Commentary / Champions League Final

Andrew Gray and Martin Tyler are the voices of English Football. They we standing by as Christiano Ronaldo walked up to take Manchester United's third penalty in the Champions League Final versus dead rivals Chelsea.

All the four kicks before his had gone in. Ronaldo had finished the season on a staggering 42 goals having scored only an hour earlier to put his team 1-0 up in the final. The game which finished 1-1 after extra-time was a classic. This moment was huge. The commentary, unforgettable.

Even after Ronaldo's missed penalty, Manchester United went on to win 6–5 and be crowned Champions of Europe. Already Champions of England they deserved the double this year, if only for their always positive attacking style. My team, the Arsenal, had lost earlier in the tournament after a year that promised much, went sour.
