An all-English final it may be, but – as an avid Man Utd supporter – I can’t help being partisan about this. So, good luck you reds. Bringing the European Cup back to Old Trafford will be the perfect way to commemorate those who lost their lives in the Munich air disaster, fifty years ago. And it will also seal a memorable evening for Ryan Giggs. He looks set to make his 759th appearance for the club, beating Bobby Charlton’s record in the process – a remarkable achievement. Ok, so plenty of CoffeeHousers won’t want the same outcome as I do tonight, but I’m sure we can unite in admiration of the Welsh Wizard – a model professional, and one of the beautiful game’s enduring greats.
