Four more hours to the final of the UEFA Champions League. The ultimate prize of europeon club championship. The final show down at Stade de France, set perfectly for the occasion. What lie ahead is not just a competition between players, but a battle of men for pride, honour and most importantly, the accolade of "greatest of all".
Barcelona vs. Arsenal. Champion-elect vs. underdog. Ronaldinho vs. Thierry Henry. FIFA World Player of The Year Ronaldinho shall create magic to consolidate his place in the history as one legends of football. Thierry Henry shall let his skills and potent instinct speak for him, silencing the verdicts of inferiority to Ronaldinho. Tonight, uproars of cheers and moans of anguish would rule the night as fans guarding their TV sets with their eyes locked onto it. I shall lose sleep.
I am a fan of neither both the clubs, but i would not miss a match with such magnitude. The Champions League always promised great entertainment and surprises. Episodes of previous finals are ingrained in my mind and i could still vividly recall Liverpool's magnificient comeback the year before. The jubilant milanese thought they already had the trophy within their grasps and yet, came crashing down into defeat in a matter of minutes.
Will Barcelona win the coveted trophy? Or Arsenal would win something great to avoid another barren season? GMT +8:00 3.00a.m. The beautiful game begins.
