Blues v. Red Devils: Take 2

The Underdog's Underdog: Avram Grant celebrates Chelsea's famous semifinal victory over Liverpool.

They say a picture's worth a 1000 words... where to start? The much-maligned Avram Grant's victory pose? On his knees and without a smile. No one is even looking at him. Grant celebrates his team's achievement alone in a crowd. Despite all the turmoil and criticism, the Blues are comprised of consummate pro's who've gotten to the Final because of their individual excellence and staunch pride in their game. If Grant pulls off Chelsea's first CL title, half of Europe will dine on crow that night.


Europe's Darlings: Manchester United celebrate their second consecutive EPL title.

Having just held off Chelsea for the league title in the last match of the season, United are riding high as a new golden era under Sir Alex Ferguson is ushered in. Cristiano Ronaldo has been showered with individual awards over the last month and would like nothing more than to cap off this amazing season with his first-ever CL trophy. Do the Red Devils have one more magic night up their sleeve?
