winners? PENALTY!

Here's a video on the penalty shootout!




Gosh! How close is that!!!! OMG OMG OMG!!! You can see how it meant to Ronaldo... thank goodness for the save or not he'll blame himself for the rest of his life. He should owe all this to Van Der Sar!


Here's my video recording at the end of the nite. Celebration and short highlights.




This win is a big one for me personally! I've never witness Manchester United won the champions league live in my life. I didn't manage to watch the 98/99 Final, was still a young supporter as I just started playing football on that year itself (I was 14 years old) and the year before. To hear people talk bout the treble nite, watching replays on tht year's Champions League final always makes me envy.... "I wanna watch it with my own eye's too... LIVE!!" Now the only trophy left is the FA CUP!

Not sure bout the others but since I set eyes upon Owen Hargreaves during the World Cuo 2006, I knew he's someone special... It's his first season, his first Premier league medal, his first Champions League Medal... bring home more Hargreaves!!! =D
