ManU completed a double -- they won the Champions league final against Chelsea in a pulsating final on a penalty shoot outs- ManU took the lead with a beautiful curve in by Wes Brown in to the box which Ronaldo headed in and proved that he had the big match temperament- Earlier Brown before delivering the ball in for Ronaldo to head in had a lovely one two with Paul Scholes.. It was treat to watch-
Chelsea equalised in bizarre fashion as two rebounds of Manu Defenders fell in the path of Lampard who blasted it home- there were several missed chances on either side and the game went in to the extra time with no result - The penalties went Chelsea way with Ronaldo of all people missing his kick-- and all that was needed was for the Chelsea captain John terry to slot in - Terry slipped in the rain , lost his footing and missed the penalty and that gave ManU new lifeline and it proved costly- In the sudden death , Edwin Van Sar saved for ManU and that gave him the double for this year-
Ryan Giggs played his 759th match beating the record of 758 by Sir Bobby Charlton a fantastic achievement-
Chelsea Manager Avram Grant got sacked by his club, although he lead them to three runners up titles-- he took over only eight months ago but this performance was not good enough to keep him on the job-- A sack for being runner up- fired by his boss, the Russian Abramovich who owns Chelsea club and who could not bear it loosing in Moscow ( his hometown ) where the final was played !!
