    Think it will be similar to the final in Rome.

    Agreed, I always doubted him for years, but can now see that he is a genuine quality keeper, and a great sweeper keeper.

    firstly, Abidal wont get ripped to shreds, hes too good at defending for that to happen and quick, valencia could cause him problem but he wont own abidal or anything

    secondly, Man Utd are the team thats improved? really?

    i disagree, since they last played Barca they have lost ronaldo and tevez, 2 brilliant players, they also lost the league last year and this year, thay won it but still only won 5/19 away games, united certainly havent improved

    Barca maybe havent either but they are on a similar level, they have swapped an ageing henry for pedro and villa for eto'o, now, pedro is better than an ageing henry imo, villa is maybe not better than eto'o but when they are both at their best there isnt much between them, maybe villa hasnt had a great 2nd half of the season but hes still a great striker

    also remember Barca's defence in that last final.......

    Puyol-------Toure-------Pique-------Sylvinho

    this time, as noone is suspended, it will be......

    Alves------Pique--------Puyol--------Abidal

    much better!!!!

    so to conclude, i think Barca will win, 3-1, but its one-off games, anything could happen

    EDIT: forgot to mention that Messi has improved since 2009, if there is anyone gonna run folk to shreds its him

    No way have United improved.

    Barca are the team out of the two who have improved.

    But still he's prone to the occasional mistake. Arsenal away game for example. VDS is way better than him.

    I know, football ain't always logical and it's full of surprises. However I don't think there's a team more deserving the champs league trophy than Barca based on the whole season.
