Clash of Champions

The stage is set: Manchester United versus Chelsea F.C. in the finals of the world’s greatest club competition.

Paul Scholes, who missed his team’s last Champions League final through suspension,
ensured his place in this year’s championship with a phenomenal strike.

Fourteen minutes into the match, Scholes intercepted the ball 30 yards
out from goal, took one touch and smacked a blistering, swerving strike
into the back of the net.

Top corner from 25 yards out is NEXT LEVEL!

Not to be outdone, Didier Drogba hoisted his team on his back and
carried them to the promise land. Breaking through the stiff Liverpool
defense, Drogba hammered home the game’s first goal.

But a silky finish from Fernando Torres and a thunderous blast from
Ryan Babel meant Drogba’s job wasn’t quite finished. Not to worry, the
powerful Ivorian sealed the deal in overtime when he beat the keeper to the near post with a surgically placed finish.

Securing your club’s first Champions League final with two goals is NEXT LEVEL!

The Red Devils and the Blues will now face off on May 21 in Moscow for the right to raise the Champions League trophy.
