Former Manchester United midfielder Park Ji-sung has recalled being axed for the 2008 Champions League final.

Park missed the entirety of the Champions League group stage with a knee injury in 2007/08, but played every minute of both legs in the quarter-final win over Roma and semi-final triumph against Barcelona.

"We won the Premier League many times and reached many finals, and it was in Moscow that I had one of my saddest moments when I found out I wasn't in the squad for the Champions League final against Chelsea," the midfielder told Utd Unscripted.

"Everyone was great, but I still remember Patrice (Evra) and Carlos (Tevez) in particular, they definitely gave me comfort. I was sad, obviously, but they just hugged me, then I could read their faces how they felt disappointed for me and how sad they felt.

"They wanted to share the occasion with me, with their friend, so I felt really appreciated by their behaviour and their expressions on their faces. But what can we do? I was disappointed before, then once the game started I was just praying for us to win. That's our situation. The atmosphere in our dressing room was like that. After everything, we won the Champions League so nobody can blame anybody!"
