Champions League Finals 07/08

So fast another year of soccer season has ended with the ECL finals being played early this morning between two English teams - Chelsea and Man U.

Just 363 days ago, I was watching the match between AC Milan and Liverpool at Bimbang's house and today's match we've planned to watch at his house again, but due to other commitment, he's now 1845 km away. Therefore, I ended up watching on the computer alone as others don't seemed interested to watch the match.

Prior to the match, I had hoped that it won't be a boring match. I'm glad that it wasn't that bad after the first goal went in. Both sides' goalies have had a lot of work to do and going into the penalties was the climax.

I've heard someone commented that for each of the two teams, their fans would hoped that their teams win the double, and other fans would wished the glory shared between the two clubs, but I've secretly wished that Man U will triumph. At least this would mean that another club has failed to win any trophy this year, just like my favourite club.

Anyway, during the penalty shootout, I thought that I will once again be disappointed. On the fifth round, Terry walked forward to the penalty spot confidently, and I thought that was the end. On the seventh round, looking at the expression of Anelka's face, I knew it must be the end.

1-1 draw between the two sides, Man U win 6-5 from the penalty spot. Let's look forward to next year's match between Arsenal and ????...
