Top 5 all-English Champions League ties

#2 Manchester United 1-1 Chelsea (Manchester United won 6-5 on penalties), Final 2008

The first-ever all-English final saw the Premier League champions Manchester United take on runners-up Chelsea in what was an extremely tense affair.

Wes Brown floated a fantastic cross for Cristiano Ronaldo who directed a fantastic header into the bottom left corner and give United a deserved lead. Ronaldo carrying on his ever-present love affair with the Champions League with another huge goal for the red devils.

Chelsea received a huge slice of luck to equalise before halftime as Michael Essien’s deflected effort couple with a slip from Edwin Van der Sar found it’s way to Frank Lampard, who had an easy to finish to give the blues a foothold back in the tie.

Both sides hit the woodwork in the second half but couldn’t find the edge. More of the same followed in Extra time and the game would eventually go to penalties. This first penalty shoot-out in a European cup final since 2005.

Both sides would score their first two penalties each, with Carlos Tevez and Michael Carrick doing the business for United, with Michael Ballack and Juliano Belletti keeping Chelsea in the tie.

Ronaldo stunningly missed his penalty, before Lampard put Chelsea in the driving seat. Owen Hargreaves, Ashley Cole and Nani all scored their respective penalties to put Chelsea within one penalty conversion from their first ever Champions League trophy.

Captain John Terry stepped up but slipped as he struck the ball, with his penalty crashing against the post. Sudden death followed and Anderson, Salomon Kalou and Ryan Giggs all scored their penalties before Nicolas Anelka missed and handed United their third European Cup and completed an illustrious double of both the Premier and Champions League.
