Champions League

The 2009 UEFA Champions League Final has the potential to be one of the greatest finals in the history of this glorious tournament.

At one end, Manchester United - looking to win back to back titles and complete another successful year which saw them once again win the Premier League. The Red Devils will be led by the FIFA World Player of the Year Cristiano Ronaldo.

At the other end, FC Barcelona - looking to win their first title since 2005/06 and complete a successful year which saw them win La Liga. They will be led by arguably the greatest player in the world, Lionel Messi.

Messi vs. Ronaldo. Spain vs. England. Barcelona vs. Manchester United.

It doesn't get much better than this.

Which brings up an interesting question... just what was the greatest Champions League Final in the history of the modern era. For our sake, let's start from 1992-93 when the tournament was officially named the "Champions League".

Looking back at the games and having seen most of them - in my opinion, there are only two choices.

1999 UEFA Champions League Final
Manchester United - 2
Bayern Munich - 1



2005 UEFA Champions League Final
Liverpool - 3 (3)
AC Milan - 3 (2) *Penalty Kicks*



So what do you think?
