Champions League Update: Finals

RibberyThe tournament that started with 76 qualifying teams last summer has been whittled down to 2 finalists as Internazionale will face Bayern Munich in the Champions League final on May 22. The final will be broadcast live on FOX and will likely be the world’s most watched sporting event.

Inter Milan held their spot in the final with an impressive defensive stand against favored Barcelona. The Italian club was outshot 17-1 after being reduced to 10 men in the first half. Bayern crusied comfortably past Lyon with a hat trick from their Croatian striker, Ivica Olic.

Bayern winger Franck Ribery is filing an appeal to determine if he will be eligible for the final after being dismissed from the semi for a challenge that earned him a straight red card. Ribery, who was disfigured in a car accident as a wee lad, is a good example of why looks aren’t important if you’re a world class footballer.
