Chelsea drew 1–1 and Manchester United won 2–0, thus making Chelsea runners-up to United for the second consecutive season. Chelsea played in their first UEFA Champions League Final, against Manchester United, making it the first all-English final in the competition's history. After extra time the score was 1–1, and the game went to a penalty shootout. Captain John Terry had the opportunity to win the title for Chelsea, however, he slipped as he took his shot and missed. Manchester United ultimately won the penalty shootout 6–5 after Edwin van der Sar saved Nicolas Anelka's penalty. Chelsea went the entire 2007–08 campaign without suffering a single defeat at home. In spite of this, this was the first season in four years that Chelsea had finished the season without a trophy; the lack of silverware led to Avram Grant being sacked three days after the Champions League final.https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/c/chelsea/7418774.stm Grant sacked as Chelsea manager 2008-05-29 24 May 2008 BBC Sport
