UCL Final musim ini adalah final satu negara yg ke-3. Setelah 2000, 2003, dan kini 2008.
2000 The 2000 UEFA Champions League Final took place at Stade de France in Paris, France on May 24, 2000. The match pitted Spanish giants Real Madrid against Valencia. It was the first time since the advent of the European Cup/UEFA Champions League in 1955 that two clubs from the same country competed in the final. Goals from Fernando Morientes and Steve McManaman put Real Madrid 2 0 ahead, before Raúl put away the match with a spectacular third goal, scored from almost no angle after running 70 metres across the pitch. The win was Madrid's eighth championship overall and their second in three years. The game is also well remembered for the performance of Real Madrid captain Fernando Redondo, who dictated and dominated the midfield play with an elegance and skill not often seen at this level. Final yg seru ! Madrid memperoleh piala UCLnya yg ke-8. 2003 The 2003 UEFA Champions League Final was a football match that took place at Old Trafford in Greater Manchester, England on 28 May 2003. The match pitted Italian clubs Juventus and A.C. Milan. Milan won 32 on penalties, clinching their sixth European championship. The match itself was exciting in the first half with Conte hitting the post for Juventus and Pirlo hitting the bar for A.C. Milan. Later, Milan had an Andriy Shevchenko goal ruled out after Rui Costa blocked Buffon's line of view from an offside position. However, replays later showed Rui Costa moved out of Buffon's line of sight before the shot. In the second half both teams began to sit back and not create many chances. The penalty-shoot out which ensued has caused controversy among some fans as replays showed that Dida was off his goal line when saving penalties from Trezeguet, Zalayeta & Montero. Buffon was also off his goal line when saving a penalty from Seedorf. Andriy Shevchenko put away the final penalty to win the European Cup for A.C. Milan for the sixth time. Shevchenko becoming the first Ukrainian footballer to win a European Cup winner's medal. In the celebrations that followed Shevchenko was seen to be in tears, it was because a year earlier his former manager when he was at FC Dynamo Kyiv, Valeri Lobanovsky died of a stroke and was thinking about him at the time. A couple of days later Shevchenko flew back to Ukraine and put his winners medal on Lobanovsky's grave. It is said had it not been for Lobanovsky, Shevchenko would not be the great player he is today. Final yg membosankan. Dengan ciri khan Italiano yg defensif, final UCL tsb terasa sangat membosankan. Bahakan ga tercipta gol satupun sampai peluit terkahir berbunyi, sehingga pertandingan harus ditentukan lewat adu penalti, yg dimenangkan Milan dgn piala UCL ke-6 mereka. 2008 MU vs Chelsea/Liverpool Walaupun sudah sangat sering bertemu, tapi partai yg melibatkan Big Four di EPL dijamin bakalan tetep seru. *So, mana yg bikin boring ? *nyelem...
