UCL Final: Manchester United (N)

Today is the last game of the season, and the biggest. The board were "happy" that I won the league, and got a 5 year extension to my contract! Looks like I'll be an Arsenal manager for a while now. My friend not only got Portsmouth promoted, but won the League 1 title too!

So here we are. Wembley. The arena where dreams really do come true. In real life, I went there to see Swansea City FC beat Reading FC in the Championship Play-Off Final 3 years ago. What. An. Atmosphere!

Back to the world of FM, well, this game is huge. And due to the week's rest from the last game, the team are fit and ready, barring those lads that are REALLY injured.

Cazorla not long back from injury so doesn't feature. No Zieler either so drafted in Damian Martinez, a good young keeper!

GAME ON!!!
29m: What a SCREAMER! Good passing eventually gets to Walcott on the right hand side of the box, and he takes a first time shot and it beats De Gea and drifts beautifully into the top left corner of the net! 1-0
34m: Lovely counter attack leads to Fellaini sliding the ball to Giroud, who beats his marker and smacks the ball into the net to become the tournament's leading goalscorer! 2-0
37m: Relatively instant riposte from United, sees Giggs thump home a 4 yard shot from a Kagawa cross. 2-1
42m: Typical. Cassani gets too agitated and receives his second yellow in only the first half. Change of formation to a 3 at the back, with Fellaini dropping to the DM position as an Anchor. Ox goes to CM with Garmash. Also changed focus to "Counter".
HT
46m: Fellaini passes to Denys, who lifts a ball to Theo, heads down to Giroud on the half volley... GOOAOAOAL!!! 3-1
53m: Theo screams down the right wing and gets to the by-line, distributes the cross and who's there picking up his hat-trick?! OLIVIER GIROUD!!! 4-1
57m: CONTAIN!!!
75m: Theo is knackered, bless him! Really put himself on the line for this one. Cristian Tello comes on for him.
84m: Wellington Nem is even more tired than Theo was! On comes Wilshere.
90m: Doesn't really matter now, but Vidic is sent off for a 2nd yellow.
FT
AND THAT'S THE GAME!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW YYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
CHAMPIONE CHAMPIONE OLE OLE OOOOOOOLLLLLLEEEEEEEE!!!
