In the Porto Heat
A sonnet on the EUFA Champions League Final 2021 between Manchester City and Chelsea
Manchester City and Chelsea prepare
For their meeting in the Champions League
Players dream of glory and daring dare
To cap this fanless season of fatigue
To Portugal from England they must fly
To face each other in the Porto heat
Just ninety minutes more of do or die
The fate of their team's glory in their feet
Which blue the light or royal will succeed
In scoring more goals than the other team
And hold aloft that elusive trophy
Of which clubs across the continent dream?
No matter which this nation knows this day
It's coming to football's home the UK!
In 2020, in Porto, Portugal, the final of The Champions league will be played between Manchester City and Chelsea. They are both from the English Premier League which few can doubt is the greatest football league in the world. But who will win? Well for me, it’s Manchester City. They have been so consistent which is why they won the Premier League easily this year. This said Chelsea have been on a great run since ditching Frank Lampard and installing Thomas Tuchel as manager and they will give Manchester’s Blue Moon Boys a good run for their money.
It’s difficult to understand why EUAFA didn’t move the final to the UK as both teams are from there but no they moved it to Porto in Portugal.. at least we can definitely say it’s a ‘neutral’ venue!
So it’s a hard one to predict! Maybe this will help:
