This time I'm going to do this blog in English since I'm a major in English.
Today was the Champions League Final.
Manchester United v FC Chelsea London
6 : 5 after penalty shootout

It was a match with two very different halfs. The first 45 minutes were a demonstration of ManU strength. It was one of the best ManU halfs I've ever seen. Cristiano Ronaldo's goal was a very nice header. No chance for Petr Cech to get this one. The equalizer a couple of seconds before half-time was very lucky. It was sort of a pinball goal since nobody seemed to know how the ball got over the line.
The second half was nearly the other way around. Chelsea got stronger and stronger with each passing minute. Bute both teams didn't manage to shoot the second goal, which would've propably been the decider.
Extra time wasn't very exciting in my eyes, except for the quarrel in which Didier Drogba got the red card which he absolutely deserved for slapping Michael Carrick if I'm not mistaken.
As always the penalty shootout was extremely nerve-wracking.
I was pretty sure that ManU would manage to win but after C. Ronaldo didn't score I started to doubt, because I knew that Edwin van der Saar isn't a penalty-killer, but thankfully John Terry managed to hit the right post. And in the end Nicolas Anelka was the unlucky guy to shoot the penalty that van der Saar managed to save extraordinarily. After all I think that ManU is the worthy winner of the 2007/08 UEFA Champions League. The had the best player (Ronaldo) on the field and still one of the best goalies between their posts.
I'm a little sorry for Michael Ballack who now has lost the Champions League Final the second time and who has lost the Premier League like he lost the Bundesliga with Bayer Leverkusen in 2002.
I hope that next year Bayern Munich will at least come as far as the semi-finals. But that'll depend on whom they will buy for the next season. I hoped it would be Genero Gattuso, but he didn't want to leave Milan after all. Let's see who we'll get. We need another striker for sure, even though Luca Toni and Miro Klose are one of the best forward duos in the world right now. And with Lukas Podolski there's a really talented third striker behind them.
Let's see or as "The Kaiser" would say: Schaun mer mal.
Tomorrow I'll be back with a review of the new "Indiana Jones".
Until then
