    See if Man United do win, unless there's a big refereeing controversy in their favour, please let there be no excuses from the barcelona fan(boys)!

    They'll be fired up for this game though, the small squad has played an incredible number of games right enough.

    Let's not forget that the majority of the world cup winners was Barcelona's first team.

    Man Utd while not at there best have been a very hard team to get the better of this season. Which is why the they haven't been brilliant argument is a nervy one :56:

    However the reason I think that United will get beat is because every time they have faced a team that actually goes for it against them they have been troubled, from Arsenal to Blackpool.

    Looking at United and Barcas teams, I think Barca have a more settled first 11 - You can virtually name the whole team

    You cant really say the same about Manchester United

    and united dont really blow you away just now - winning the league by drawing with wigan, as far as I know no one really shone against blackpool(I dint see the game, correct me if Im wrong)

    I think they have been slightly less * than everyone else in the league. This may sound harsh but I believe they are very underwhelming champions.

    Edwin van der Sar's last ever game, sure he'll be determined to go out on the highest note possible.

    Not classic Champions but they have powered through the league at a canter and through to the Champions League final at a canter as well. They are winners and you can't take winners lightly, they tend to rise to the occasion.

    Although Barcelona are out and out winners as well but you get what I mean :50:

    So what?, There's not much he can do to influence them in terms of scoring.
