Chelsea 1-2 (5-6 PKs) Manchester United
Luzhniki Stadium @ Moscow, Russia

Wow! United do the Double!

I've said it before and will say it again -- soccer (football) is the "beautiful game", but the cruelest of sports when it comes down to "Russian Roulette", which is penalty kicks.

This is the fourth-straight year that England's Barclays Premier League has had a Finalist as Liverpool lost 2-1 to AC Milan last year in Greece. Arsenal lost 2-1 in 2006 to FC Barcelona in France. Liverpool defeated AC Milan 4-3 on penalty kicks at the 2005 Championship in Turkey.

such bs, this really pisses me off, terrible red card for drogba after chelsea had dominated the second half and early runnings of extra time. I understand why a captain is taking the last pk but a striker definitely should have been up instead of terry, he played an amazing game though, hopefully the Chelsea team can stick together through this final loss, regroup add a few additional key players( preferably someone to replace Joe Cole) and get the treble next season

i'm sure terry would have been taking a pk anyways.. don't think it makes a big difference between striker and defender or anyone else on a spot kick like that. he would've had the prettiest one had he not slipped. just bad luck, probably the worst way to end a game and i wish it had of been on ronaldo's shoulders for the loss.

had drogba not been sent off, terry would have been 6th to shoot for chelsea and they very well may have won. the loss is on drogba's shoulders

MANCHESTER UNITED are CHAMPIONS again!!!

Great to see all my soccer friends at the Cock and Bull today in Rosewood. I won't mention names because some of you have bosses

Thanks to Rod, Brent, Dave, and the rest of the C&B crew for opening up and hosting us. Great atmosphere!

I hate that the game had to end in penalties -- seems to be a lot of that going on lately -- but at any rate I am happy that Sir Alex and a manager of his stature collected his second Champions League title and completed the Double!

Glory, Glory, Man United!
