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

[ceefoo]

Typical Manc really. They only watch English football so they are convinced they are the best in the world. Only three teams have ever won the EPL. Mad isn't it.

CORRECTION!

4 Clubs have won the EPL to date

Manchester United
Blackburn Rovers
Arsenal
Chelsea

 

[maz]

Four. Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea and Blackburn.

Compared to the 5 la liga teams that have won the league in the same time.

Typical Manc really. They only watch English football so they are convinced they are the best in the world. Only three teams have ever won the EPL. Mad isn't it.

Since it began in 1993 the premier league has been won by United , Chelsea , Arsenal and Blackburn so your wrong there arnt you.

I watch spanish football I enjoy it I think Barca are far and away the best team in the league and will be a tough match in the final . Other than Barca I dont see much else at the moment in spain Madrid are very poor and they are second to yourselves.

I dont believe we play anti football like some of you have posted to be honest we play some brilliant football but we also defend well something you arnt the best at.

 

[Red Devil]

Didn't Hiddink also expect an outstanding 2 legs, and was expected to go all-out attacking? Well I suppose outstanding 2 legs for us heh :2145960713mundoemot
But yeah, unlikely that Ferguson won't be a chicken and do what he did last time around.

No disrespect but Chelsea attack there all about power and snatching goals not flowing football . United play brilliant football yeah against Arsenal we had a bad day but so does every team .

what is brilliant football?

what is brilliant football?

I hold my hands up Barca play better football no doubt about it they play football from another planet and its been a joy to watch them over the last 5 years .

I say 5 years mainly because Ive had more time to watch them in the last 5 years . I loved the Romario and Stoichkov team and also the Ronaldo era but I didnt have access to all there games like I do know .

I visited the Nou camp 3 years ago and if it wasnt for a flight back the day before the Espanyol home game I would of completed my dream of watching them at the Nou Camp.

I have watched them play at Old Trafford last season which was a joy but it was the Nou camp which I dream of watching them play in .

As for the my theory on United playing brilliant football well I feel we do if I felt we were a boring side Id hold my hands up and say we play boring stuff . We dont play boring football how can Ronaldo , Rooney , Teves , Giggs , Berbatov , Scholes ever be called boring players , never they are amazing players .

Im sorry if I have offended a few people on here but I will be honest with you I believe we will win just like you believe you will win . The best thing about this final unlike last years is that if the unthinkable happens and we lose then at least I can hold my hands up and say the best football playing side in the world has won the cup fair play .

But as we all know the best footballing side in the world dont always make the best team in world and I believe as a squad or team we our the best unit in the world.

Well, to be honest, i don't see a big difference between Chelsea and Manchester except the individual talent of the players. Without Ronaldo, you would be quite Chelsea like in my view.

neither do i classify typical english football as brilliant. more like powerful. that's the category where english football really reigns. i don't enjoy that type of football, i rather like touch than power. that's why i love barcelona type of football. i became a culé because i dig their football, i don't dig their football because i'm a culé.

By this statment your as ignorent as you claim me to be.

By this statment your as ignorent as you claim me to be.

Care to elaborate Sire? For I too fall into the above category.

 

[Evil]

VDS - Cech
Rio - Terry
Vidic - Alex
Evra - Cashley
Oshea - Ivanovic
Carrick- Essien
Park - Lampard
Anderson - Ballack
Tevez - Anelka
Ronaldo - Joe Cole
Rooney - Drogba

 

[Galning]

I respected ManU a lot, but after their shameful performance at Camp Nou last year I want to beat them. They're not as bad as Chelski though, they're absolute scum.
I just hope United won't play the "defending with 11 game" and hope for a counter attack.

 

[Vidic]

Man Utd have all but won this.

A team who plays that shit at Stamford Bridge will have nothing on United. And that would even with Abidal and Alves.

Sorry but you'll have to buy the ref again to even stand a chance.

You lot chavs deserved to lose, you were playing shit football. Defensive boring football at it's best. Will be a cracking final though. looking forward to seeing Messi vs Evra.

 

[FCB_Titi_LB]

watch UEFA cup final guys ...donetsk play is brilliant all brazilians..

 

[Vidic]

Doubt we'll see the same match like last year. United will actually go for it. We're in a rich vein of form right now. we'll probably play 4-3-3 just like at arsenal in semi's.

 

[Metaphysical]

it won't be as defensive as the semi-final last year (they haven't got 180 mins to score and it's a final, pride will be an issue) but I don't think united will play an open game. it'll be a defensive attitude but they'll deffo counterattack with gusto.

VDS - Cech
Rio - Terry
Vidic - Alex
Evra - Cashley
Oshea - Ivanovic
Carrick- Essien
Park - Lampard
Anderson - Ballack
Tevez - Anelka
Ronaldo - Joe Cole
Rooney - Drogba

what's that? a list of players who are absolutely nothing alike?

vidic/terry and anderson/essien are about the only stylistic comparisons you could make. otherwise united have way more technique about them and chelsea much more power.
