UEFA CL FINAL - Barcelona vs Manchester United - May 27
-
Well English teams did well in Rome .
The last English team that won the Cup @ Rome was at 1984 , when Liverpool beat Roma on penalties .
So basic advantage was there .
U can say Rome fans favour English teams , shown support , or weather favour the English , or the pitch was good for the English etc ....
Whatever said .....
-
Alves and Abidal suspension not a real problem for Barcelona .
Puyol will be back ... Keita was damn good .. Toure was very good against Chelsea .
Iniesta and Xavi , plus Messi .... Henry and Eto'o .... once Barcelona crossed into MU's half , MU in trouble , just ask Real Madrid .
We can see how dangerous they can be when they are in opponent's half .
I'll be for the Spanish .
Viva Barca !!!
-
Good luck to u guys !!!
Pray hard nobody injured from now to UCL Final .

I hope Manchester United can win this without any dumb referee giving stupid decisions. Barcelona's passing is nice but i'm sure MU can break it.
And for the above post, Real Madrid isn't as strong and dominating like last time so i'm not surprised barcelona scored 6 against them.
-
Its all so strange... Most of the Arsenal, Liverpool and even the Chelsea fans who were just hard done by Barcelona, are now supporting them to win in the final against United... lol...
Their comments of I prefer, I want, I support, I hope... most of them all for Barcelona... lol
Looks like they really don't want to see United win anything... Maybe Real Madrid fans might be cheering for United... lol

This is a great match. May the best team wins.

real madrid dont have an english defence lols.. if u watch de chelsea barca match, u would realise barca finds it super difficult to break through the chelsea's defence and the structure of chelsea's defence is very similar to man utd. my only main concern is that i feel man utd's full backs are not that competent to stop barca's free flow running down the flanks. and i hope berba doesnt play bcos his brilliant contribution is not consistent and it comes it bits and pieces. we need fletcher and park for their energy to destroy barca's creativity.
youyayu, man utd also got scholes leh volleyball player of the year.. LOLs -

It has shown that physical play does deter Barca, and I do believe the last game vs Gunners has shown that MU can play in a packed midfield, and stop Gunners' free flowing, and counter effectively with Ronaldo up front. I do believe we will see that too.
Counter, establish MU's rhythm, and then MU will establish their game..

bro, it is okay.. the more people are against MU just means they fear..It is what SAF often tells his players, people hates them, and hence they will be even more happy when they plant their flag..
As for some, they still want to recount their team's history, and tell us how great their team is when they should be planning for next season. Yawn...

tough game, IF henry gets back in time.
Henry Messi is second to none. -

High chance no Marquez too, so only left with Pique and Toure as Center Backs, and Sylvinho slotted into Right Back. This sounds good for United as Barca will be left with a makeshift defense.
I'm hoping Henry doesn't makes it in time.
Sylvinho is left back.
Ronaldo vs a 35 year old. -
Inter milan confirm cheer for man u...
cos the italian champions get knocked out by eventual european champions, won't be so bad.
but if spainish champion win english champion, who in turn win italian champion, than italian more xia sway...

i think barca are the slight underdogs.....but this is dangerous if man u think that way.

They suffer against the English teams because unlike in the EPL, Barca don't get the opportunity to practice the art of breaking down a "park bus" kinda defence in the La Liga.
The big 4 get to practice it almost every week.
i like this. LOL. -
If barcelona won chelsea with a clear victory, then i might have a slight doubt on manchester united chances.
But the fact is that they cant even score at home against the team with the second best defence record in the BPL. And a late goal away. How many of you really seriously believe that it isnt luck.
unless there is a mistake from united, i dont even see barcelona scoring.

Is it? I think Man Utd are the underdogs actually.
But then again I always think the worst of Man U, then they always give me a pleasant surprise :P

Henry doubtful for United showdown
Barcelona striker Thierry Henry is doubtful for the Champions League final due to an anterior cruciate ligament strain in his right knee.
The 31-year-old suffered the injury during last Saturday's 6-2 Primera Division win at Real Madrid, forcing him to miss the midweek 1-1 draw at Chelsea which booked Barca's date with holders Manchester United in Rome on May 27.
A statement on Barcelona's official website read: "Thierry Henry will not play in the Copa del Rey final and he is facing a fitness race to be able to appear in the Champions League final in Rome.
"The French international suffered a blow to his right knee during the game against Real Madrid and meant that he was unable to play against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in midweek.
"According to club medics, Henry has suffered an anterior cruciate ligament strain in his right knee and is undergoing specific treatment to try and ensure that he can play in Rome against Manchester United."
As well as the Copa del Rey final against Athletic Bilbao next Wednesday, the former Arsenal frontman will miss La Liga games against Villarreal, Real Mallorca and Osasuna.
