An all English Champions League Final is to be held this year in Moscow, Russia.
With three Premier League teams making it to the semi-finals (Manchester United, Chelsea, and Liverpool), many were putting there bets on two EPL teams battling it out for the best in Europe. Is this a good thing or bad thing? Experts are saying that it will be very competitive but yet it would be a very defensive game.
Man. United were able to defeat the Spanish giants Barcelona with a 1-0 win on aggregate; everyone was hoping to see a use of foot magic by both Ronaldinho and Cristiano Ronaldo but due to injury for Ronaldinho, Ronaldo was the only one impressing fans. Only one goal was produce in two games which was very unexpected; in both of their domestic leagues, goals were not a problem as both teams were able to find the net in almost every game. With a mistake by defender Milito of Barcelona, Paul Scholes was able to Man. U. the lead with a thunderous half-volley from about 25 meters out which was enough to send the "Red Devils" to the Finals.
In the other semi-finals, Liverpool and Chelsea were playing against each other for the 3rd time in 4 years! Chelsea was only able to have their luck once as Liverpool advanced each of the other times. But this year was different as the "Blues" made it passed one of their rivals. Riise gave Chelsea the 1-1 draw in the first match with a very disappointing own goal in the closing minutes! The 2nd Leg was very exciting as again they finished 1-1 with goals from Drogba of Chelsea and one from Torres of Liverpool. Ending a 2nd Leg in extra time could not have gotten better as Drogba and Essien made it 3-1 with only 15 minutes left. Liverpool would not back down as they received a goal from late sub, Babel to make it 3-2 as the final whistle sounded.
May 21, Manchester United vs. Chelsea for the Champions League Final in Moscow!
My Opinion: I don't have anything against EPL teams but having an all English CL Finals will seem kind of boring to me. I know how both of these teams play but I don't think we will see their original playing style in Moscow. The "Red Devils" and "Blues" know how to attack and score but from previous matches played against each other, this will be more of a defensive game rather then attack. This will take some of the excitement out of the game but both teams will show a great deal of competitiveness. I believe that Manchester United will win 2-1.
