The Fading UEFA Cup

The UEFA Cup, the second biggest european club competition will have its last Final played in Istanbul. No, it wouldn’t actually end, it’s gonna be re-branded as Europa League next year but still the idea of something being the last time sounds interesting.

And in the mean time, hearing that the aforementioned cup is 600m away from you is even more extra ordinary-like. So me and Ardi HAD to walk that 600m to take some of our own pictures of that old, old cup. And perhaps handle it if they let us (They didn’t, damn). Another interesting fact was that they had two guards, each more than six foot tall guarding the cup, rather than proper protection. It’s not like somebody’s gonna grab the cup and run, or is it? I mean who’s gonna be able to sell the UEFA Cup and get away with it? (actually, they probably can).  but then again the winners will probably do that in the football field anyway.
