For Park Ji-sung, 2009 so very nearly ended on an even greater high than the astonishing season before.
Because, while his Manchester United team mates were hoisting the European Cup above their heads in Moscow in 2008 after their dramatic penalty shootout win over Chelsea, Park was left to ponder what could have been.
Of course, with United’s victory he became the first Asian player ever to be crowned a European champion, but after being left out of Sir Alex Ferguson’s match day squad for the final, Park always felt a bitter-sweet twinge in relation to the win.
