May 21, 2008 in Moscow - when Manchester United became Champions League winners for the third time. x.com/ChampionsLeagu… It's crazy how much I remember about that game to this day. Wes Brown's cross for Cristiano Ronaldo's header after 25 mins, Petr Čech's double save before half time from Carlos Tevez's diving header & Michael Carrick's follow up. How it wasn't more than 1-0 was so frustrating, before Lampard's equaliser on the stroke of half time & being on the backfoot after that in the second half. Lampard hitting the cross bar in extra time, Ryan Giggs nearly winning it in extra time when he used the wrong foot. Didier Drogba's idiotic red card after slapping Nemanja Vidic, then of course the penalty shootout. Ronaldo's miss, John Terry's slip, Anderson's ice cold penalty at the age of 18, Edwin van der Sar's save from Nicolas Anelka after pointing to the left prior to going right. Euphoria. Will never forget the uncontrollable feeling of celebration. That's what it's all about. 18 years ago!



We're happy to announce our pre-season schedule for 2026-27! *Our inaugural home game against National League opposition is TBA.
