The number one reason why we want an El Classico final is to see the two best players in the world face off at the highest level.

A Ronaldo Vs Messi at the UEFA Champions League final will to an extent settle the 'who is the greatest' debate between the two.

The most important face off between the two was at the UCL final in 2008 when Ronaldo was playing for Manchester United. Barcelona finished the night winners with Messi scoring a crucial second, but at that time, Messi was not the invisible being he is now, while Ronaldo had not become the efficient machine he is today.

The rivalry between the two had not become intense like it is today.

The two legends of the game will probably never met in a World Cup final and after La Liga, Spanish Super Cup, international friendlies and Copa del Rey meetings, a UCL final will be the perfect platform for the 'greatest' to steal the moment and ink his name in the history book as the best ever.

2. A Final of Equals

With Barcelona already through to the final, a final of equals will only be guaranteed with a Real Madrid meeting.

No disrespect to Juventus, but Barcelona will too much of an opponent in a UCL final.

Unlike the two past finals-Bayern Munich Vs Borussia Dortmund and Real Madrid Vs Atletico Madrid- an El Classico final will be a final without any pre-match favourite.

3.The Excitement

Boxing was in the forefront again as two of the sports' best face off in the ring.

Football need that moment again.

An El Classico final will bring the whole world to a stand still.

How else can we advertise this beautiful game than with an El Classico UCL final.
