I think United had a way better run at the Champion's League as a whole. We fully deserved it if you look at the way we played, and we were also unbeaten I believe.
Chelsea played very well in the final, but we had our chances too.
This is sort of similar to 1999 if you think about it .. they hit the crossbar and the post.. which also happed in 1999. Then United made a stellar comeback (in present date, it would be in the penalty kicks).
If you've seen the 1999 highlights tons of times you should be able to decipher what I'm saying.
