Filed Under Champ. league | 3 Comments
Manchester United secured their third European Championship after a dramatic penalty shoot-out (6-5) over Chelsea after the scores were locked at 1-1 after 30 minutes of extra time.
Nani played a major role in helping Manchester United secure the Champions League crown for 2008.
Nani came on in the 101 minute to replace Wayne Rooney and his fresh legs enabled him to make some darting runs up the right hand side.
Nani was left bloodied and dazed after a head clash not long after he came on the field, however he continued to be a threat late in extra time.
Sir Alex Ferguson’s confidence in him was rewarded when Nani confidently stepped up to the mark and slotted his penalty shot passed Chelsea keeper Petr Cech.
Congratulations to Nani and all the Manchester United squad on winning the Champions League crown.
