Henry: Bring it on United don't scare us.

THIERRY HENRY is relishing Barcelona's showdown with Manchester United.
The European giants clash in the Champions League semi-finals later this month. And after brushing aside Schalke in the last eight yesterday, ex-Arsenal Henry is now ready to face his old rivals United.
The Frenchman said: “This is a game to get excited about but we will have to play well because we will be up against a team who are playing incredibly.
"They are on great form. People will say they are favourites but nobody can really know. “They are a team in first place in their league and Cristiano Ronaldo is having an incredible season, so we know them pretty well. "But they won’t be able to surprise us.
"This is a big game and we are going to fight to be in the final.” Barcelona have been dealt an early blow ahead of the double-header with skipper Carlos Puyol suspended for the first leg at the Nou Camp.

United will not be able to surprise us, says Barcelona's old Gunner Henry
Thierry Henry has taunted Manchester United by claiming they are incapable of shocking Barcelona in their Champions League semi-final showdown this month.
Former Arsenal striker Henry dismissed the idea Barcelona are underdogs for the last-four clash, despite their stuttering form in Europe and Spain's La Liga."They won't be able to surprise us. People will say they are favourites but nobody can really know. "This is a game to get excited about, but we will have to play well against a team who are playing incredibly. They are on great form."
He said: "There is none of that (ill feeling). An Arsenal-Manchester United match is another thing, but this is a big game and we are going to fight to be in the final."
Rijkaard
"I am happy to play these two games against United, I am sure they are too," said Rijkaard. "I will not talk about favourites, but they will be two great games and we'll see what happens."
Barca should have Argentina starlet Lionel Messi and midfield playmaker Deco available after injury for the first leg at the Nou Camp on 23 April, but central defender Carlos Puyol is suspended.

i hab a feeling barca is going to rape man utd
i can still remember how milan massacre man utd last year
*shivers
-
u think too much liao barca true they got top quality players like henry puyol messi..and so on their whole team is top quality but if u see the match against shallke ..their defence aint so strong only shallke missed thier chances alot..huge loop holes can be seen easily so lets jus wait for the result then
-
i think ronaldinho is gonna go to milan at the end of the season..barca does not seem to want him anymore..

Furthermore, such an important game. However, being Ronaldinho, he may prove me wrong. But I hope not.

Milan only played better at home, we beat them @ OT rem!!
Also, we were without our proper defence, and that stupid rain just compounded the problem.
If MUFC is fully fit with Vidic and Rio ready, we shall see who gets raped.
Anyway, a 0-1 or 0-2 similiar to Roma would be good enough.
