Champions League: An-All English Final?

Salaar ShamsiMay 1, 2008

Manchester United vs Chelsea in Moscow, it's an all-English final but to enforce a point made by Michel Platini and Sepp Blatter, it really can't be called an all-English final because not even half the players on the pitch will be from England.

Looking at Manchester United:

Edwin Van der Sar—Netherlands

Patrice Evra—France

Cristiano Ronaldo—Portugal

Nani—Portugal

Carlos Tevez—Argentina

Wayne Rooney, Rio Ferdinand,Paul Scholes,Wes Brown, Michael Carrick and Owen Hargreaves are the only English players in the team. However, Ryan Giggs(Wales) and Darren Fletcher (Scotland) could be called "British" players.

Chelsea have foreign players in abundance:

Petr Cech—Czech Republic

Paulo Ferreira—Portugal

Alex—Brazil

Ricardo Carvalho—Portugal

Michael Essien—Ghana

John Obi Mikel—Nigeria

Claude Makelele—France

Michael Ballack—Germany

Florent Malouda—France

Didier Drogba and Salomon Kalou—Ivory Coast

Nicolas Anelka—France

Andriy Shevchenko—Ukraine

Frank Lampard, Joe Cole, Ashley Cole and John Terry appear to be the only Englishmen from the possible starters.

Looking at this, do you think the number of foreign players in a club should be reduced, restricted or limited in any way?

However, both teams are after all from England.
