Paul Scholes, who missed his team’s last Champions League final through suspension, ensured his place in this year’s championship with a phenomenal strike.
Fourteen minutes into the match, Scholes intercepted the ball 30 yards out from goal, took one touch and smacked a blistering, swerving strike into the back of the net.
Top corner from 25 yards out is NEXT LEVEL!
Not to be outdone, Didier Drogba hoisted his team on his back and carried them to the promise land. Breaking through the stiff Liverpool defense, Drogba hammered home the game’s first goal.
But a silky finish from Fernando Torres and a thunderous blast from Ryan Babel meant Drogba’s job wasn’t quite finished. Not to worry, the powerful Ivorian sealed the deal in overtime when he beat the keeper to the near post with a surgically placed finish.
