The rain poured with intensifying furor as the match reached its climax.

Sudden death. Penalty. Either element is enough to make me hyperventilate. And now, they come hand in hand, tugging my nerves with every passing second.

My mind was completely blank when Anelka took his spot, and the awesome Van der Sar saved. I only remember screaming till I have no more voice and hugging everyone who is a Manchester United fan, in sight.

Ladies and gentlemen, may I present to you, UEFA Champions League winner, the newly crowned Europe’s best - Manchester United!!!

The rain continued to pour as it gets colder. It was a dramatic, and emotional final.

Their efficiency is amazing. The banner was put out within minutes after United claimed the title.

WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS, MY FRIEND!

WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS, WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS, NO TIME FOR LOSERS FOR WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS…. OF THE WORLD!

I screamt and sang at the top of my voice as I jumped up and down in my stilettos. I didn’t care I was the only person butchering Queen’s classic. I simply, went mad!

Bottomline, and something I learnt from 9 years ago.

Believe. Yes, believe.

For they, showed us the power of believing. Once again.

I am high on adrenaline. So high.
