Sigh, its that same sinking feeling when you witness your supported team losing in a final against a better team. Manchester United won the Champions League last year all because of John Terry. This time, Barcalona snatched the trophy away from Old Trafford because they were the stronger team.
Today morning, 1 a.m. Kyle was at my room Facebooking, updating his blog and watching Transporter 3. An Audi A8 can surprisingly take alot of damage and still be a smooth ride. For instance in one scene, the Audi was drove off and plunge into the near lake with the driver Frank Martin (Jason Statham) in it. You see, Frank's wrist has been attached to a metal bracelet which keeps track of him. If he's 75 meters away from the car, the car will blow up.
He swam out of the car, opened the boot and managed to find a air balloon. He blows it up, and floats back the car to surface. And after a few restarts, the car works again in perfect condition, able to powerslide and go 180 mph. Sweet, book me an Audi A8.
Was waiting for the match to start. 2:30 a.m. I'm having my art exam today and yet I'm staying up late for a football final match.
1st minute, United was close to leading with Ronaldo's distant free kick being parried by Barcalona's keeper Victor Valdes. Park Ji-Sung, being the first Asian to play in a Champions League final, could have converted the rebound had not for former United defender Gerard Piqué's last-ditch tackleThen on the 10th minute, Barcalona took the lead, thanks to Eto's superb one on one effort. I have to admit it, he was the better one against Vidic. Sigh, this isn't the Vidic I know who won "Manchester United's Player's Player of the year award".
Barcalona was leading 1-0 into the first half. I thought maybe the second half would be a different game. Nah, I was wrong. I went upstairs when they were showing halftime analysis on the first half. Received a message from Manpreet. I wonder, why is it when other club supporters like Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea love to big mouth saying Manchester United don't stand a chance of going against the likes of Barcalona or AC Milan. Heck, I don't see Barcalona or AC Milan fans boasting about how great their side are compared to Manchester United's line-up. Or maybe they are just jealous that Manchester United are able to make it to the final of Europe's most toughest club competition.
I thought United will pull a attacking style like what they did against Arsenal on the 2nd leg semi-finals. United went on to go through the final with a 4-1 aggregate. Counter attack, United's best strategy against any other team. They perfected it.
Came back glued to the tv to watch the match. Kyle was half awake half sleeping. Suddenly a few minutes later, a cross from Xavi found the shortest Barcalona but deadliest among all, Messi. Dubbed Messi-ah by fans, Messi is known for his dribbles, his reading of the game and his ability to pass the ball to his team mates, which leads to a goal.
The closest Manchester United player to Messi in the penalty box was Rio Ferdinand, known for being the other half that completes United's strong defence line up (with Evra and Vidic). But this morning, Rio Ferdinand wasn't alert on Messi's presence in the penalty box.
Messi knew his jump was to short to reach the ball, so he just let the ball hit his head instead. Van Der Sar was left helpless watching Messi's header going to the top right corner of United's goal.
70th minute, Messi-ah scored for the Catalans. 2-0 up, with 20 minutes left to play.
What a chance for United to pull on back in as a cross is scuffed by Ryan Giggs with the goal at his mercy and then Cristiano Ronaldo is denied by Víctor Valdes. Kyle and I were in shocked, how can Ronaldo miss a God-given opportunity to score?! Kyle was so close to shouting the f-word out loud.
Final whistle blew, Kyle and I were dissapointed that we stayed up late, watched the whole match and in the end, seeing Manchester United being second to Barcalona. Went crawling back to bed at 4:30 a.m. Dad had to be our alarm clock, waking us up at 6:40 a.m. Yeah, he knows I and Kyle sneaked out to watch the match.

What's the score?
Hey Gunners, tell me what's the score?
Huh?
No no no....I still can't hear ya? What are you whispering to me?
How many?
1-3. Oh ok cool, so what's the total score?
No no goon, I still can't hear ya?
4-1. Thank you.
I didn't managed to watch the match. Was so worried that Manchester United might lost the plot at the Emirates. But I was wrong......
Rushed back home and turned on the tv to watch Sportscenter. It was definitely a match worth staying up late to watch.
United's first goal of the match proves to be a fast one. Park Ji-Sung scored. In the eighth minute, he raced past Johan Djourou down the left side and passed the ball along the ground to Park Ji-Sung in the Arsenal penalty area. Just as Park received the ball, Arsenal defender Kieran Gibbs lost his footing on grass that was slick after being watered to enable the ball to roll. Park received the pass and scored.
4 minutes later, Ronaldo then scored for United with his trademark distant free kick. No, he doesn't bend it like Beckham, he slams it in his own way, the Ronaldo way.
From 40 yards, Ronaldo won a free kick. He then like usual, would stand with both legs in a wide V-shape. His stance is like arrogant, but the end result, magnificient.
Who would have thought, after that Porto away game, Ronaldo would slam in another screamer. Almunia was a tad late to save the ball.
Then, United's 3rd goal was a combination of perfect passing, perfect timing and a perfect run.
In the 61st minute. Manchester’s third goal was a classic breakaway, a sweeping move the length of the field. Nemanja Vidic headed the ball clear of his penalty area, Ronaldo flicked the ball onward with a backheel, then Park passed it through the central area, and Wayne Rooney accelerated down the left.When Rooney was ready, who should be sprinting into the Arsenal area? Ronaldo, of course. The finish, with Ronaldo’s instep, was his 25th goal of this season in all competitions, his 67th in two seasons.
Classic.
But Arsenal pulled one back in with a penalty, with Darren Fletcher tackled Cesc Fàbregas in the penalty area. A straight red from the referee. Van Persie then converts it from the spot kick.
Will miss you for the final.
When the final whistle blew, Man United fans were delighted. 1-3 the score, 4-1 the final aggregate.
Manchester United, Britain's best football club.

Fulham 2 Man United 0
F(beep) wei!!!! Fulham 2 Man United 0
I was Skyping with Sam, Ian and Alicia, Samuel joked with Ian and me, saying that Manchester United down 4-0 against Fulham. Rushed to switch on the television, Manchester United aren't down 4-0, but 1-0. Scholes was sent off for becoming Manchester United's second goalkeeper. He handed a header from a Fulham corner.
Oh Scholes, van Der Sar should be doing that, not you lah!!!
Oh Danny boy!!!!
I thought Manchester United would at least level the score with a last minute effort, but nah things got even worst. After going 2-0 down, thanks to Gara's awesome goal, Manchester United were very frustrated.
So later on United won a free kick, Rooney picked up the ball, instead of nicely passing back the ball to restart, he threw it like he's playing American Football. Referee was pissed, Rooney was mad, Rooney sent off.
Rooney really need to control his temper.

Glory glory Man United!!!
Couldn't sleep throughout the night. Because I have this thought in mind....
MUST WATCH CHAMPIONS LEAGUE FINAL!!!!
Too bad, have to wake up fresh to get ready to sell the Thumbelinas. Later about the Thumbo's, more on Manchester United.
First thing on morning, on the TV, switch to Eurosport news, and see the results.
"Manchester United defeated Chelsea through penalty shootout after 1-1, 120 minutes."......"Drogba was sent off."
Mum and I was rejoicing like orang gila di dalam rumah pada waktu pagi.
After coming back from school, managed to watched the replay of the final. Witnessed Lampard's effort hitting the post. Waited for Didier "wimp, bad-tempered, gonna be sent off" Drogba to be....sent off.
My wished came through......
Just because of a throw in, and a few arguments, add in a hot tempered Drogba and a angry Vidic, plus Drogba's 'itchy' right hand, you'll get...
DROGBA SLAPPING VIDIC ON THE CHEEK.
And......
Whoooshhh!!! Red for the drog.
That wasn't the 'main happenings' of the match, after extra time is the ever nervous penalty shootout. Two players that decides the fate of their club are....
Cech
And van Der Sar.
Carlos Tevez knocks the first penalty in.
Ballack, who scored the winner at Stamford Bridge against Manchester United, scores to keep up with Man U.
Carrick scored from the second spot kick for Manchester United.
Then this guy named Belletti (who the heck is this guy?).........
Scored for Chelsea's kick.
I don't know what was with Ronaldo.......his shot was saved!!!
Lampard scored....putting Chelsea ahead.
Didn't get Owen Hargreaves's shot. He scored BTW.
Ashley 'cheats on hot wife for a dumb slut' Cole then scores.
Nani kept cool to score for United.
Then....it was Captain Chelsea a.k.a John Terry to take the kick. Drogba was suppose to, but since he stupid behavior caused himself to beg for a red card, Chelsea had to do last-minute changes. Terry had to take the fifth spot.
If he scores....Chelsea wins.
But if he didn't.......Man United still be in the game to win.
Captain Chelsea however, did a carbon copy of David Beckham's missed penalty kick against Turkey in the Euro 2004 qualifiers. He missed it. He blew Chelsea's hope of lifting their first Champions League trophy.
It hit the right post and ball rebounded to elsewhere.
"OOOPPPPSSSS......"
Anderson finally scored after a season.
Salomon Kalou scored.
History making Ryan Giggs scored one and for his 759th appearances for United. Way to go Giggsy!!!
it's not over until someone misses a penalty. And Chelsea literally gave the cup to United, with Anelka missing it. Van Der Sar saving it.
And that means....MANCHESTER UNITED ARE KINGS OF EUROPE!!!
Ronaldo, scoring for United in normal time, missing a penalty kick in shootout time, buries his
face to the pitch.
Van Der Sar on the other hand....mobbed by his United team mates.
The greatest club in the world won the toughest cup.

Manchester United vs Chelsea final
Are you staying up late like 2 a.m to watch 11 players in red and 11 players in blue, and 5 officials in black, and a big big cup waiting to be hold by the victors?
I wanted to....but my mummy and daddy say cannot. Later too tired then cham loh....
As I predicted a few weeks ago that Manchester United will win the Barclay's Premier League, my prediction was sooooo correct. Now, to predict the result, I would say Manchester United to win and lift the trophy infront of Chelsea fans.
Muahahaha....my secretary will take over as I go becoming mad.

"No lah..........eat your antibiotic medicine first, Manchester United....later lah."
