Manchester United Fan In Malaysia

Manchester United will take on Bayern Munich, who they famously beat in the final 2-1 at Camp Nou in 1999. That is the only time United have ever beaten the Bundesliga side. It is surely a tough match for Sir Alex Ferguson but he will be delighted to have home advantage in the second leg.

Overall, I believe that Manutd were in good position to be in the FINAL on 22 May.

Sir Alex’s opposite number
Louis van Gaal
Nationality: Dutch

The reason why Roman Abromovich sacked the self-proclaimed “The Special One” – Mourinho is due to he failed to bring him the Champions League title. Mourinho leads Porto to win the title a year before that and Roman believes that he can do the same to Chelsea.
But..the best Mourinho could achieve with Chelsea is only..SEMI-FINAL !!

Then, he signed the man that led the World Champion – Felipe Scolari. Yet again…Chelsea failed miserably!!

This year… Roman Abromovich gets the guy with wonderful Champions League records. 2 times Champions League champions… and 3 times finalist – Carlo Ancoletti!! He must be very confident with thus guy..but at the end….hahahahahha… they not even past the last 16. The worst result in the past 5 year’s maybe. What should hurt those most …they lost to Mourinho’s Inter Milan 0-1 at Stamford Bridge last night. Soon after that match, Jose Mourinho insisted he was the “happiest person on earth”.

Believe it or not… the best ever Chelsea achievement was 2008 Champions League final (they lost to Manutd..and do you remember how Terry crying on that day?? ) and at that time…the manager is the guy with no successful history – Avram Grant.

And..he has been sacked soon after that!!
