    2-0 Barca just can't see past them to be honest and i don't think Man U will be able to cope with Messi the way he's been playing right now.

    hopefully Man Utd have confidence and play the same formation as Sunday, i think Barca will overrun their midfield if they play 2 up and barca would win imo

    I can't see anything buy a Barcelona win. United just don't have the midfielders capable of getting anywhere near Barca's. Do they play Giggs and scholes for experience in the hope they don't get over run like so many before or do they risk fletcher and carrick/anderson who have bundles of energy but don't have that edge?

    hernandez and rooneys pace could do damage but they have dealt with better this season

    A very Messi problem: Leo's sulking gives Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola a huge headache

    Poor show Messi. Ronaldo would never sulk....

    Hate both teams with a passion but can't see anything other than a Barcelona win.

    Can't see where Man Utd are hoping to win this game. If they play the experience in Scholes and Giggs they'll be chasing Barça's shadows all game. If they go for the youth and play Nani and Valencia on the wings, they'll end up exposed allowing Messi and Pedro aswell as Alves the space they play so well with.

    I can't see Man Utd winning this one. Barca have too many threats all over the pitch for me. There will probably only be 3 maybe 4 players who pose no attacking threat whatsoever, and one of them will be Valdes. The rest will be a handful for Man Utd and I think Barca will win this

    True, not with Ronaldo outscoring him :50:

    I hope Man United press the barcelona players heavily, they are given too much time on the ball by opposition. They use it superbly, but I'd like to see a team really close them down.

    That's what I mean, go man-for-man, don't allow them any time or space. So much easier said than done, but I'd love to see it tried.
