This is the grandest of stages. This is Lucas, Spielberg and Cameron rolled into one. This is Hollywood’s granddad.
Forget the Milan derby. Forget the El Clasico. And dare I say, forget the Champions League final. On Tuesday, the world will witness the most glamorous event in the world of sport. As Mourinho rightly said, “The world will stop”. Fans and neutrals alike.
People have come to use the word ‘epic’ lightly of late. This game will grab those by the scruff of their necks and change that forever. Because, if there is something that really deserves to be described as ‘epic’, you just need to look in the direction of Old Trafford this Tuesday night. Nothing will ever match up to this. Like Argentina did with the ‘10’ jersey for Maradona, the word ‘epic’ could just be resigned in honour of this meeting. Epic will never be the same again.
This is the night that football historians have been waiting for with their pens loaded. This will be the night when the planets get ready to shift off their comfortable orbits. This will be the night when even the non-believer will pull on a jersey of faith. This will be the night.
May the best team win.
