10 years after Barca, let's make it 4

[Jazz 16]

Barca are without their full backs Alves and Abidal.
Im delighted we are playing a weakened Barca rather than Chelsea.
Cmon United.

[piazza]

My brother lives in California, and supports FC Barcelona. For a number of years.

He's coming home to see me graduate and all that. The day he flies in, is May 27th.

[akash_reds]

we can try putting ronaldo in the wing and giving them trouble with his pace...rooney in the left....berbatov up front...carrick,anderson and scholes in the middle...evra,ferdinand,vidic,and o'shea(?) in defence..VDS on goal...how is it?

[Stephen]

The last time we played in Barcelona, and against Barcelona in a final, we won

MOTWYW

[migueldadon]

Without a doubt the dream final.

[johnnyryan]

united to make it four cl's, rooney ronaldo and tevez to start, to strech barca's weakend defence...

[Because I'm DC]

Not the game I was expecting, but I'm sure it'll be equally as nail-biting.

As of right now, I fancy the same team that played last night, but Giggs instead of Fletcher - to start the final.

[marty davidson]

This is the dream final. Two attacking sides

we should cause Barca huge troubles with them missing Alves (best right back in the world?) and Abdal will be a tight game but i fancy us to win it

[Treble_99]

Now i can't wait for this.

[NoxiousD]

Our key here now is definitely our wings....

[antdevil78]

Correction Barcelona vs Manchester United which means we will be in the white away kit for the final

Also, for all the possession Barca had against Chelsea, they didn't really create any clear-cut chances, I don't think Cech had many saves to make, and Messi was pretty quiet.

Gonna be a difficult game, definitely, and hopefully it'll be an entertaining one, but I'm actually pretty confident.

Lets attack them. Bring it on.

18.03 The home team should always wear the official first-choice kit announced to
the UEFA administration on the entry form, unless the teams concerned
agree otherwise in due time, in which case details should be submitted to the
UEFA administration in writing. If the referee decides on the spot that the
colours of the two teams could lead to confusion, the home team must wear
other colours for reasons of practicality. For the final, both teams may wear
their home colours. However, if there is a clash, the team designated as the
“away” team must wear alternative colours. If a clash still exists and the team
officials are unable to agree, the UEFA administration will decide on the
colours.

everything i have seen upto now has put barca as the home side.

[sunchaser]

----------------VDS

JOS-------Rio-------Vidic------Evra

--------------Carrick
Park-----Scholes---Anderson---Rooney

---------------Ronaldo

before tonights game i wanted chelsea in the final because i thought barcelona were the toughest test but having seen this game its quite clear that barcelona struggle against english teams big time and they were terrible against chelsea and should have conceded 4 penalties .
the final is certainly world footballs glamour game and there will be goals thats for sure but barcelona will miss both full backs and i really fancy utds chances of making it number 4 against an overrated barcelona team ! bring em on .
