The main trophies of the UEFA Champions League were brought to Kiev. In a month or so, the Ukrainian capital will take the finals of the women's and men's leagues for the first time in history, and now trophies have already been carried along the central street of the city, the TSN. 19:30.

According to Khreshchatyk, two cups were carried to the rhythms of the drums, and they guarded the trophies, like VIP officials. A crowd of football fans around was furious, because from the very memory of what outstanding footballers held this prize in their hands,. "For me, the arrival of the cup - it's like the birth of a child," - confessed one of the fans. For most of them, a photo was taken next to the trophy for happiness, and to touch it - a memory for life. "I'm happy," - said the mayor of the capital Vitali Klitschko and added that he is now envied by colleagues from other cities in the world.

The chorus of little children sang the anthem of the Champions League. This was a serious test for 8-year-old students, as his words are written in French, German and English. "Masters, champions, I do not know anymore," the children admitted in relation to the translation and understanding of this work. However, the choir's singing was flawless. Following him came the most anticipated part of the action - the opportunity to be photographed with trophies. Scene and security barely survived the onslaught of those wishing to do selfies, and the queue for a long time could not see the edge. Especially this opportunity was rejoiced by young football fans.

UEFA vice-president Grigory Surkis is sure that Kiev got the right to hold the Champions League final exclusively after the successful Euro-2012. In May, the city will again host tens of thousands of tourists, and this is another chance for Kiev to become even more attractive in the eyes of the world. "These two matches, which will be held at the Dynamo stadium, the women's final and the men's final at the Olimpiysky stadium, is a testament to the great confidence, above all, of the European family towards the Ukrainian community, the state and our city," Surkis said..

Already on Sunday the trophies will begin a great trip by Ukraine and will visit Mariupol, Kharkiv, Dnieper, Odessa, Lviv and the like. Finals will be held in the Ukrainian capital on May 24 and 26.
