Middlesbrough manager Steve McClaren admits leading his side out ahead of next Wednesday night´s UEFA Cup final will be his proudest moment in football - but only if they win it.Boro head for Eindhoven to meet Spanish outfit Seville on the verge of lifting their second trophy in little more than two years after a 128-year wait for success. That would be a major achievement for a club which very nearly went out of business 20 years ago, and for a manager who could have been out of work just three months ago.Asked if the game at the Philips Stadion would be the proudest moment of his career, he replied: "If I lead them out and win it, yes. It´s no good leading us out and losing the game. It´s no good just turning up and being happy with the final. We have got players in that dressing room who want to win it now, we have got players in that dressing room for whom this may be their last final, their last opportunity."
