United lifted the Premier League title for the 10th time on a nail biting last day of the season. Players such as Michael Essien, Michael Ballack, Didier Drogba, Ricardo Carvalho and John Terry epitomise the side’s strength and hard work but with ability to match. With these men alongside Joe Cole, Frank Lampard, Florent Malouda and the immense presence of goalkeeper Petr Cech the team is solid and dependable, and although the aesthetics of the side are often questioned their results speak for themselves. As close as both teams have been, their contrast of styles mirrored their contrasting seasons. From back to front there is a power and a drive that can either grind out victories or demolish the opposition into defeat. The game ebbed and flowed, with each team imposing dominance at different moments but with so little between the sides, defeat and victory were never so finely in the balance. United boast a wealth of attacking riches. In Cristiano Ronaldo, Wayne Rooney and Carlos Tevez, the side has three men that can turn a game and who between them have scored over 70 goals this season. Their entirely English midfield of Paul Scholes, Michael Carrick and Owen Hargreaves blended perfectly the qualities of hard graft, excellent distribution, defensive durability and attacking guile.

In defence, Patrice Evra – arguably the best left back in the world – joins Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic – two of the best centre backs in the world – in a hard working and rigid rearguard. Despite the stadium’s closer proximity to Red Square then Trafalgar Square and the Champions League logo bedecking every surface in view, this was unequivocally an English Premier League game. The tempo of the match was furious and the tackles, full blooded. Jimmy Rollins may dictate the personality of this team, but Utley has emerged as its leader. To paraphrase a line from Crocodile Dundee – “Call that a final?”….”Now THAT’S a final!”. For all the doomsayers predicting a dreary, stagnant snooze-fest to equal the boring FA Cup Final Manchester United and Chelsea served up in 2007 – how wrong you all were? Even as the clock ticked past one in the morning at Moscow’s Luzhniki Stadium it would have been hard to force a yawn as the Premier League winners and runners-up played out an action packed Champions League final – the first to be contested by two English clubs. It was testament to both teams, so different in style but so evenly matched over an entire season, that the width of a goal post was all that separated them.
