    Go man for man? Jesus that would be suicidal. I would put money that Messi would beat his man marker 9 times out of 10. That doesn't mention Iniesta, Xavi, Villa, Alves etc.

    Hunt in packs against barca and hope you can get close enough to Xavi and Iniesta and shut down the space behind. Either that or Man Utd need to play to there strengths. Park Ji Sung will be a massive player for them this final I feel.

    Yeah, it is a pity, agreed.

    Well I think Man United have to do something different, don't play into barecelona's hands like so many teams do, it won't end well.

    He can out score him (by 1 goal) but he can't out play him.

    Why ask him? Is he not allowed to ask questions? Is he not allowed to be inquisitive? Is he not allowed to have an interest? Why?

    I loved the guy, outshone Guardiola to my young mind (was probably wrong there!:56:)

    When Ronaldo joined that was me in love :icon_mrgreen:

    Just the last few threads that have anything to do with Barca. People have been having a go at Barca fans.
