By winning 2-0 at Wigan Athletic FC on 11 May United ensured they finished two points clear of Avram Grant's team, who began the day level on points but were held 1-1 at home by Bolton Wanderers FC. • A UEFA Champions League triumph this year, 50 years after the loss of eight of manager Sir Matt Busby's 'Babes' in the 1958 Munich air crash, would carry a particular emotional resonance for United, who were previously continental champions in 1968 and 1999. • Chelsea, by contrast, will hope the size of the prize at stake will inspire them to rise above their domestic disappointment and claim their first European Cup in what is their first final. If Moscow appears perhaps the perfect venue for the club's Russian owner Roman Abramovich, Chelsea supporters may find another positive omen in the date of the final: it was on 21 May 1971 that the London side won their first European trophy, beating Real Madrid CF to claim the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup.

  • FC BARCELONA V CHELSEA FC
    First Knock-out Round First Leg Barcelona 23 February 2005 FC BARCELONA – CHELSEA FC ESTADI FC BARCELONA, BARCELONA WEDNESDAY 23 FEBRUARY 2005 at 20.45 UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE FIRST KNOCK-OUT ROUND, FIRST LEG FC BARCELONA v CHELSEA FC UEFA Champions League football returns to the Camp Nou for the first time in 2005 with one of the many ties which could easily have been this season’s final. The match brings together Frank Rijkaard, who won the UEFA Champions League as a player in 1995, and José Mourinho, the former member of the FC Barcelona coaching staff who went on to lead FC Porto to triumph in the competition last year. He re-encounters the club where he worked alongside Sir Bobby Robson and Louis van Gaal in a fiercely competitive tie which will attract sell-out crowds in Barcelona and London as the leaders of the English and Spanish leagues battle for a place among the last eight. As if extra spice were needed, FC Barcelona’s midfielder Deco also re-encounters the coach who helped him to win the European crown last season. Two thrilling matches are in prospect. For this match a ‘security cushion’ will mean that some seats on the top tier will remain empty but the stadium is otherwise expected to be full. A total of 4,750 tickets have been made available to Chelsea FC, meaning that the home club has had to re-locate 3,469 season ticket holders. For the return leg at Stamford Bridge, over 2,000 FC Barcelona fans are expected to make the trip to London – which will signify the Catalan club’s most numerous support of the campaign.
