00:00 Puskas, Kruijf, Beckenbauer and Zidane made their names as great.
00:04 10.45 Moscow time.
00:17 It will be Thursday morning here before we have a winner.
00:20 England have looked at Kohl, Ashley Kohl in the air,
00:25 and may look to get one or two diagonals in.
00:28 It's a foul, Essien, a midfield player by trade.
00:30 Ronaldo has started on the left and has already been fouled by Essien.
00:34 Is this his night?
00:39 He has eight goals.
00:41 First name on Zlatan Kovacic's team sheet tonight.
00:45 Ronaldo unable to keep the ball in.
00:49 Nick Scholes will look for Ronaldo at every opportunity,
00:52 switching the play.
00:56 It's a quick across the ground.
00:58 Ronaldo, a bit taller than Essien too.
01:01 Unable to bring the ball under his spell on that occasion.
01:05 I keep hearing that he owes us a big performance in a big game.
01:11 It seems that anything less than miracle working is a...
01:14 As many people thought that it might be a slightly different...
01:17 Ronaldo.
01:21 Ronaldo.
01:22 Scholes, as of the suspension that cost him his place in Manchester United's last final.
01:32 It's a lovely ball from Everett to Ronaldo.
01:35 Now he's gone away from Essien this time.
01:38 Ronaldo's cross is towards the head of Owen Hartley,
01:41 who couldn't quite grow enough in either, but Ronaldo's skinned Essien there.
01:45 Yeah, that's the type of thrust and purpose that United need from the Portuguese player.
01:51 It was a great ball from Everett in the first place,
01:53 and then Ronaldo did exactly what you want a winger to do,
01:56 get to the line and cross it just away from the keeper's area.
02:00 That's Ronaldo on the left and Hockery's on the right, keeping their width.
02:08 To do that, of course, they must get a consistent supply of possession.
02:14 Ronaldo.
02:19 Everett's got space in behind Essien.
02:22 Ronaldo tapped by McAleady.
02:27 I think Ronaldo's started the game well and...
02:35 Ronaldo winging Everett forward.
02:41 Ronaldo's got on for the return pass.
02:46 He just couldn't quite gather in, but that's a promising combination
02:50 between those two and the Manchester United left.
02:53 Scopes. Brown.
03:02 And he worked.
03:03 Clipped in towards Ronaldo!
03:05 Manchester United strike first!
03:09 And guess who?
03:13 Cristiano Ronaldo's first ever goal against Chelsea
03:17 is his 42nd of this remarkable season,
03:21 and the champions of England are closing in on the European title.
03:26 Essien can't deal with him.
03:28 We've seen Brown already put the balls in the box before that,
03:35 got into an advanced position there, struck it in, left-footed,
03:40 and Ronaldo coming in on the opposite flank,
03:44 must be absolutely for sure something United have spoken about as a tactic.
03:49 And he got the jump on Essien.
03:51 And they found a flaw.
03:53 Big game, big moment, Cristiano Ronaldo.
03:58 42 goals in 49 appearances this season, he's not even a striker.
04:05 Roma.
04:07 Magnificently, I saw it for Portugal.
04:10 And Makalele is there filling in for him.
04:13 Ronaldo.
04:16 Really enjoying himself now, fighting Patrice Ebre.
04:20 You see all the party tricks.
04:27 He's in the mood.
04:29 Brown.
04:34 He's towards Ronaldo again, and he's beaten Essien to it again,
04:37 and Carvalho has to deal with it this time.
04:39 It's a mismatch.
04:40 Chelsea just have to adjust to this, and they have to adjust to it quickly.
04:44 Too much room in there.
04:46 Balek should be tighter to him.
04:48 And Joe Cole and Miluta, we need to see an infant running the ball out of trouble.
04:54 Seeking out Ronaldo again, and Essien has some scabbarding to do,
04:59 what a pass from Rooney.
05:00 Ronaldo's only cross,
05:02 and Tevez, good stop by Cech.
05:04 Away forward, Carrick, and a fantastic save by Piteceg.
05:08 Fantastic ball, Rooney.
05:11 Right across the park, it was Carvalho that let Chelsea down.
05:15 Way forward, Tevez, terrific header.
05:19 To the corner.
05:20 He'd be fine.
05:23 Ronaldo this time.
05:31 It's really caught fire now, this final.
05:33 The goal from Tevez.
05:35 Ronaldo is looking very perky, isn't he?
05:40 To United's defensive area there, but worried about him turning.
05:46 That's what he needed to concentrate his mind, one thing at a time.
05:53 It was late on Ronaldo, and painfully late.
05:57 Carvalho has been yellow-carded very quickly.
06:00 Carvalho has just put a mark on the leg of his Euro 2018 match.
06:10 It wasn't a nice challenge.
06:11 It wasn't.
06:12 High up on the leg.
06:15 Ever.
06:18 Ronaldo.
06:20 Sculls, side of English club sides, taking the main stage.
06:28 And entertaining the rest of Europe.
06:30 It is Manchester United's throw.
06:36 Drumper appeals to the assistant about the throw.
06:41 It's been said and written about, destiny.
06:45 All of the Munich survivors are here as Manchester United's guests.
06:48 It's 25 years since Alex Ferguson's first European trophy success.
06:53 But what about Chelsea's destiny here in the capital of their owners' homeland?
06:57 Frank Lampard.
06:58 And Ronaldo taken lightly by Bale, but it's a cheap shot.
07:08 Too many theatricals, it's been a pretty sharp game so far.
07:14 Waste from Ronaldo.
07:21 Waste from Ronaldo.
07:22 Both teams now, three separate.
07:30 Cristiano Ronaldo.
07:34 Malang doubling up, trying to give him some protection.
07:38 But Everton has been slipped in behind Chelsea here.
07:40 And Everton crosses a goal on it just a little bit too long.
07:43 And Balak yet again.
07:45 This time Ferdinand gets his head to the ball.
07:48 Sculls helped away.
07:50 And Essien fouls Ronaldo.
07:51 He knows that he was exposed for the header.
07:54 And maybe that challenge him at half-time.
07:56 Heywood.
07:58 Manchester United have got it back with heartbreaks.
08:02 Ronaldo.
08:03 Wonderful, endless control.
08:06 Direct to Ronaldo.
08:11 Poitis into the break.
08:14 Ooh, he just coasted away from Essien this time.
08:17 Now he can run at Joe Cole.
08:20 Still Cristiano Ronaldo.
08:21 Cole might actually get a foot on the ball, it is a corner kick.
08:24 Seem to be caught in two minds.
08:26 Cole is absolutely certain it went straight out for a goal kick.
08:28 It's been quiet this half for Ronaldo.
08:32 And I was just about to suggest that he might go searching for the ball.
08:36 Trying to run more centrally at the...
08:40 Ronaldo almost reached it too.
08:43 Cech stayed at home that time.
08:44 Last 15 minutes of normal time.
08:46 And the sign has made the changes yet.
08:57 Ronaldo running away from Bale this time.
09:00 A little isolated out there.
09:03 Joe Cole gets in a challenge.
09:04 A lot of tireless and selfish work from Manchester United.
09:13 Ronaldo.
09:14 Runaways by Carvalho.
09:21 And he's about to break the club's appearance record.
09:25 One of the biggest games in their history.
09:29 Looked like they feel as if they've had...
09:38 The best of the referees' judgement tonight.
09:43 Tevez.
09:44 Ronaldo.
09:47 Evron.
09:49 Four red shirts way in the centre.
09:51 Ronaldo's on the ball.
09:53 Nice to find a cross which...
09:56 Maceleli answers with a no-nonsense clearance.
10:00 Big roar of anticipation from the United fans behind that goal.
10:04 Ronaldo.
10:07 Crossed in over Rooney and Ashley Culler had the confidence to let it run.
10:12 And it goes for a goal kick.
10:13 And I think we're heading for 30 more this time.
10:16 Had the confidence. I just wondered if you knew where Ronaldo was for sure coming in behind him.
10:21 So he's been played since the semi-final three weeks ago.
10:31 Because of a slight ankle injury.
10:33 Ronaldo.
10:37 ACM chased him, attracted him.
10:39 And a big strike on the way.
10:40 Done an awful lot better against Ronaldo since half-time.
10:44 Ronaldo.
10:49 Rooney is to his right.
10:53 Tevez and Giggs are forward too.
10:55 Rooney has managed to smuggle the ball back to Cristiano Ronaldo.
10:59 In towards Tevez, turned away by Terry.
11:01 Giggs gets there, cuts through.
11:04 Giggs gets there, cuts through.
11:05 Straight to Cristiano Ronaldo, not a swell thing to do.
11:10 He's run away from Manelko, he's...
11:13 Fairly tackled by Balot.
11:15 Expecting so much, he hasn't quite produced tonight.
11:19 Manchester United have the extra man.
11:22 They have a free kick, Essien on Ronaldo.
11:25 And there's another yellow coming out here.
11:27 It's Essien now.
11:30 Havran Grant getting animated.
11:31 Must be a final.
11:33 Manchester United clinched the title,
11:35 but missed his previous one in Barcelona in the semi-final.
11:39 The man who got the decisive penalty against England
11:44 in the World Cup quarter-final shootout at Gelsenkirchen.
11:47 The man who scored with his head down at the other end earlier tonight.
11:51 Maybe the best player in the world
11:54 against maybe the best goalkeeper in the world.
11:57 Against maybe the best goalkeeper in the world.
12:00 Saved it!
12:03 Some things are just meant to be.
12:07 The man who has been unable to stop scoring all season.
12:12 Stopped halfway through his run-up.
12:14 And Petr Cech kept him out.
12:16 2008 is another Manchester United vintage year.
12:21 And Cristiano Ronaldo breaks down in tears.
12:26 Ronaldo reprieved by big Edwin van der Sar.
12:29 Well, here he is now.
12:31 Cristiano, the first emotion tonight,
12:34 the first emotion must be relief.
12:36 I don't know what to say.
12:40 When you missed that penalty.
12:42 I think we're going to lose.
12:44 In my opinion, I play good in the game.
12:47 I scored a goal and I missed the penalty.
12:50 I feel, well, the bad day of the season
12:54 and the worst day of my life.
12:55 The worst day of your life.
12:57 Chelsea is always difficult to beat.
12:59 And I think the supporters enjoy watching the game
13:04 and I'm enjoying it as well.
13:06 Brilliant. Thank you.
13:08 Just as they did in 1999.
13:12 They won their place in the competition as champions.
13:16 And they sustained a successful defence of their domestic title
13:21 while adding the European title.
13:24 Undisputed champions of the heavyweight division.
13:27 No medal for Bobby, he says.
13:30 No, I've not earned it. Not this time.
13:32 Last time I scored two goals.
13:35 Cristiano Ronaldo scored the goal tonight for Manchester United.
13:40 Edwin van der Sar made the saves in the shootout.
13:45 Everybody else in the supporting cast will receive a medal.
13:52 There are an extra ten cars.
