UCL : Man U v Barca

This year's UCL final will be held at Wembley stadium and will be between the 2 best teams in Europe, Manchester United who just won their 19th title in the English league and Barcelona, this year's Spanish champions.
It's a repeat of the 2009 UCL final for the two teams which Barcelona won 2-0.
Nothing much can separate this two mighty giants of Europe. Both have world class players that can decide a game with a moment of brilliance.
Manchester United will surely depend on their top marksman, Wayne Rooney while Barcelona have the gifted Messi in their ranks. But football is not about 1 individual.
The two players mentioned will be supported by their team mates and of course their own form on the day.
United definitely has the edge because they will be playing in Wembley, an automatic pick for them to be named as the 'home' team with their fans will surely flood the stadium.
Besides that United will rely on their fast counter-attacking game using strong running players down the flanks.
Like any other English teams, they will also rely on their big and strong defense to hold the fort.
Rooney and Hernandez will definitely cause problems for the Barca defense but I have to pick the dynamic South Korean Park Ji Sung as the 'key' player.
His running and great stamina will surely be an asset for Sir Alex's men to win the final.
Barcelona on the other hand plays an interesting type of football. Holding possession and short passes makes any it difficult for any opponent to gain the ball. They move the ball so quickly and they are able to get out from any tight position with their 1-2 short passes.
Once they are in the opponent's area they can be very dangerous. United have to keep an eye with every Barca players. They are very good will the off-the-ball movements. One simple pass can result with a goal. Iniesta will be the key man in this situation.
If United are able to keep Barcelona on their own half and force them to play long balls, they will have an advantage. While if Barcelona stop United from playing the ball down the flanks they can win.
It's going to be an explosive final and we will see who's better. Alex Ferguson or Pep Guardiola?
All the best to both of them and may the best team wins.
