I am sure I will feel ecstatic later, but right now, I am mostly just relieved that Manchester United won the Champions League today against Chelsea 1-1, 6-5 on penalties. Chelsea deserved to win after weathering United's offensive storm in the first half, playing better in the second, and having an opportunity to clinch the championship in the fifth round of penalties (John Terry, my sympathies are with you). But the same good fortune that helped United score two second half injury-time goals in the 1999 final to beat Bayern Munich showed its face again today in Moscow, and it was too much for Chelsea to overcome. Manchester United thereby complete the Premiership-European Cup double, edging Chelsea in both competitions. Well done, lads, well done.
