It could have been a wonderful night for the Romanian football fans. And especially for Steaua supporters. But it wasn't meant to be. The final of the UEFA Cup will see Middlesbrough and FC Sevilla trying to win their first European trophy in history. Both are in front of a big event, and they are certainly going to do everything in their power to take it home.
Maccarone, the man who practically qualified Boro in the dying seconds of the quarterfinals
and the semis, has a big dream for tonight's clash: "I want to stay on the bench tonight. Why? Because I can enter in the final minutes and score the winning goal again". It could be McClaren`s final chance to win a trophy with an English side, considering that it would be pretty hard to do that with the England national team.
Sevilla are coming after an away win at Malaga. The Spanish side tried to keep some players on the bench, especially for the UEFA final. Faced with a pretty "quiet" finish in the Primera Liga, Sevilla have every motive to feel confident for tonight's game. Even if they are too in front of the biggest performance in the club's history, the players seem more than motivated for conquering the crown and take it back to Sevilla. Spain could win both of the European cups this year, if Sevilla and Barcelona win the finals they are caught up into.
The Middlesbrough - Sevilla final will start at 20.30 CET, at Einhoven. Another interesting piece of information is that the UEFA competition had 4 different winners in the last 4 years. No matter the winner tonight, it will certainly have a new one again.
