The WAR is about to begin

vs

If you still dont know what’s happening tonite then i would say you are safe. the temperatures rising, barometers on all time high and fans have all geared up to watch “The Champions League” final between Arsenal and Barca

Finally Arsenal made it but favorites are Barca. With Ronaldinho on one side and Thierry on the other I bet someone is going to skip a heart beat. Some say it will be a free kick from ronaldinho , some say it will be penalties to decide the fate of some 40,000 odd fans watching the match at Stade de France built for France world cup 98.

When asked to Maradona about Ronaldinho, he said ” if he wants to create a nutmeg in a risky situation he does, he is the happy man on the feild”. And Wenger is hopeful about Henry creating a strong inspiration in young guns of Arsenal through his experience. Ronaldinho had so much to say about his experience till now with Barca, and commenting about the trophy no 10 said “The battle to control the midfield is where the game could be won and lost. Arsenal have Cesc [Fabregas], Gilberto and [Aleksandr] Hleb and we have Deco, Edmílson and [Andrés] Iniesta. The midfield is always crucial and this match will be no different. Arsenal are a great team and they play nice football. They have Thierry Henry, Fredrik Ljungberg and Robert Pirès, they are a very balanced side that plays attacking football, and it will be very hard to beat them.”

“The reason I joined Barcelona was to play in finals like this,” the 26-year-old continued. “I’m sure we’re favourites because we have a great team, we create a lot of chances and we have the quality to lift the cup. But we’re up against great opponents and nobody can be certain we’re going to win. I can’t be sure that I will get my hands on the trophy.”

So much for the game that financial benefits for both the team are incredible.The two finalists will enjoy significant financial benefit from their successful runs to the Paris showpiece. If they win at the Stade de France, Arsenal are guaranteed revenue of around €37.3m; if they finish as runners-up, they will pick up approximately €34.7m. Success for Barcelona means approximately €31.5m in total revenue. If the Spanish club lose, their income will amount to close to €28.9m. Included in the total for participating in the final, the UEFA Champions League winners will collect approximately €6.4m, with the runners-up receiving approximately €3.8m.

Well for me Barca is favorite and so i couldn’t talk much about Arsenal, but i like Henry. Last but not least war is lost not by the strongest or the weakest but to the person who sooner or later gives up.The Indian timings for match is 23.30IST and match telecasted on ESPN. And please dont miss this contest which is a way to feel the heat of incoming World Cup Waves.
