And you know i'm a loyal Chelsea fan. Almost cried when John Terry misses the penalty which leads to Chelsea losing the penalty shootout to Man U in this season's Champion's league Final. Yes. Champion's league is the ultimate trophy any club will want to get hold of as it features only the best of best clubs in Europe. In the end, it boils down to 2 English teams who dominates their own premier league too.

Can't really get to sleep yesterday even though i went to bed at around 9 plus? Was thinking about the possible results that will occur in the match. Woke up and 230 and after seeing through both teams line up, the whistle blow for the start of the match. Let me summarize a bit. From what i can say, first half is within Man U control. They create chance after chance but can't get the 2nd goal they need to kill the game off and that results in Chelsea crawling back just at the brink of half time. A defensive error which leads to an easy goal by Chelsea's tailsmanic playmaker (which is also my idol) Frank Lampard. Oh ya. Not to mention Man U's goal is scored by. Yup. You guessed it. It's him again. Cristiano Ronaldo. Credit to him. A beautiful header.

Start of 2nd half and it's Chelsea all over the pitch. i guessed the equaliser and half time team talk spurred them on. It's Chelsea who dominates the match and came close to snatching the winning goal when Chelsea's striker (Drogba) turns and shot which hits the post and bounce safely outwards to the relief of Man U players. Other than that, it's a quiet match which drags into extra time when drama begins to unfold.

Tired bodys and legs can be seen as both teams players struggled to control and dedicate the play. Once again, Chelsea came close with a shot by F. Lampard which again, hit the post and bounce safely outwards. And drama unfolds when Drogba, feeling the heat, decides to give Vidic (Man U defender) a slap on his face. And he did that directly in front of the offical. What's the end result? Yes. Of course a red card to signal his end of contribution to the beautiful game which threatens to be marred by this incident. Chelsea hanged on and on before the referee blows for penalty shootout to decide the winner.

Usually, i believe the penalty shootout will be the platform where villain turns hero and hero turns villain. And it turns out to be so true. The one who scored for Man U earlier, misses the penalty. And when Chelsea 5th penalty taker, John terry scored, they'll win the shootout. But instead, he missed. This scenario? Both heros turning villains. It carries on until a time where Man u scored and Chelsea need to score to carry on in the game but instead, miss. His shot is saved by Man U's goalkeeper and this is a scenario whereby a villain becoming a hero.

2008 Champion's league winner goes to :

-MANCHESTER UNITED-

It's really heartbreaking for me to see my beloved Chelsea to be hurled at the last hurdle. They overcome many obstacles to get this far but was denied the ultimate trophy by a resilient Man U. It's the first time in history where Chelsea qualified for the Finals unlike last few seasons when they're stopped at the semi-finals. But the story of their success ends in tears when they eventually lost this final. There were ups and downs within the clubs. Stories of mixed emotions and how players dislike working with each other threatens to marred Chelsea campaign. Winners being winners, they overcome all this problems but still... haiz. heartbreaking. In the end, Chelsea ends 2007/2008 season without any silverware.

I personally believed more problems will arouse within the club now. Most noticable will be the contract of Chelsea's tailsmanic player in Frank Lampard. Talks of him penning a new contract had last from last 2 seasons till now but still, he had not yet put pen to paper. Will he eventually leave? I cant find the answer. But i hope he'll stay and lift Chelsea to greater heights.

Thursday 22 May 2008. A defining moment for all Chelsea fans. But i believe, and i know they will, be back stronger next season...
