Patrice Evra has referred to Sir Alex Ferguson's team talk before the 2008 Champions League final as the finest he experienced during his career.
Manchester United claimed their third European crown as they beat Chelsea in an all-Premier League final in Moscow. The contest is best remembered for John Terry's slip in the penalty shootout, which kept the Red Devils in it before Edwin Van der Sar saved from Nicolas Anelka.
It was Ferguson's second personal triumph after the victory of 1999 and it was his emotive speech before the clash that Evra believes was a difference maker. The Scot didn't discuss football, instead referencing the life issues his players and their families would've faced.
