Sir Alex Ferguson: Lets focus on Europe Now

Keith GriffinMay 11, 2008

YES! We are Champions again!

Yesterday I watched as Manchester United won their 17th league title and Sir Alex Ferguson's 10th. And how fitting to see Ryan Giggs, on the day he equals Sir Bobby Charlton's appearances, stick the ball in the back of the net to condemn Wigan to certain defeat, and make sure that Chelsea won't be snatching the league from us.

Although a brave Wigan put it up to United and were far from "rolling over", as suggested might happen by the media, United proved victorious with Rio Ferdinand and Nemanj Vidic especially standing out.

Afterward, the players celebrated joyfully in front of a crowd dominated by United fans.

Cristiano Ronaldo and fellow country man Nani danced with the Portuguese flag between them. United fans who didn't make it to Wigan stood instead outside Old Trafford singing ecstatically, "Champione, Champione Oh Wey, Oh Wey, Oh Wey".

Ryan Giggs became the most decorated player in England with a 10th league title to add to his already bulging array of medals.

But as the players and staff danced the night away basking in glory, no doubt Fergie is already focusing on the upcoming final against behemoths Chelsea in the Champions league which, after victory in the league, will leave United with a confidence boost.

Chelsea hopes John Terry and Didier Drogba will recover from injury to face United in Chelsea's first ever Champions League final, and no doubt Fergie will monitor their situations closely as an absence of either or both could prove critical.

Either way, United will enter the stage in Moscow beaming with confidence. "We are bouncing into the final now," Ferguson said. "If we had lost the title, it would have been different."

No doubt Chelsea will be tough opponents—I would have preferrd Liverpool—as Ferguson probably would have too. But a league and cup double would no doubt signal the start of another great team assembled by Sir Alex. "If this team goes on to win the European Cup, it will be my best ever," he's said.

Not many would disagree.

However, Chelsea has already begun to bolster their squad for next season, and as I write this, they have agreed to a fee for Porto right back Jose Bosingwa for £16.2 million. They will hope to outdo us again next season in the title, but will worry about facing a United team seeking revenge.

Anyway, what a great season and I hope United cap it all off with a great entertaining win over Chelsea in the final. Hard luck Arsenal. And well done Liverpool, fourth again.
