Chelsea vs. Benfica

Now this was a very exciting game from two teams that made all the way from the group stage to the finals. In minute 59 there was a very good pass from Petr Cech to Frank Lampard who passed to Torres. He goes, past one, past two, past the goalie, takes a shot and goal!!!  Then in minute 67 Benfica heads it hitting Chelsea's #28 Azpicuilieta's hand, giving a penalty that was scored. In minute 88 Torres had a chance. He nailed on the crossbar and missed. But then, in minute 93, with an astonishing cross from Frank Lampard, Branislav Ivanovich can make the header to win the game. Frank Lampard can hold the cup making Chelsea's two consecutive UEFA titles. UEFA Supercup: Chelsea vs. Bayern Munchen (again)

Porto vs. Braga

This is the finals of the UEFA Europa League 2011 = Porto vs. Braga. This is the only time in UEFA Europa League history that the finals was a meeting between two Portuguese teams. They both got pretty good chances but none of them were goals until minute 43. In minute 43 came the winning header goal by Radamel Falcao with a cross from Freddy Guarin. The game scores were 1-0 when the game was over and Porto won the UEFA Europa League. And Lucho raises the cup.

Atletico Madrid vs. Athletic Club

This is the finals of the UEFA Europa League 2012 between Atletico Madrid and Athletic Club. Atletico Madrid are looking for 2 UEFA Europa Leagues in 3 years. Falcao knocked the game out with an awesome goal in minute 6. Beats Gorka Iraioz (Athletic Club's goalie) and that gives an early lead to Atletico Madrid. But in minute 33, Gorka Iraioz was so mad when Falcao happened to score another goal for his team. You probably realize that Gorka Iraioz didn't have such a good game. But to make matters worse Diego scored a goal making the game 3-0. That's how it ended in full time and it led to Antonio Lopez  raising the cup. My player of the game was Radamel Falcao. He played very well. He scored two really good goals against Gorka Iraioz. He also scored in two straight finals. (He scored 1 with Porto.)
