My picks for the Champions League finals are:

Chelsea and PSV.

I'm picking PSV on a hunch. AC Milan will miss Nesta (suspension) and maybe Stam who isnt 100% fit.

Should be a good series

My picks are ...

Chelsea and AC Milan as well.

I thought about picking Liverpool, but Chelsea just seems to have everything going their way this season (except for the FA Cup).

AC Milan vs PSV ...

PSV played well, but they wasted a few good chances and their finishing was weak ... their forwards were just shooting the ball right at Dida. I was amazed at how many problems PSV were creating for the Milan defense, which at times, looked a bit shakey ... even ManU weren't this threatening in the second round.

PSV now have a mountain to climb in the return-leg ... I don't think they will be able to topple Milan, and Nesta should be back by then, which would further strengthen their defense.

I think Chelsea will have a small edge, they score 1 goal and Liverpool has to score 2. Not gonna happen IMO.
But they had better play better than that snorefest of today. :eek:

This result Chelsea to buy a whole new team for not winning every competition they were in.

As much they controlled possession, only one clear cut chance.

Good job, LIVERPOOL!!!

WOW !!! Awesome display by Liverpool. I'm glad they ousted the Blues. Even though they have lost to Chelsea three times this season (twice in the Premiership and once in the Carling Cup Final), this victory is sweet enough to make them forget about the earlier disappointments.

I'm pretty sure Milan will come out on top tomorrow, so it defintely looks like Liverpool vs AC Milan in Instanbul. Milan have been my favourites to win the whole thing, but Liverpool have been simply amazing in the CL so far. The Reds are beginning to look like a team of destiny ... I wouldn't be suprised if they beat AC Milan in the finals.

Too bad for PSV, they were the better team over the 2 legs, but soccer is cruel sometimes....isnt that so Jose Mourinho???
No kidding. I knew watching game 1 that the lack of a goal was going to cost PSV. In game 1 they were deserving of at least one but couldn't finish. Too bad. It would have been nice to see both the underdogs battle it out in the final. Great game nonetheless. Who says football is boring?

Today's game was almost a repeat of last year's CL, when Deportivo won over Milan. The Italian giants are very lucky to be in the finals.

PSV clearly played better and dominated large portions of the game, especially during the second leg. Milan probably thought that they could sit back because of their advantage coming in from the first leg. The quick first goal sure changed the mood of the game. Would have been great if the two underdogs faced each other in Istanbul.

Who do you think will win the finals ? I wanna pick Milan, but at the back of my mind, I think Liverpool can pull off an upset.

AC Milan vs Liverpool

Just a friendly reminder that the UEFA Champions League Final is tomorrow. It will be on TSN and TLN at 2:30 pm.

I'm going with Liverpool on this one.

I'm gonna pick the wops.
Liverpool will probably dominate for 90 minutes and then Milan will pound in the only lucky goal of the game in the 90th minute.

You know, the usual
