Adriano, who scored twice, was extremely excited and ran to the corner flag to perform a sliding knee strike.
At the finish line of the slide, Li Shiguang and the Leeds United substitutes, equally excited, had already run along the sideline to the spot, grabbed Adriano, and pinned him down... Then, Bale, Kaka, Modric... every Leeds United player ran up from behind, jumped into the crowd, and piled on top of him!
On the other side...
The Manchester United players were completely stunned. The defenders all collapsed to the ground, covering their faces in pain.
Cristiano Ronaldo stood with his hands on his hips in the center circle, his gaze fixed on the Leeds United players celebrating wildly in the corner area, a wry smile playing on his lips...
The Portuguese didn't know if the outcome of the match would take another turn.

For the remainder of the game, Manchester United's attacks were more bark than bite, with very few shots actually eliciting a save from Neuer.
Time passed by, second by second.
finally.
After Berbatov missed Giggs' pass, Mikhail, standing outside the Leeds United penalty area, blew his whistle three times – two long and one short!
The match is over!
After a fierce battle lasting 120 minutes.
Leeds United overtook Manchester United 2-1 to win the 2007-2008 UEFA Champions League title and ascend to the highest throne in European football!
On the Leeds United bench.
