MAN UTD do the Double!

May 28th 2008 00:51

Christiano Ronaldo celebrates with the Champions League Cup

At about 8:00am last Thursday morning, Man Utd had completed the double in one season. Only less then a week ago before the Champions League Final in Russia, they had taken out the EPL title at Wigan. After dominating the EPL season with 27 wins, five losses and six draws, I think it was pretty safe to say that Man United would infact complete the double against Chelsea later in the week. And as a matter of fact, they did. Although it wasn't a total white-wash, the Red Devils did deserve to win, especially from the performance they displayed in the first half. Christiano Ronaldo was his usual 'sublime' self, while the mid-field dominated possession. Ronaldo scored in 26th minute but was counteracted right on the stroke of half-time from a Frank Lampard tap-in. The second half proved to be a bit of a bore where the only excitement was a few yellow cards. The match then went into extra time where Drogba was sent off for a slap to the face of a United player. Penalties was the only we were going to get a winner and when Rinaldo stepped up to take United's third penalty, I got the sense we were on the way to victory. However, this was not the case. After such a sensational season...it had to be Rinaldo to give the Champions League Cup to the Chelsea Blues. But the game wasn't over yet. John Terry (captain of Chelsea) stepped up to win the game for his team but like, Rinaldo, also missed. Nikolas Anelka then lost the game for the Blues when United goalkeeper (Van Der Sar) dived to his right to save one penalty kick that he will never forget.

United won 6-5 on penalties.
