The Night of "The Champion of Champions"

So today is the D-day…the UEFA Champions League Finale! I am writing this blog just before the kick-off (around twenty minutes to be precise!)

Well this has been an interesting season of European Football….specially what has happened in Serie A which was rocked by the match-fixing scandal. The absence of Juventus was badly felt by every one and as far as my memory goes back, there has not been a single champions League till this one which was played without Juventus! What a season it has been for AC Milan...The way they have emerged from the clouds of Match-fixing is truly commendable!

What a season of European Football it has been!!! Full of stunning performances which were well complemented by equally lack-luster performances. Not even in my wildest dreams, I imagined a rematch of 2005 Finale between Liverpool FC and AC Milan! Every one is talking about “Revenge”... but I believe that it’s going to be a hell of an encounter…it’s a mouth watering clash between two European Giants who have great precedence behind them!!!

Well it’s almost the time for Kick-off and I am off to catch this most anticipated clash of titans!!! Although I am little biased towards AC Milan, I hope that the best team emerges as the “Champion of Champions”!!!
