It's an all-English final in the Champions League people!

A historic feat is about to happen in Moscow, Russia as the 2008 UEFA Champions League final will be between two teams from the Premiere League, Chelsea FC and Manchester United. It will all take place on the 21st of May, 2008 at the Luzhniki Stadium.

You read it folks, the final game of the 2007-08 UEFA Champions League will be contested by the Manchester United Red Devils and Chelsea, making it an all-English club final for the first time in Champions League history. This is only the third time that two clubs from the same country have contested in the same Champions League Final, the others being the 2000 and 2003 finals.

In a series of coincidences, during the week Manchester United qualified for the Champions League final in Russia, Russian side Zenit St. Petersburg advanced to the 2008 FA Cup final hosted at the City of Manchester Stadium in Manchester, England. How about that huh?

The 2008 UEFA Champions League final will be played on natural grass, temporarily installed for this match replacing its artificial turf. Due to the time difference, this will be the first European Cup final to be played over two days, scheduled to finish at 0:30 local time if there are no extra time and penalties.

Fans that will lord the historic match can use their respective tickets to the game as a form of visa.

''Following high level discussions involving the UEFA President, Michel Platini, the Russian Government and UEFA are pleased to confirm that all supporters will be able to use their match ticket as a visa entry to the Russian Federation for a period of 72 hours,'' an official statement said.

''The visa exemption applies to all ticket holders coming to Russia for the final in the period between 19 and 23 May 2008. Supporters will need to present a valid match ticket, a valid passport and a completed immigration form upon entrance to the Russian Federation.''

''Anyone overstaying the 72-hour entry period will then have to pay the fee for a regular visa when leaving the country.''
