History will be made in the Uefa Champions league irrespective of who wins it…..Here are my reasons why….

1.  If Bayern Munich wins they will be the first club to defend their title successfully in the champion’s league era. The closest a side came was Manchester United losing in the 2008-09 Rome final against Barcelona…United were crowned champions the previous year after defeating Chelsea via penalties at the Luzhniki stadium in Moscow, Russia.

2.  If Atletico Madrid wins it will be the first in their history. The closest they came was in the 1973-74 season when they lost in the final to a Bayern Munich side that boasted the likes of Gerd Muller, Uli Hoeness, and captained by Franz “the Kaizer” Beckenbauer.

3.  If Chelsea wins it, It will be Mourinho’s first for the club but will also Make the Portuguese tactician the 1st manager to win the Competiton with 3 different teams in 3 different countries. He did it first with FC Porto (Portugal) in 2003-04, and then Inter Milan (Italy) in 2009-10.

4.  If Real Madrid wins it, they will become the first team ever to enter a double digit number in terms of success in the European Cup/Champions League. The “Los Blancos” have won 9 titles altogether with their last coming in the 2001–02
Interesting, scenarios but we await the outcomes of the respective Semi final clashes to know which teams will meet in the Lisbon final on May 24th.

 Semi-Final Pairings 1st leg
Atletico Madrid vs Chelsea….22nd April 2014
Real Madrid vs Bayern Munich……….23rd April 2014

Goodluck to all the teams afterall, whoever wins….makes history…
