Man Utd: Park Ji-Sung's 5 Best Moments As A Red Devil

4. First Asian Champions League Winner

Not only was Park Ji-Sung the first ever Asian captain of Manchester United, but he also became the first Asian player to both win and play in a Champions League final. Park sadly missed out on our 2008 penalty success over domestic rivals Chelsea, with Sir Alex Ferguson opting for Owen Hargreaves in midfield. But he still received a medal as a member of the squad, while he got a taste of playing in a final one year later, in the 2-0 defeat to Barcelona. As well as being the first Asian player to captain United and win a Champions League, Park was also the first South Korean to play in the Premier League, winning four league titles to go with many more accomplishments.
