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

[Barcaman]

2 best teams in the World are playing in the final. Football fans aren`t usually so lucky.

Who wants Henry to have his first CL cup ? Last chance he had was the final against Barcelona ..

 

[oyetunde]

I'l be loving this game, because I'll be happy if it goes either way. I just hope it's a classic with many goals in it

no it won't
cause fergie is going 2 park the bus and try to nick it

I'm not sure ManU can defend like Chelsea.
And it's a one match game, so maybe we will see 2 teams trying to score (but maybe I dream)

 

[ZenI]

But since a few time, Henry is good when the match is important (not like Eto'o...)
So I think he can score vs ManU in final.

I agree! Eto'o doesn't step it up like Henry does in important matches lately. I'm sure he will be very good against Man U!

i am counting the days and hours till kick off for what is certainly going to be the hardest game of the season for Barca and the time to show the world who's the best team of the world. i am a Barca fan 100% and whatever the result is i feel proud to follow this team that plays beautiful football, the fact is if i were to pick the favorites to lift the titles it would be Man U simply because they have the big advantage of having players that can score from any type of situation, tall players that go very well at headers, they have quite a number of goals from counterattacks, they have players that can shoot from 30-40 meters and last of all they are better at set pieces. in contrast to Barca, we have the best midfield players in the world, and we play very fucking beautiful with the ball on the ground, but versus English teams it is not enough, so i hope Pep can make them practice shooting from distance and taking advantage of the freekicks we get.
Im not being negative this is just my point of view.

i agree,and i'm in 2 minds about the way the game will go.
i know last year that we didn't exactly go hell for leather to knock you out in the semi ,but i've got my fingers crossed for the football extravaganza that it could be.
my main hope is that Ferguson realises that our front 6 will score more in 90 minutes than yours will vs the respected defences.
this should lead to him going for it and the dream match in a dream final might happen.
i hope it does because obviously we've got a better defence than you (even before abidal and marquez were out) and i think we can (given license) tear you apart.

it could be another 4-0 Milan final you know,either way.:smiley_scared:

but i've got to say that it'd be more likely for us to win like that than you,because it does seem as though you struggle to break down better/proper defences,and that,as highlighted in the 5-0 agg l/pool - madrid game,maybe spanish football isn't quite as good as it thinks it is (i disagree though) and a game vs the one team who can combine what Barcelona and Chelsea do is the one game that Barcelona might not want to play.

i also think that you could beat us easily,but that might take something like brilliant players (which you have) AND our defenders having a bad bad day (which doesn't happen too often,l/pool 4-1 aside :$)

anyway,here's hoping for the greatest final ever,and the best team winning on the day.
i can take that all day long.

----------------Valdes----------------
Puyol------Piqué-----Yaya--------Keita
--------------Busquets----------------
-------Xavi------------Iniesta---------
---------------Messi-------------------
----Eto'o------------------Henry-------

I can't think of anything better than this for the final. (If Abidal's card get's revoked then Keita for Busquets and Abidal takes his place.)

 

[Barcaman]

Just read the Catalan papers. It`s confirmed by UEFA: Abidal and Alves lost for the final

Busquets in midfield is kind of bad man..I dont think he is ready for a match of this magnitude....I would put Keita there eventhough he equally sucks as well!!

 

[Beast]

Was expected really but you have others who can fill .. not on the same level but will do the job like they did with Chelsea

 

[Barcaman]

Toure on CD was a terrible mistake and only by luck and ref`s mistakes we got away with it.

Would you rather play Keita in midfield and watch Ronaldo skin Sylvinho ?! Keita has some physical power so he'd be great at LB. Plus Busquets did a decent job against Chelsea. We don't have any other options. Maybe play Cáceres in defense and bring Yaya back to DMF ... but Cáceres in a CL Final .... suicide.

Our front 3 has scored 90 goals combined so far this season...what has your little front 6 done..?

this should lead to him going for it and the dream match in a dream final might happen.

careful what u wish for mate not too many teams will do that..take a page from chelsea and just park the damn bus.

i hope it does because obviously we've got a better defence than you (even before abidal and marquez were out) and i think we can (given license) tear you apart.

hahahaha....u seem to be a very confident chap Heath....honestly you have a better defense (on paper) going into the match....so we'll see how things go

Are you serios ?! I thought he did an excellent job there. Other than the Pique handball I don't think Chelsea deserved any other penalties. Just because he out-muscled Drogba in the box doesn't mean it was a penalty.
