The main photo above shows a delighted Anderson holding aloft the
Champions League trophy after Manchester United's victory in the final
against Chelsea on 21st May 2008. United won 6-5 on penalties after
the match had finished 1-1 a.e.t. Anderson only came on a last minute
sub for defender Wes Brown - clearly so that he could take a penalty if
the need arose - and he held his nerve admirably to score with United's
sixth penalty, putting them ahead 5-4. Saloman Kalou then equalised
for Chelsea, but Ryan Giggs quickly restored the lead and when
Nicolas Anelka missed with the next kick the cup was United's for the
third time in their history.
