Manchester United won the match in dramatic penalty shoot-out at the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow after both teams locked at 1-1 in normal time and extra time. Manchester United was lucky when Ronaldo missed the his kick and Chelsea took the lead by 3-2 but John Terry slipped on the run up and missed the penalty which gives a hope to Manchester United and Nicolas Anelka’s penalty was saved by Manchester United Goal Keeper Van Der Sar which was enough for a 3rd title for Manchester United. Chelsea paid the price for red card of Drogba. Drogba was red carded for a slap on Nemanja Vidic in extra time.
