But there isn't really an underdog. Both clubs have been playing at their top level. But i guess Barcelona are Barcelona so i'm going to be rooting for Man U. I'm mostly just rooting for a good match with many goals :D | ||

Although except for Ronaldo and Rooney on left wing, I can't see too many squad changes. On ITV yesterday, Gordon Strachan said that Sir Alex told him the gameplan the night before the match 2 years ago, but it failed because it overestimated United's possession. Who knows, hopefully a good open match | ||

Tbh I can't stand Messi and all the hype around him, loads of players would be as good as him if they could get the chance to play with midfielders such as Iniesta and Xavi. Besides they dive 24/7... i'm not the biggest messi fanboy out there but damn saying he's not up to his hype is utterly absurd ... sure he benefits a lot from xavi and inesta but the kid is a fucking beast mate ... | ||

Was just about to say that... Messi can be easily tamed like Madrid showed in the 1-1 Draw and the Copa Del Ray win ( The goals in the Semi final came after the Red card so that doesn"t count) , The Real Maestros of barcelona are Xavi and Iniesta , If we can outmuscle them somehow without the Ref falling for their cheating and Diving antics , We have a very good chance to Win it . | ||

By the way, I hope Feguson will not sacrifice Hernandez to field Anderson. Anderson instead of Carrick gonna be fine with me but either way I want Chikarito to play from the start. | ||

If we look back we saw Ronaldo playing with fire in his belly and the rest of the United side looking decidedly second-class. United are currently (I would argue) the most consistent side in the world, but Barca are the best side in the world. Missing the best player in your line-up when compared to your previous engagement as well as your opponent picking up the best defensive harrier around in the form of the Monster Masch...well, that makes it pretty tough for United. That said this is certainly no easy task for either side. Just don't think United have the midfield to battle Barca's or the defence to hold out against one of the best team attacks I have ever seen. Barca 3-1. | ||

Barca 3-1. actually ronaldo was frustating to watch as a neutral last time they played, he wasted so many chances trying to be top dog instead of being a team player which is exactly what man utd are now he has left, they are a team unit! No individual trying to take all the glory. | ||

We saw this with Portugal in the world cup, as a lone striker he really wasn't very effective at all. This United side is better equiped this time round to attack the Barcelona back four. I'm not sure it's the best strategy but for the good of the game I hope United play 4-4-2 and attack. | ||

Who knows, hopefully a good open match Keep in mind that 3 years ago MU knocked Barca out of the Champions League in the semifinals (it was Paul Scholes that scored the only goal in their tie, and it was a marvelous goal as well). So even though they lost to Barca two years ago, they certainly have experienced owning them. lol. | ||

Oh and Giggs and Scholes are pretty much the only 2 footballers I like and respect in both lineups, would be so awesome to see them win another CL. | ||
