I have a lot of respect for Barcelona. They are definitely the team to beat. But we are not bad ourselves, when everyone is healthy. Unfortunately, we have already lost Badstuber for the season.
I'm not as worried as I thought I'd be, if Cleverly and Carrick can stay disciplined and if we have Vidic and Rio ready and healthy, we can slow down Madrid's offense. I know that's a lot of IF's, but with our offense seeming to score goals whenever they feel like it, I like our chances.
Some interesting facts about the CL: The last two times the CL final has been held at Wembley, the winner has been Barcelona. Since 1991/1992 season the 21 CL winners have been from: Spain - 7 Italy - 5 England - 4 Germany - 2 Portugal, France, Netherlands - 1 AC Milan is the last team to win back to back CL finals (89 & 90).
My predictions: Galatasaray(TUR) v Schalke(GER) Celtic(SCO) v Juventus(ITA) Arsenal(ENG) v Bayern(GER) Shakhtar Donetsk(UKR) v Dortmund(GER) Milan(ITA) v Barcelona(ESP) Real Madrid(ESP) v Man. United(ENG) Valencia(ESP) v PSG(FRA) Porto(POR) v Málaga(ESP)
Bump.....United at Real Madrid. Wonder how much will be talked about Mourinho going back to England and coaching Manchester United during the match.
