2011 CL Final: FC Barcelona - Manchester United FC 3-1 - Champions!

[FiReFTW]

I don't think they realize how good RM is. Man U deserves a lot of credit for winning EPL and making it to the CL finals, but I'm not convinced they are as good as RM.

Real Madrid is a stronger team if you look at invidual players but Man Utd plays better as a team.

 

[estranged]

IMO Real is stronger than Man U, in terms of individuals and even team play. They have a brilliant midfield, still doesn't make anything easier for us though, man u is as tough as they come.

Agreed, Real Madrid are better than Man Utd.

Defence is about the same, but RM attack and especially midfield is a lot better.

If they were to have faced in the semis over two legs, I think about 70% chance Real would have won.

Man Utd are the 3rd best team in the world, in my opinion (though technically they're either 1st or 2nd).

They'll still be a HUGE opponent in the final, though I'm confident some Messi magic can open up that Vidic-Ferdinand pairing.

Two years ago, the question was,"Can FC Barcelona beat Manchester United?" Now it's the other way around :beer2:

Even if not, I'm sure he'll create lots of spaces for other players. He didnt score in the 5-0 against Madrid but he was fantastic

Lucky You lionelito,

How much yours costed then.?

Not so sure about that. Given his current form and desire, he will want to score badly this time. Even the tabloids have him on pressure "Messi never scored on England soil". so that should motivate him enough.
Well, the Arsenal goal was dis-allowed. Still not sure why that was though.

You lucky.................

Have you one spare? Im desperate!

 

[gingerless]

quick, cash in on him while you can!

United won't be able to cope with xavi and iniesta in the mid! Premiership has not got a team like barcelona. Barcelona will win this easily. I'm predicting a 2-0 win for Barcelona. United will play anti football. Get ready to see the greatest team ever at it's best

 

[FCBarca]

Predicted lineup:

 

[ssb150388]

Arsenal ripped apart United with the Barca brand of football.
If they can, Barca surely can. Because we have and and \m/

 

[Fourteen]

That's a very good line-up. They'll be much better than the previous final, where twaty Ronaldo wanted to attack all by himself.

 

[Ode to Django]

Alot of energy in that team, i think they'll try to pressure Barca and try and nick the ball off them higher up the pitch
