Owen Hargreaves Reveals Untold Moment Behind His Iconic 2008 Champions League Goal Against Chelsea
“I had a little wobble and wondered if bottom-right would be best. But I snapped out of it. I’d practised top-left and I had to stick with it. I knew he would still have to pull off a top save to stop it. I backed myself and smashed it top-left, and thankfully it went in.”
Hargreaves’ successful penalty put his side back on track, with a John Terry miss levelling the score before Nicolas Anelka’s sudden-death spot kick was saved by Edwin van der Saar and the Red Devils were European champions again.
