Well we all know now dont't we? Chelsea finally pipped their jinx team in the champions league and made it to the final. (You there, Mourinho?)Great game it was, the 3-1 semi-final victory over Liverpool, especially with the pre-match verbal spat between Benitez and Drogba.
Anyway, we now look forward to an interesting match on 21 May 2008 at Moscow. The way the English Premiership League ends will have a HUGE bearing on the way the Final is played.
If Man U wins the Premier League, they will have a huge boost knowing they have already secured a trophy for the season. Lose, and they will be totally nervous as they know losing again in the Champions League Final will render their their season as a failure.
The same cannot be said about Chelsea. They have for much of the season, been trying to find their feet under their new manager Avram Grant. Now that they have come so close to winning a double, it is already quite an amazing feat in itself. Winning in either tournament, is then a bonus. The pressure on them is very much lesser than that on the Red Devils.
For those keen to be part of the action in Moscow, better book your hotels early. Here's some hotel recommendations.
Make a vote while on that site too, on who you think will win come 21 May 2008.
