Owen Hargreaves has dismissed the notion that [/sport/cristianoronaldo/index.html Cristiano Ronaldo] is an 'egomaniac', revealing his former team-mate offered him the opportunity to take free-kicks in the 2008 [/sport/champions_league/index.html Champions League] final. The pair played together for [/sport/teampages/manchester-united.html Manchester United] and Hargreaves says Ronaldo made the gesture ahead of the warm-up before the showdown with [/sport/teampages/chelsea.html Chelsea] in Moscow. The Portuguese had built a fearsome reputation for scoring from set-pieces and netted a stunning free-kick earlier in the season during the 2-0 home win over Portsmouth.

Asked how the duo would decide who should take set-pieces, Hargreaves told BeIN Sport: 'Ask politely, like anything. But to be fair we used to practice all the time and he knew I could take them. 'We used to practice all the time and Cristiano knew I could (score them) and I love that about him. Hargreaves scored nine out of 10 free kicks in training in the lead up to the game in Moscow 'I remember we played, I'd scored a couple, and we practiced before the Champions League final against Chelsea that year, he was on one side of the box and I was on the other. 'I hit nine out of ten into the top corner and Edwin van der Sar was in goal. 'And Edwin came to me and said, "Owen, if we get a free-kick in the Champions League final you've got to take it". 'I said, "I can't take it off Cristiano, that's Cristiano Ronaldo". The Portuguese forward rises highest to head United into a 1-0 lead against Chelsea 'Anyway, we get to the dressing room, we're warming up to go out on the pitch before we go out, nobody is around, Cristiano walks over and says, "Owen if we get a free-kick today it's yours, I saw you practising". Ronaldo opened the scoring in Russia with a bullet header before Frank Lampard equalised on the cusp of half-time.

Ronaldo missed his penalty, which was saved by Petr Cech, but it was Edwin van der Sar who won it for United, stopping Nicolas Anelka's effort after John Terry slipped on the sodden turf and hit the post with his penalty, which would have won it for Chelsea. Ronaldo lifts the European Cup next to team-mate Nani at the Luzhniki Stadium That handed United their third European Cup and Hargreaves insisted that, contrary to popular opinion, Ronaldo was a committed team player. 'That's who he was. Everybody thinks he's like it's all about him and an egomaniac. But if you're good at something he's the first one to see that,' said Hargreaves. 'And that's why I got to take a couple that year because he knew I might score. I admire that about him, I really do.'
