Manchester United won the Champions League after beating Chelsea 6-5 on penalties after a dramatic 1-1 draw.
Cristiano Ronaldo headed United in front after 26 minutes but Frank Lampard equalised before the interval.
Lampard and Didier Drogba hit the woodwork for Chelsea before the striker was sent off in extra-time for slapping United defender Nemanja Vidic.
Ronaldo missed his penalty for United, but John Terry hit the post and Edwin van der Sar saved from Nicolas Anelka.
It sparked wild celebrations for Sir Alex Ferguson and his players in the Moscow rain as United lifted Europe's major club trophy 50 years on from the Munich air crash and repeated their previous successes in 1968 and 1999.
Chelsea captain Terry had to be consoled by boss Avram Grant as he broke down in tears after missing the penalty that would have given his side the trophy.
He slipped in his run-up on turf made treacherous by a torrential downpour and sent his kick against the upright.
