Delighted to be in the final, our first in our history, some confusion around the Sao Paulo FC teamsheet but the site can't save a teamsheet then un save it??
unfortunately for them they had a unavailable player which meant 442N, we were lucky enough to get the goal and hang out for a 1-0 win
Benfica deserve a lot of credit this season, a final so far and in the semi finals of the FA Cup, and they have had to do it facing the best teams in the game!
as they say its a one off game and anything can happen, might be time for us to play 6-3-1D or L?

Phew, delighted with the win after going 1-0 down and seeing Barca switch to the dreaded D tactic. Luckily unfancied sub 25 rated Fabiano came on and made an impact winning a penalty to get us back in the game, then grabbed the win on penalties.
Our first ever final (at least in my time as manager), looking forward to facing an impressive looking Aberdeen side. Will be a different challenge going in as favourites as we are used to being the underdog so far in the cups but hopefully we can produce a good performance..

Well done Theo. Didn't realise I put D as a condition for that early. I normal leave that for 75min or later. I think penalty shoot outs are a joke in this game though. The keepers are far to strong for the strikers, so there's a greater chance of a save than a goal. Should be the opposite, unless the Euros is the new norm. Good luck to both teams in the final!
