Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson hailed his side's "fantastic achievement" after they defeated Chelsea 6-5 on penalties to win the Champions League in Moscow.
Cristiano Ronaldo and Frank Lampard exchanged first half goals but that was the end of the scoring in 120 minutes of high drama at the Luzhniki Stadium.
"That's the first penalty shoot-out Ive ever won," said Ferguson.
"When we missed the penalty kick (from Ronaldo) we thought we were in trouble but I thought we deserved the win.
"We had the best chances. In the second half they had more control but in extra time we were better.
"It's a fantastic achievement."
