The Champions League Final - Brace yourselves
Posted 20-05-2008 at 03:57 PM by UsR EXTR3ME
Wednesday's Champions League Final is one that will break records, as the first ever all-English Final.
It is this glorious competition that needs teams such as Man Utd and Chelsea in the final, not only representing English football, but battling for English and European bragging rights.
The FA Cup Final is made to rot when these two teams force millions of fans to suffer through 90 minutes (or more, as was the case in 2007) of disgusting, defensive football.
Liverpool have proved 2 out of 3 times that they can produce a final, whether English-only or the Champions League, that will live in the memory for years to come.
The 2006 FA Cup Final, Liverpool 4-3 West Ham. Game of the season by a mile. 2005 Champions League Final, Liverpool 3-3 AC Milan after coming from 3-0 down, to win on penalties.
They were unfortunate to lose last year's final against the same Italian opponents, in a game that was unfortunately appearing likely for a Milan win.
But Liverpool aren't here this time, as one of the continent's biggest rivalries takes place.
Expect skill, expect pace, expect power - the Champions League Final is about style, hopefully that message will be delivered to both teams come Wednesday night.
Man Utd can win the double with a win, Chelsea want revenge for losing the Premier League title for the second year in a row.
Any team could win in Moscow.
Fasten your seatbelts, and brace for impact.
