The Champions League Final between Manchester United and Barcelona will be played today at 2:25 EST on ESPN. The Champions of England vs the Champions of Spain, Christiano Ronaldo vs. Lionel Messi, it’s a dream final set at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome. I’ll be watching on ESPN 360, which by the way, is great.

A good way to get caught up quick, check out these 10 incredible plays (above) compiled by ESPN.

Ruby Beach is known for its driftwood and skipping rocks. Located off highway 101 in the Olympic National Park, it serves as the barrier between the Pacific breakers and the coastal firs.
