Tomorrow is the Champions League final, and I’ve watched the below video more times than I should admit. Didn’t want to go to work? Watched video. Tired of one task? Watched video. Tired of another task? Watched video. Didn’t want to answer that email yet? Watched video. Watched video. Watched video. Watched video. Watched video.
I am a sucker for the uplifting and inspirational. I am a sucker for the the most clichéed fromage. And I am not (that) ashamed.
Enjoy! There are goals. There are golazos. There are men hugging. There are men crying. And there are some very happy fans.
Tomorrow’s match should be fantastic. As Ray Hudson says in a wonderful little interview about the final:
All the naysayers want to turn this beautiful avocado over and say, “See, they’re not that good.” Doesn’t matter to me. It won’t change my feelings about this team. It’s not just about the trophies with Barcelona.
But I wouldn’t deny United their chance of victory. The way they go about their business, their fans, their history — I had a No. 10 Denis Law shirt as a kid in Newcastle. Even the Liverpool fans recognized what a magnificent club it is. So if Sir Alex Ferguson lifts the trophy, it won’t be heartbreak.
I just hope football is the winner. These are two fabulous teams. It’s a dream final, man.
I hope football is the winner too.
