So here we are again, in probably the most anticipated final for years!
Its a tale of two really. Two local rivals, the Madrid derby being held in Lisbon in the sort of final we may never see again, two teams from the same city! And we all thought that the Bayern-Dortmund final of last year and the Chelsea-United final a few years before was extraordinary!
And we get onto the individuals, well, the players arent really the thing to speak of other than Bale's dream final! But the big one is the manager battle. We have on one hand one of the biggest, best and most experienced managers in the business in Carlo Ancelotti, a guy who Cristiano Ronaldo called the best manaher hes ever played for.
On the other hand you have the 'god like' young prodigy in Diego Simeone, probably the best young manager to burst on the scene since Mourinho! A guy who pulled together a rabble of players and turned them into the kings of Spain and possibly the kings of Europe by defeating some of the Champions League aristocracy in the process!! A guy really that everyone wants to succeed!
I think we have a belter in store for us.
