Manchester United had just returned from the Club World Cup and were facing Stoke City on Boxing Day of 2008. They were 3^rd in the league as Liverpool were racing ahead in the title chase. The 1-0 win at Stoke on that day set something in motion.

United went on to win 11 straight games in the league right up till 4 March 2009. The streak was brought to an end by Liverpool themselves when they won 4-1 at Old Trafford. However, by then it was a little too late.

This was around the same time that Rafael Benitez, the then manager of Liverpool, had just read out his list of “facts” in the famous press conference. Atlas, Sir Alex Ferguson had the last laugh winning the league for the third consecutive time and equalling Liverpool’s record of 18 league titles in England.
