The Luzhniki stadium in Moscow played host to the 2008 Champions League last between two English Premier League Teams, Chelsea and Manchester Utd. The two groups knew each other well and both needed more than anything to win the Cup.
It began well for Man Utd when Christiano Ronaldo opened the scoring with a header in the 26th moment, bouncing above Michael Essien to meet Wes Brown's cross. Minutes late Chelsea were about on level terms when Man Utd goalkeeper Edwin Van der Sar needed to paw away a header from his own particular safeguard, Rio Ferdinand. Petr Cech denied United a second objective in the 34th moment with a fine twofold spare from shots by Rooney and Carrick. In the 45th moment, Chelsea's Michael Essien took a theoretical shot that diverted off Vidic and Ferdinand in to the way of Frank Lampard who opened the ball flawlessly in to the net. Chelsea were back in the diversion.
Amid the following 45 minutes the two groups had opportunities to win. Didier Drogba hit the post from a privilege footed shot from 25 yards toward one side while John Terry cleaned up the line from a Ryan Giggs shot.
In additional time the diversion saw couple of genuine possibilities and the amusement turned revolting. Didier Drogba was sent off for slapping Vidic and Chelsea players felt Tevez had been unsporting in not restoring the ball after a break in the amusement for damage.
Additional time completed and the diversion went to punishments. Tevez and Carrick scored for Utd as did Ballack and Belletti for Chelsea. Ronaldo tried which Cech spared. Lampard scored for Chelsea. Hargreaves for Utd. Ashley Cole hit the back of the newt to take Chelsea to the skirt of triumph. Nani scored to give Utd trust. John Terry ventures up for Chelsea and misses! The strain is presently unendurable, Anderson and Kalou both score, now it's dependent upon Anelka, yet the weight is excessively and Van der Sar palms the ball away - Manchester United are delegated rulers of Europe!
