Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson briefly offered his thoughts to Sky Sports after his side's penalty shoot-out win over Chelsea.

When asked if this was as dramatic as the famous 1999 Champions League final, he said, "Absolutely - it's the way we do it! But that's the first shootout I've ever won in a big game.

"When we missed the (Ronaldo) penalty kick, yeah, you think you're in trouble, but I think we deserve it, we had the best chances in the match.

"In the second half they had a lot of control, but in extra time we got a bit better.

"And it's a great team, a fantastic team. And I thought it was a good game.

"Is this my best team ever? Yes!"
