Paul Scholes produced one of the best strikes of his career to send Manchester United into the Champions League final.
The Red Devils beat Barcelona 1-0 at Old Trafford to reach the final for the first time since they won the trophy on "that night in Barcelona", back in 1999.
Scholes collected the ball after a loose pass by Gianluca Zambrotta and unleashed a swerving strike that flew past Victor Valdes and into the top corner.
It was only his second goal of the season and his first since August - but for United fans it was well worth the wait.
Barcelona pushed forward in a tense second half but Sir Alex Ferguson's men battled and threw themselves in front of everything to ensure their passage to the final.
And it looks set to be a heated final confrontation - with bitter rivals Liverpool, or Premier League title rivals Chelsea playing tonight for the right to face Ronaldo, Rooney and co in the final.
