It was 9 years ago, but it feels like yesterday

30 April 2008, finally after 9 years of waiting, all Man Utd fans around the world are cheering the fact that the team will appear in European Champions' League final on this coming May 21. It has been a long wait after they last won the Cup under Sir Alex Ferguson in the historic win in 1999. In fact, this will be only the third time in the history of the club that they will appear in the final. What a under-achievement for a club of this size... The names of clubs like Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Bayern Leverkusen, AC Milan, Porto were never be forgotten by any fans which have broken their hearts over the past 9 years at various stage in this pretigious competition. And tonight, we achieved it without the presence of injured duo Rooney and Vidic. And more memorable, the job was done with a stunning solitary goal by Paul Scholes, who missed the final 9 years ago because of suspension. It's certainly a night full of memories, tears of joy, and unforgettable feelings of what we have missed over the past 9 years...

Moscow (the venue of the final this year), here we come!!!



Scholes, the unsung hero of the night. At the age of 33, although clearly the age has caught up with him this season, till the extent i can't resist to have a go at his performance many many times when i was watching MU playing, probably today is one moment i am really proud to see him playing in the team :)... 9 years is really not a short period of time...
