Champions March on Moscow
Calling all football fans! It's time to get your backsides down to your local Russian Embassy and find out about those
visa requirements - the UEFA Champions League Final is coming to Moscow in 2008! UEFA made football history when they announced earlier on in the year that they plan to hold club football's most prestigious event in Moscow, the furthest East the cup final has ever been played. What a chance then for Moscow and Russia to remind the world that they are capable to hosting the big event, and to showcase not just the two best teams of 2008 playing for glory, but also this vast and beautiful metropolis we know as Moscow.
Fans who decide to make the long journey east will be delighted by what they discover in this land which is so often kept segregated from 'the West'. From the towering 'Seven Sisters', to the legendary Red Square and the Kremlin, there's no shortage of things to discover - and football fans being football fans they will no doubt want to explore the raucous, and even raunchy, Moscow nightlife. Pubs, bars, nightclubs and stripclubs - there's a lot to take in!
The Champions League Final takes place on the 21st May 2008, at the impressive Luzhniki Stadium, which once hosted the 1980 Moscow Olympics. You can find Luzhniki Stadium in the southwest of the city near the Sportivnaja Metro Station, which is on the red line (line 1). Click here for a Moscow metro map.
Meanwhile if you're looking for accommodation, head to our sleep section for a selection of excellent hotels and hostels. Of course we've much to offer you in the way of information, so make Moscow Life your first point of call for eating out, shopping, travel, tips and be sure to check out our guide and superb online map too. Finally don't forget to print off your free downloadable PDF guide before you go. It has all the essential info you need and is yours to take with you... See you in 2008!
|  Well that's some more silverware for us. We'll have to ask man city if we can use their empty trophy cabinet on loan.
Manchester United will live forevermore.

| Personally I can't wait for the final in Moscow. If they held it in the UK it wouldn't be any different from another FA Cup Final. I got my travel arrangements done this month, organise it yourself and it isn't that expensive. I'm staying in a hostel, good central location, and got my visa through with absolutely no problems. I agree MUFC travel is ripping its fans off with its own deals but we've got to support the team, and there are ways to get there without breaking the bank. |

| Now the three of us, Man Utd, Chelsea and Liverpool have had time to contemplate attending the final I think we should have a collective display of how ludicrous this decision by UEFA really is We have been doing ours sums and without revealing how I'll get there ( if) it will cost me £550 from Manchester inc sharing a twin room for two nights.Then theres a visa and match ticket so say £700.
If the Russians wanna play in and host the champions league then there should be a visa on each ticket or drop the visa altogether. I cant understand what these idiots think of. Firstly Leeds fans are murdered in Istanbul and they get the final, next its Rome who have disgraced themselves and the year after its Madrid ( because for tax purposes they cant play at Wembley)Is it that simple to get a top job in the organisation? |

| To the bloke at uk`smostsuccesfulclubever', you are so deluded its really quite funny. So your history consists of winning the good old European Champions Cup when you had to beat the winners of the Albanian and Cyrpus leagues. Well done! By the way can you just remind of who you had in your team at the time and which of these players were home grown. Sorry, but I didn't realise that Daglish, Souness, Hansen were local Liverpool lads. As for your recent success in the Champions league, not only do you not deserve to be there, but taking any glory from it you actually devalue your 'history'. To suggest that Liverpool fans are best behaved, you obviously been to many away games of your illustrious team. Give my regards to Kermit!!! |

| Ha Ha, a scouser complaining how others have bought the title how ironic because if Rafa beneathus had spent the money on 4 good players instead of 1 i sure you wouldnt be bemoaning it, and as for the respect you think you earn get over yourselves its probably more fear incase you all decide to go on a trampling spree. That rant over the potential for this years cup final is amazing and if two English clubs do make it lets hope all sets of fans behave themselves and do hte country and their clubs proud. |
