Jankulovski third Czech to reach Champions League final

Marek Jankulovski will become the third Czech to take part in the final of the Champions League, club football's most prestigious tournament. His club AC Milan reached the May 23 final on Wednesday after beating Manchester United. However, Jankulovski's international team-mate Petr Cech has missed out on the big game, after his Chelsea lost to Liverpool on Tuesday. Vladimir Smicer and Milan Baros won the Champions League with Liverpool in 2005.
