CL Final Moscow 2008: United v Chelsea

[TheKingNut]

I'm going for a Man.U 2-1 victory. It's going to be very tight though

[manutd.]

Chelsea is not at home.

It's in Moscow.

Already a thread for this.. will merge it though.

[manutd.]

Cool facts..  :biggrin:

• Ryan Giggs will break Sir Bobby Charlton's club record 758 appearances should the Welshman figure in the final.
• Chelsea have been caught off more times that any other team in this season's competition...48
• Out of all the players contesting the final, Drogba has committed the most fouls - 32.
• A paltry 24,973 people turned up to see Chelsea kick off this season's European campaign at home to Rosenborg. That's roughly 17,500 below seat capacity.
• Chelsea has taken 81 shots on target this season, and 81 shots off target this season.

borg do you think giggs will start?

[manutd.]

Scholes will, considering he missed the 99' CL final, and he got United into the finals with that stunner goal.

Giggs will probably be subbed in late, but he could start.. once again, it's between him and Nani.

[TheGodEmperor]

I'll say nani here, hes the faster, more skillful player at the moment.

[manutd.]

Striking options?

Rooney & Tevez? Or a lone striker with Ronaldo pinching forward?

[cigar omar]

I hope Chelsea are not going to have to face Teves the whole hes my only biggest fear.

We better win because I got a bet with my brother hes overseas now but if we loose I have to wire $50 US to him and if Chelsea win he wires the money to me.

[manutd.]

Big bet to lose there melbourne.  :biggrin:

10 years later.. in the CL final again.

[TheGodEmperor]

yeah I think they'll start tevez and not rooney

[manutd.]

They're both pretty good against Chelsea.. Tevez scored a late winner against them, and Rooney causes havoc in there.

Ronaldo will be covered hard by Ashley Cole, so I wouldn't be surprised if SAF moved him up front to try and avoid Cole or just let Ronaldo run wherever he wants.

He plays on the left;
He plays on the right;
That boy Ronaldo;
Makes England look shite
