Here are the latest results I can share about the 2008 UEFA Champions League final:
- The 2008 final was Manchester United vs Chelsea, played on 21 May 2008 at the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow. Manchester United won 6–5 on penalties after a 1–1 draw in extra time. This is the widely recalled outcome of the match.[1][2][3]
- Key moments include Cristiano Ronaldo’s early goal for United, Frank Lampard’s equaliser for Chelsea, and Didier Drogba’s red card late in regulation. The decisive moment came when Edwin van der Sar saved Nicolas Anelka’s penalty in the shootout.[3][1]
- For historical context, this was United’s third European Cup/UEFA Champions League title. The match was the first all-English final to go to penalties and featured a dramatic shootout in Moscow.[1][3]
If you’d like, I can pull up a concise play-by-play, list of penalties, or a quick comparison to other finals.
