What a night eh? Manchester United, Champions of Europe once again. Wednesday's final will go down in the history books, and in my opinion surpasses the memorable 1999 final. It really has been the fairytale story for Man Utd this season. 50 years after the Munich air disaster, Ryan Giggs surpasses Bobby Charlton's appearence record and also scores the winning penalty, Paul Scholes was the player who missed out in '99 but fired home the goal against Barcelona to put them in this years final...
You couldn't write that. Ronaldo missing a penalty, then John Terry missing the last penalty which would have won it for Chelsea. Even neutrals would agree that this years final was sensational, and it shows the strength of the Premiership when England's one and two feature in the Champions League Final.
With the double now sealed, Ferguson has hailed this squad as his best yet. And they deserve it. Arguably one of the toughest seasons in Premiership history, they overcame the odds and sealed an historical TENTH title. Man Utd now stand just one league title short of Liverpool...and lets face it, Liverpool aren't going to win the league any time soon!
That's all I wanted to say really, I've never been prouder to be a Man Utd fan. I'll leave you with highlights of the game.
Oh, and this little picture has already started to flood the net....
