It's that time of May again when fans of Barcelona and one of the big four English clubs get
ready to support their team in the biggest match on the European club football calendar.
Only this time, they won't be playing. But that doesn't make the UEFA Champions League final any
less exciting or historic.

On July 30 2009, Fulham began their epic UEFA Europa League journey with a qualifying match
against Lithuanian side FK Vetra.
If you had put money on them reaching the final back then, you'd be a very rich person now, but
not as wealthy as Fulham chairman Mohamed Al-Fayed.
Along the way, the Cottagers have brushed past the likes of Roma, holders Shakhtar Donetsk,
Juventus, German champions Wolfsburg and finally, Hamburg in the semi-final, also the host city of
Fulham's first major final since the 1975 FA Cup clincher.
