Completed my last ML with FC Utrecht. Just managed to retain the title (my second league tile with Utrecht) after been chased all season by Bayern Munich. I did make it really hard for myself…when I had the advantage I usually fuck it up in the next match…which made me work harder than I should!
This is how the league table looked;
1 FC Utrecht…………...67
2 Bayern Munich……..64
3 Ajax……………….......57
4 Shakhtar Donetsk…...56
5 PSV………………..........51
-------------------------------------
R Spartak Moscow……....24
R Sparta Praha……….......22
My top scorers in the league were:
Rajcomar……………...23
Jun…………………….....15
Eremenko………………..4
Wisse, Leitoe, Kolk……3
I finished top in the group stage after seeing of Man U and Newcastle in the last two games. Beat Roma 5-4 on egg in the Quarter-final, went on to beat Barcelona 4-1 in the Semi-final (a little revenge after beating me in Quarter-final last season). Went on to face Real Madrid in the Final…which was a hard game to my surprise…Real gave me a lot of problems with Ronaldo going close with his headers in a number of occasion and Owen putting my defense through their pace….but I managed to beat them 1-0, with a goal by Jun after some neat interplay with Rajcomar. Champions League winner for the first time :applause:
Schut lift the Champions League Cup for FC Utrecht
Really good season for Rajcomar finished top scorer in the league with 23 goals, his highest tally of goals and was top scorer in the CL with 10 goals. His total goal in his career is 166. Jun managed to overcome his goal scoring drought scoring 5 goals to make it 15 goals for the season, making him 4th top scorer and scoring the winning goal of the CL final. Also Wisse finished top scorer in the Div 1 Cup with 4 goals, which was a consolation after being beat on penalties in the final. The rest of my other players done well…Eremenko had another good season, Agustien a pit-bull in the DMF position, Stekelenburg making some important saves in crucial moments and Schut, the captain, also had a good season at CBT for me.
So that’s the end of my ML campaign with FC Utrecht….eight seasons, seven cups won and 6th in the Team Rankings.….can’t take them any further, there is hardly anything I can improve in the team myself…but I really enjoyed my time with Utrecht though. Might start a ML with them again on PES5
