The Champions League - Europe's Premier Club Competition

Europe's most prized competition - The Champions League is down to its final stages with just four teams left to battle it out to become the best club in Europe.
Three of these clubs belong to the reknowned English Premier League - Liverpool, Manchester United & Chelsea. No wonder these teams are at the top of the table as well in the EPL. The 4th team is the Italian Pride - AC Milan.
Manchester United will be facing AC Milan Whereas Liverpool will take on their English counterparts Chelsea.
The battle between Gattuso and Christiano Ronaldo will be worth watching. Although Milan do not have an strike power of the likes of Rooney, Drogba or even Shevchenko (who is sorely missed by Milan this season), they'll be glad to have Kaka in the side. After all Kaka is the leading goal scorer in this tournament. At least we know where to expect the goals from for Milan. The big name for Man U is no doubt Christiano Ronaldo, who has won both the PFA Player & Young Player of the year award in the EPL. It will be worth watching this Portuguese winger weave about on the flanks.
For Chelsea, its the likes of Michael Essien & John Terry which is making this team a very tough nut to crack. Liverpool will be counting on its captain Steven Gerrard & Peter Crouch (whose 2nd in The list of top scorers in the UCL) to deliver the stunning blows to down Chelsea.

Well its obvious to picture a Manchester United Chelsea showdown at Athens on the 23rd. But we never know UCL is full of surprises. But as a consolation its guaranteed that there's gonna be an English side in the Finals.
