Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Manchester and Chelsea will face-off in the Champions League tomorrow for the first time since the 2008 final.

On that rainy night in Moscow, Sir Alex Ferguson's men were victorious after holding their nerve to win a dramatic penalty shoot-out 6-5.

In the seven matches since then United have only beaten Chelsea twice - one of which was the 3-1 victory in the Community Shield earlier this season - losing three times and drawing another two.

United's record at Stamford Bridge, the venue for tomorrow night's quarter final first leg, is even worse. In their last 10 visits to Chelsea they have lost six, drawn three and their only victory came way back in 2002.

We take a look at the key battles and re-live that 2008 final ahead of tomorrow's eagerly anticipated game.
