Congratulations to the Champions of Europe

Well it's only right that I pay tribute to man united, after a tremendous effort in winning the champions league in moscow 2008.

The game didn't let us down either with both teams contributing to a fantastic game of football.

What a great advert for english football.

United dominated the first half and should have been 2 or 3 goals up. Ronaldo played his part by terrorising Essien down the left wing and popped up on the far post to score an almighty header.

Chelsea got back in to it late in the first half with a relatively lucky goal from Lampard.

The second half kicked off with Chelsea taking more control and put united on the back foot. However Man u held strong and created further chances. Chelsea hit the woodwork twice and then the moron Drogba got sent off. 120 minutes couldn't seperate the sides so it went to penalties.

The team that held their nerve, that played the better football and battled the hardest and ultimately wanted it more, won on the night.

So a big congratulations to united - I'm off to see if i can mash up the champions league theme tune (if it hasn't already been done)
