What had happened?
Everything began perfect: Cristiano scored the only goal for Manchester with a header (26’). Lampard equalized just before half-time.

After the match Cristiano said: “I thought we would lose when I missed my penalty. I thought it would be the worst day of my life. Now it’s the happiest day of my life.”
