On the previous 3 occasions, the team that has managed to beat Barca in the semis has gone on to lift the Cup: Real Madrid (2002), Manchester United (2008) and Inter Milan (2010).

 

This trend seems to have continued ^

Maybe bring back Didier just for the Super Cup...

Has anybody else watched that great documentary Kings of Europe about us winning this? It's amazing I've watched it like a dozen times.

Its funny too I still get nervous when I watch the highlights if not only the final but the other games too. Especially at the Bridge when Barca hit the post.

does anyone have the clip of Romans reactions just after the penalty save from robben ? Absolute quality.

 

A split screen and that of the man city owners after that aguero goal would be nice, shows who really cares about their club.....jus sayin !

Never gets old.

A reminder...

Just found this angle of Drogba's goal from the stands. Absolutely mental. 

 

 

I would pay obscene amounts of money to relive that night.

Still find Drog's "run-up" unbelievable!  Remember nearly breaking my niece's hand!  Ahh, happy memories - more to come this season *finger's crossed*

HISTORY.

Funnily enough, I reckon we're more likely to see this trophy a couple more times, than we

are the Europa League again.

Great thread this eh

 

I never get tired of it.

HE'S DONE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If I would have been watching it, I first would have been bouncing up and down on my bed out of nerves when it came down to penalties, and then out of happiness after Drogs sank his. I then would have run around the house screaming "They won! They won! They won!"  I would have been told by my sister to shut up (she even told me and my dad to shut up when we shouted after the Blackhawks won the last game of the Stanley Cup last summer, saying it was "just a hockey game."), but who cares.

Every-time I re watch it I still feel nervous, it still gives me one hell of a buzz, has to be the greatest football night of my life

This old thread..........i have no idea why it keeps getting bumped

Probably the more favourable of the two teams. Bayern didn't look anything special tonight, I hope our boys are well up for it. Both teams will be missing key players.

We will win!

P.S. Note to RDM - don't go to penalties with a German team.

hehehehe!

It's pretty staggering to think how different things would be today if we didn't win the shootout.

They said the Germans never lose in penalty shoot outs.

 

 

Ashley Cole " They do now ".

I loved the smug look on his face as he walked away after saying that.

Will never forget kneeling inches in front of the telly shaking all over, definitely one to tell future generations about.

I got chills just watching that. Thanks FLMJ, for sharing that.  That was awesome.

Must of read over this thread about 3 or 4 times, the lack of people on here during penalties is hilarious compared to the match. Everyone was probably kneeling at their TVs doing some sort of arm motion with their hands whilst praying! Amazing night, although had the worst headache throughout it. They do make it look difficult but I wouldn't have it any other way, love this club.
