The game itself is a real mouth watering prospect with what are undoubtedly the current two best teams in the World going head to head in one of football’s most famous venues, the Stadio Olimpico, Rome; the perfect stage for a match that has the potential to be a classic. Both sides are packed with talent and all eyes will be on Ronaldo and Messi, the current number one two players in World football and either of them could be the difference in winning this game. However, with the likes of Rooney, Eto’o, Henry and Tevez amongst others involved, this game really is a star studded affair and very much capable of living up to its billing in the media as the ‘Hollywood Final’.

If you are looking for a tip for this game, it would have to be Manchester United to win at even money with Coral. The Reds are well experienced in these big games and last year’s victory over Chelsea in Moscow could well prove crucial if it turns out to be a close affair. We also feel that whilst both sides are packed with attacking players, it is United who have the better of the two defences and this is what could ultimately keep the Champions League trophy in the Old Trafford trophy cabinet. Also, don’t be surprised to see this game go to penalties and 12/1 (Stan James) about Man Utd winnnig in a shoot out looks a cracking bet.
