Aggregate: Manchester United 1-1(PEN 6-5) Chelsea

In an all-English final, Chelsea played Manchester United in Moscow, Russia. The fixture turned out to be worth every penny for the fans, as the penalty shoot-out added an adrenaline rush in their veins.

To start with, Sir Alex was keen on winning the third Champions League title for United, while interim coach Avram Grant poached for their first-ever silverware in the competition. Cristiano Ronaldo scored with a header from a Wes Brown cross in the 26th minute to grant United the lead. But, a smooth finish from Frank Lampard saw Chelsea reduce the deficit at the end of the first half. The second half was quite competitive, with Chelsea keeping United on the back foot for long periods of time.

The match took an exciting turn when the referee blew the final whistle after extra time, signalling a penalty shoot-out. United suffered the first blow after Petr Cech denied United's third kick of the shootout taken by none other than Cristiano Ronaldo. The excitement throughout the stadium reached its zenith as John Terry stepped up to take the final penalty. The goal would result in Chelsea winning the UCL for the first time in their history.

But, bad luck struck for the Blues captain as he slipped and shot the ball wide of the goal post. The shoot-out continued, to the utter disappointment of the Chelsea fans. Anderson first, then Salmon Kalou and later Ryan Giggs struck the penalties. French forward Nicholas Anelka handed United a dramatic win after being denied on the right by Edwin Van Der Sar.
