Manchester United won the European Champions League after beating Chelsea. The win came on the 50th anniversery (year) of the Munich crash that Morrissey sang about on the classic B-side song 'Munich Air Disaster 1958' off the 'Irish Blood, English Heart' single.
The match was held in Moscow and United beat Chelsea 6-5 in a rain-soaked shoot out following a 1-1 tie.
In addition to being a b-side song, 'Munich Air Disaster 1958' can also be found on "Deluxe Edition" of 'You Are The Quarry'.

What a tenuous link (Score:1)
If a Mexican sports team win a trophy are we going to put something up because Morrissey has a song called Mexico?
On a seperate note, Man Utd were very very lucky last night and Chelsea should have won.

It is one thing to lose with dignity and respect but I feel it is even more important to win with dignity and respect and the way the Man U players lined up to applaud the Chelsea players was very sporting and full of respect which is such a better way to do it than milking it and mocking the opposition which I am sure would have been the case if Terry would have scored that penalty.
Man U always win dramatically and it was all like a repeat of the 1999 final with Chelsea hitting the post and hitting the bar but remember, we have Van der Sar!!!!!
Have a great summer people, I know I will
