Congratulations to the Barcelona team on a very good team. Manchester can hold their heads up high for a great run. I didn't get to see the end, but I watched a good portion of it with my 14 year old son, who shocked me with how much he knew about this league and some of the players. I enjoyed it very much.

How and when is the location of the championship determined? I was a little surprised it was in Italy where they have had a lot of problems with violent and uncivilized fan behavior. It wasn't long ago that Italian teams played in empty arenas because assembling the fans was an invitation to riots and mayhem.
