Manchester United, Kings of Europe
21 May 08 by Bill
Manchester United are the kings of europe after a thrilling penalty shootout which saw Terry and Anelka miss from the spot to give the title to United.
Manchester United started the match very strong and dominated everything for the first half an hour or so. Ronaldo put the ball past Cech to put United in the driving before a lucky break away gave Chelsea a way back into the game. The goal sparked something in the Chelsea camp and they came back strong. United were on the back foot for much of the game after that but still managed to hang on and fully deserved to be crown Champions of Europe.

Hey no worries, if you have any more questions feel free to ask.
For your school work you might like to mention that Manchester United won both the English Premier League and the Champions League this season. In recent times they have been the most successful English club bar none. They have won the Premier League 10 times out of a possible 16.
Coupled with the on pitch success, Manchester United have made significant efforts to promote the brand in other parts of the world, Asia in particular and have probably the most well known Asian player in Park ji-Sung. He was described as “the Beckham of Asia” when he signed and in his first season the club sold more shirts with his name on than any other player!
