The time is upon us again to watch as two teams fight it out for the mantle of best club soccer team in Europe. The Champions League, for the uninitiated, is a multinational competition pitting the previous years’ domestic winners from each European country against each other in playoff setting. The battle was hard and the year was long this time as again, the top tier teams in the toughest continent for football fought it out through eleven months of games.
This season, the Champions League Final is truly a best of the best as two of Europe’s strongest current teams Barcelona F.C. and Manchester United F.C. will play one match to decide who wins all the chips. Manchester will enjoy a rare home advantage this year as the predetermined final location happens to be at Wembley Stadium, the site of the English National Team. Make sure to tune in at 2:45 EDT on Saturday May 28 for the game.
