EDIT: Chart stolen from Marca showing just how good both teams have been in Champions in the last 20 years:
Blue/top is Barça, Red/bottom is Manchester. Labels in spanish (Champion, Finalist, Semifinalist, 1/4, 1/8, Previous phase).
Pretty impressive.
Last 4 seasons or so for both teams... damn.

Undoubtedly, the two best sides in European competition currently. Perfect final - little wonder it's already a rematch.

It's become tiring to listen to Tyldesley wax lyrical about that night in Barcelona every other United game he calls, but he certainly beat out Tyler that night in the commentating stakes.

Shit is on.
I don't think we'll win. Just as long as we put in a good performance I'll be content enough. Looking at Barca's back four, I'll be pissed if we don't cause them some problems.

Isn't it already obvious Man U's got this?
0,75 Bottle of Estrella Damm special, check.
Barca flag, check.
Really looking forward to the game.
And for the new page, please stop with the diving pussy cunt crap. Both are great football teams with strong tradition and some embarrassing moments. No need to dwell on it.

Are people hearing the rumours that Fletcher will start ahead of Hernandez?
I would be pissed off if United go that defensive again in the final. Having said that I don't see Carrick, Giggs and Park being able to cope with Iniesta, Xavi and Sergio B. Not without Rooney spending the majority of his time in that midfield anyway.

You should be more worried about Liverpool doing something in the EPL ever.
As a United fan, I am ready for any result. United's main concern will be the right hand flank with Fabio starting.
It's been a great season, the trophy's back with us. Can't ask for more.

Got my free keg of Beer chilling in the fridge ( thanks sky ) in preparation for the match. Think it will be a close one, 1-1 after 90 mins then it will be down to the lottery of pens.
I've also heard the rumour of Fletcher starting and Hernandez on the bench. 5 man midfield for united by the looks of it.

Manchester United 5-4 ahead in the penalty shootout, Iniesta's task to keep Barca in the running...
however, Van der Sar makes him wait at the penalty spot, just to get on his nerves.
He sees Iniesta looking at a certain corner and he knows that's where the Spaniard is going to hit it.
So the guy steps up, takes the shot, but with a swanlike dive the 40 year old keeper catches the ball in mid-air
Edwin hits the ground, ball stuck between his hands. Beaming with pride.
This was his last safe ever. One single tear is captured on camera as half of us cheer.
Van der Sar says goodbye.
You've heard it here first!

Bleh...my parents are in town today because they like, miss me and the kids or something.
So now I have to spend time with them. Which means I don't think I'll be able to watch the game today. Lame.
Stupid parents.
"Sports bar for lunch? Oh look, the Championships just happens to be on? Well I'll be damned!"
No one here ever wants to watch games with me.

Has to be ITV.
I'm glad to live in a Footballcountry, where you got to decline everyone and their mother to watch the game with them because you're already watching it with MILLIONS.Help Me! said:Join the club. I called up all my friends, offered to buy beer and lunch, and once they found out it was soccer, politely declined.
Can't wait!
2-1 after 120 minutes.

That makes no sense.... You are offering food and drink and they refuse because it's soccer???? I guess there are some riveting MLB matchups
oh please
Also, Glory UNITED!

Doubt ManU has a chance today - looking for a seamless performance from the well oiled Catalan machine. 3-0 Barca.

I'm a Charlton fan but will be cheering on Man Utd tonight as I absolutely can not stand Barcelona at all.
Think me and some friends are going to watch it in a pub somewhere in London.

Never felt this nervous before a match before. In '99, '08 and '09 I was confident we would win before the game.
Man, I'm so bummed I'm missing this tonight. I have watched pretty much everygame this CL, but now I can't watch the finale live -_-. Hopefully I'll be able to watch it tomorrow without someone spoiling the score. I'm hoping ManU, but I'll think Barca will win. Most of all, I just want it to be an epic game.

Damn, feel bad for all of you who haven't got somebody to watch it with. I've had plenty of people offering. But if United win we all plan to meet up outside Old Trafford and go nuts. If.
Knots in my tummy begging to develop. Think a bit of poo may actually emerge first time Messi get's on the ball and goes on a run.
