“I was shocked when I heard that. I don’t remember what he said after that. In my head I thought, ‘Oh, I didn’t play today. But am I still involved? I can’t remember because I was in shock.”

“I can really feel it. On reaching the field and into the dressing room I saw that my shirt was not hanging. Then I just went, ‘Oh, I’m not in the squad today,’ said the hardworking former midfielder.

In the following year, Manchester United won the final again and Park Ji-sung started the field, but lost 0-2 to Barcelona.  According to reports by ufabet
