Topic: Manchester United - Europa League Champions!

What a great way to end the football / soccer season for my Red Devils @ ManU. Solid performance throughout the entire campaign, and a rightfully earned place back in the Champions League next year. I really liked "Man of the Match" Ander Herrera's comments:

“We are very happy. A European trophy you don’t win every day. I lost the final four years ago. I am happy but I want to dedicate this to the victims. This is just football but what happened two day ago was horrible. We want peace in the world - a normal world with respect. We are just football players but we have an audience so we want to work together for a normal world. This happened in Manchester but everywhere we need to have a united world to fight for peace and no more attacks and deaths please."

In response to the tragedy, the two Manchester football teams combined to donate £1million ($1,293,610 US) to relief for victims' families. It's a bittersweet victory, but a solid show of unity in the midst of sadness.
