Great Victory of Manchester United










What the Papers say:

THE TIMES:
Fifty years after the Munich air disaster in which eight of the club's players died, Manchester United were last night crowned champions of Europe for the third time... The clock at the Luzhniki Stadium showed 1.34am before the best of England could be separated.

THE INDEPENDENT: Extraordinary, unbelievable, unforgettable. Decided by the Russian roulette of penalties, Manchester United won the European Cup in last night in Moscow but not before John Terry missed the penalty that would have delivered the prize to Chelsea.

DAILY MIRROR: Edwin van der Sar was mobbed by his jubilant team-mates after saving Nicolas Anelka's penalty as Manchester United won the Champions League in a dramatic shoot-out... The men with history on their shoulders passed the ultimate test of courage last night to crown themselves kings of Europe.
