Man Utd v Chelsea (UEFA Champions League Final) |
The two best and most consistent teams in Europe play each other in the first ever European Cup Final contested between two teams from England. United have won this prestigious trophy twice in their history. The nouveau riche of Chelsea have never been to the final before. Both clubs are classic examples of you either hate them or love them--there is no in between. United are the richest team in the world and claim to boast the biggest support. Chelsea were competing with West Ham only 10 years ago as the third biggest team in London, before their rise under Roman Abramovich’s ownership. Chelsea know they need to win the Champions League in order to truly consider themselves one of the world’s biggest clubs. Either team could win this historic match which makes it all the more fascinating. When you also consider that both teams are stacked with some of the best players in the world who will be showing off their skills on the biggest stage in club football, then it goes without saying this is a heavyweight fight that should not be missed. |
