Barcelona captain Carles Puyol says their Champions League
semifinal against Manchester United could be the greatest in
the history of the competition.
"This could be the greatest semi-final in the history of the
Champions League," said Puyol, who is suspended for the
first-leg. "Two sets of fantastic players will be set against each other.
"We have a lot of respect for United because they are such a great side and a
massive club
"They have very good players and really I expect it to be a beautiful semi-final. I
am confident we will go through."
Puyol, who lifted the trophy two years ago in Paris when Barca beat Arsenal, is a
fan of United wing wonder Cristiano Ronaldo.
But he insisted that Barca have their own genius in Argie wonderkid Lionel Messi -
who will be back to face the Red Devils after a long absence with a thigh problem.
He added: "Cristiano Ronaldo is a spectacular player. Not only with his game but
he's also scoring a lot of goals.
"He's a player who can win a game on his own. But, as I said, we also have
excellent players and now we are going to have Messi back who is a
fundamental player for us."
