The King of Europe
Man Utd 1-1 Chelsea : Incredible penalty spot kick drama
" Manchester United became kings of Europe for the third time on a night of high drama and emotion in Moscow as they beat Chelsea 6-5 on penalties after a 1-1 draw after extra time. "
Cristiano Ronaldo scores the first goal before Frank Lampard scores the equalizer before half time. As the second half is on, in terms of possession and shots chances on goal attempt, I shall say Chelsea won both of it. With the shot chances from Didier Drogba and Frank Lampard hit the bar twice as they struggle through to the extra time, then penalty shoot out.
Manchester United goalkeeper Edwin Van der Sar was the hero with a penalty save to deny Nicolas Anelka after Chelsea captain John Terry had missed the chance to win the Blues the trophy by firing his own spot-kick hit the post. I was hoping Chelsea to miss the penalty when Cristiano Ronaldo miss the 3rd penalty spot. and surprisingly, John Terry indeed missed the penalty. lol.
As now I'm speechless and was too exited so I will let the photos to the talkings.
The Luzhniki Stadium prepares to welcome two English teams for the first time in Champions League final history.
The Champions League trophy waits expectantly to be won again, having been handed back by last year's winners AC Milan.
An on-fire Cristiano Ronaldo leapt highest to score his 42nd goal of the season, but it would be in vain as Frank Lampard made it 1-1 before half-time.
LUCKY LAMPARD? Can consider as a lucky shot for Frank Lampard.
Drogba sees red?!! He was sent off for a pointless, stupid and useless slap on Nemanja Vidic face at the end of extra-time. Crappy isn't he.
Ronaldo misses in the penalty shoot-out, but he wouldn't be made to pay for it.
Chelsea skipper John Terry lies on the turf after missing the penalty which would have given Chelsea the Cup. Thanks to him that Man Utd wins the title.
Edwin Van der Sar celebrates as he dived to save Nicolas Anelka's penalty, giving Man Utd a famous win in Moscow. Wooohooo!!
Finally, the celebration. Manchester United are the Champions of Europe and the Champions of England too. They are the greatest in the globe. beat that!
John Terry, don't cry. We all thank you and salute you! Try again next season. Without you, I think I wont be posting this anyway. lol.
Me . Man Utd . for LIFE
