UCL final might be in NEW YORK
Former Manchester City defender Micah Richards while speaking with Jamie Carragher and Thierry Henry on the CBS network wholeheartedly supported the agenda of conducting the UEFA Champions League final in New York. The player advertised the fact while Carragher disagreed and said that Liverpool has the Super Bowl.
Conducting the Champions League final in a city like New York could be a really interesting one to see as the people there don’t have much idea about European football, and it’s the pinnacle competition in that category that is being talked about. Being in New York shall certainly attract people who will develop an interest in the sport.
In a new city where European football hasn’t been introduced and where ‘Rugby’ is played in the place of football, it is quite likely to not get a certain level of engagement that the UEFA authorities would expect but certainly would promote the sport in a city where the sport like just another game where a ball is involved.
Special UEFA Champions League finals
The four of the most interesting and iconic finals played between teams in the Champions League is Manchester United vs Barcelona 2010-11, FC Porto vs Monaco 2003-4, Manchester United vs Bayern Munich 1998-99, and Liverpool vs AC Milan 2004-5. These finals were historic as the teams involved in these put out a brilliant performance.
The one against Barcelona United the match ended with a score of 3-1, arguably the best team at that point in time the Spanish side took home the glory by defeating the Red Devils, the Spanish side earlier as well claimed that they were the only team that could win the finals they year and the same they did.
In Liverpool’s match against AC Milan, it was the most thrilling as the Italian side scored thrice right before the second half, and no one expected such a game-changing comeback from Liverpool with Alonso and Gerard coming to the rescue and scoring the winner that made this final as the Reds fifth European success.
