what a fitting end to this surprising season coming up.This season can be considered one of the best to be remembered because of the kind of action & shocks & surprises happened.starting from liverpool stunning revelation in the premier league which propelled them back into champions league after a hiatus of 5 years & even made them title contenders till the end of the season which eventually went into the hands of manchester city after playing a musical chair between the top 4 teams.liverpool finished 2nd still this is a great season for liverpool.
Then,another surprise happened in the cash rich spanish la-liga when atletico madrid pipped real & barca to win the title that went till the last day of the league with atletico & barca playing the title decider.But,it was going to be the season of atletico & it happened so.they needed a draw to win & they did exactly that & won the league after 18 years.great revelation under diego simeone.But the great thing about them is their never-say-die attitude that have made them champions of spain & they are just one step away from becoming the champions of europe.they will play their neighours real in the final this saturday which is expected to be another entgertainning clash.
Both teams have contrasting style of play.Real is bolstered by a threatening trio up front consisting of benzem a,ronaldo & bale popularly known as 'BBC'.they can destruct any defence & they have shown that this season with all three in threatening form this season.And then they have ronaldo who can single-handedly win the trophy for the team.last year their defence let them down.But,this year that is not the case.They a fabulous back four with a mix of veterans & youngsters who are keeping the opposiotion attack at bay as they have shown against bayern & throughout the champions league.The form of captain sergio ramos has been fantastic this season with him heading two goals against bayern at the allianz arena that ousted the champions bayern & propelled them into the finale.The manner in which they thrashed bayern shows they can be extremely lethal agains t any team if they play even close to their bestThe only setback for them would be the absence of xavi alonso who has been such a master figure in that central midfield area.But,real would not think much about that thehy will play their best football as theyh have done so far.
Athletico on the other hand pace their game on strong defending & attacking on the counter & they have been so far very successful this season.Their defence does'nt consist of world class players but as simeone character he has instilled the feeling of fearlessnees in his players that's making them the world beaters this season.Their back four are the best in world this season consisting of godin ,luis,juanfran.these defenders made life hard for every opposition this season including the likes of real & barca.then,their coun ter-attack from the wings have beeen fanmtastic this seson & it has beared fruits for them.Then, ypou can't end the discussion without two of thier best players without them this would not have been posssible.Diego costa & Thibaut courtois have been fantastic this seson.courtois has becomne the best goalkeeper this season with almost every imposssible looking saves done by him.even mourinho said the difference between the two teams in the 2nd leg of the semi-final has been the saves from courtois.So,he is such an asset for the team in the final & he can be a real hurdle to cross for the real players.Then,comes costa their leading goal-scorer for the team.He is not as fluent as his counterpart but his passion for the game & his ability of at the right place place at the right time makes him the most dangerous player.But,he is doubtful for the finale beacuse of an Hamstring injury that can really give a slight advan tage to Real madrid.They can also misss their playmaker adra turan but as they have already shown against chelsea & most parts of the barca last league game that they play as a team & does'nt depend on just a single player to win.So,this confidence can help them to lift the trophy.
so,let's see who becomes the champios of europe this year!!!!
