The Final in Rome

As of today (May 6,2009) the final is Manchester United vs. Barcelona. Manchester United will be trying to be the first team to hold the Champion's Cup in two consecutive years. Manchester had some of the hardest games to play in the quarter and semi-finals. Manchester United had to play a tough F.C. Porto in the quarter finals and became the only English team to win in the Estadio do Dragao. While they didn't have a lot of trouble beating Arsenal in the semi-finals winning both legs. In the other side we have Barcelona, which had it rather easy. In the quarter finals they faced a weak Bayern Munich. In the semi-finals they won thanks to the referee and away goal advantage. This is still one of the best finals because its the best team in England playing the present best in Spain.
