4 percent just isn’t enough

so, the champions league final was good, and as expected… kind of… for once, i wasn’t frustrated by diving cheats the whole time, so that’s a start. a couple of years back we saw an all italian UCL final, i wonder which match the neutral supporter or new come’r would’ve preferred?

skippys header was a cracker, perfect placement, unstoppable…

lamps’ goal, umm, fortunate?

chelsea hit the goal frame twice more during regular time but it still played out for 120 minutes and had to be decided by penalties, and john terry in particular. he could’ve wrapped it up, and frankly, i thought he would. but no. pretty much a carbon copy of beckhams pen against portugal in portugal, his planted foot slipped and that was that.

it’s strange, with margins so close, neither team can really claim to have had it in the bag the whole time… and i definitely think chelsea’s road to the final was much more difficult than man u’s, but whatever… no one will remember how close the match was when a certain red a strip has an extra gold star sewn on it next season.

i’ll leave you with possibly the most telling statistic from the match…

man u
shots (on target): 13 (5)

chelsea
