    Champions League Final 2009: FC Barcelona vs ManUtd: Champions of Europe!

    I wouldnt agree with that at all. I stick by considerably better than Barca's. United have conceded 11 less goals in four more games than Barca. Do the math and works out at United shipping a goal every 144 mins on average compared to Barca's 99 mins. Sure is that not more or less what I said...

    Man Utd 2008/2009 Played 59 For 113 Against 38 Barca 2008/2009 Played 55 For 144 Against 49 The statistics point to Uniteds defence being considerably better than Barca's and equally Barca's attack being considerably better than Uniteds.

    Key is he strained the cruciate ligament and did not tear it although they will have to be careful with him as if he does tear the cruciate thats a guaranteed long-term injury.

    Go to the mini-estadi. No doubt it will be on there on the big screens like 2006. 15,000 culés.

    Champions League Final 2009: FC Barcelona vs ManUtd: Champions of Europe!

    Uniteds midfield is most likely going to be Anderson to stifle Xavi, Park (would have been Fletch I think) to hassle Iniesta as he can run all day and Carrick to clean up the loose ends. Scholes to be a little further forward in a creative role with Ronaldo a total mystery as he is usually...

    Champions League Final 2009: FC Barcelona vs ManUtd: Champions of Europe!

    Ronaldo is lethal in the air and Berbatov aint half bad neither. From Corners Vidic is also a massive threat. This is going to be an area exploited by United in my opinion as its common knowledge Barca are not comfortable defending high balls into the box. To all those going on about Man Utd...

    Champions League Final 2009: FC Barcelona vs ManUtd: Champions of Europe!

    Well I would beg to differ. Over the past two months he has seemed to rediscover some of last seasons form and scored 9 times in his 11 last matches over that period. Thats a pretty admirable return and against Arsenal the other night he was top notch. People seem to be writing him off this...

    But his experience wont count for much when his 35 year old legs are left for dead when Ronaldo flys down the wing (considering he is LB). That is what I meant when I said Pep has some tough decisions to make. Then again on the other hand Ronaldo has an awful habit of wondering around and...

    Champions League Final 2009: FC Barcelona vs ManUtd: Champions of Europe!

    Is that Caceres ? I really dont think Pep has much faith in him this season to be honest and really couldnt see him picking him for the clubs most important game in 3 years. As I said already about Sylvinho - Ronaldo could outrun him all night down the wing and could cross into the box unopposed...

    Champions League Final 2009: FC Barcelona vs ManUtd: Champions of Europe!

    I reckon its going to be: -----------Valdes Puyol - Pique - Toure - Sylvinho ----------Busquets Iniesta----------------Xavi Messi-----------------Henry -----------Eto'o Will Pep really stick 35 year old Sylvinho at LB against Ronaldo ? Seems suicide in fairness. Pace wise Ronaldo would...
