Tough luck Chelsea. I think today's morning Champions League Final could go either way. Ronaldo scored first as Man U were ruthless in the first half and could have easily gone 3-0 up at half time if it wasnt for Cech's world-class saves. But just before half-time, Lampard equalised. On the 2nd half, it was Chelsea's turn to be rampant. If only they were a bit clinical in front of goal, Chelsea would have lifted the cup instead of Man Ure.


The only thing Drogba contributed was a curling shot that hit the Manure's goal frame. Other than that, he'll be remembered as the 2nd player to be sent off in the final after slapping Vidic in the face. Stupidity reared its ugly head again. That could be his last game for Chelsea anyway. Lampard also hit the bar with a left foot shot. Luck must be with the Manures.


In the end, the dreaded penalty shootout decided the winner. And haha. Ronaldo missed again! When he does that patented hesitation before the kick, I knew Cech will save. And I thought that cup could be Chelsea's for sure. But a Terry miskick from the spot and Anelka rather tame shot later, Manures are 3rd time European Champions. 3RD TIME ONLY. LIVERPOOL GOT 5, PLUS WE GET TO KEEP OUR CUP!

One more thing I would like to point out is the omission of Park Ji Sung from the Manure squad. I think he deserves a place in the final, atleast the bench as he was one of the best performers in the semis against Barca. But it was Fletcher who was chosen instead. Looks like Old Fergie is playing favouritsm here. Fletcher is a Scot, and so is Old Fergie. Countryman helps countryman. Nice.

Overall, it was a good match for neutrals like me. Full of pace, drama and injuries(which could only be beneficial to me). And oh yah. I like Lampard's face before he takes a penalty. He will let out his tongue and lick his entire mouth. Haha. I'm like that too, thats why I like.

I did my 1st presentation today. And it sucked. I'm at loss for words in the middle but luckily my mates backed me up. Gotta learn to be more outspoken. Bleargh.
