I think it could be an interesting game. Two great teams against one another. I think both teams have similar quality attacks, Barcelona have the edge in midfield but Utd have the superior defence.
I just hope it is not another cagey contest.
I think it's too close too call.

I've a feeling Barcelona are going to overrun Man U.
Could be wrong though.

I'm going for a 2-1 to Man U. I think with Barcelona's suspensions and doubts over the fitness of Henry and Iniesta, along with Marquez being out as well it might be a tall order to overcome Man U.

I think it all depends which Utd defence turn up. Generally they've been great this year but it seems like when they do make mistakes they come in bundles. Had Porto not stuck 2 past them at OT i'd have said Man U were definite favourites but atm i'm not so sure. They'll certainly miss Fletcher though.
I'll go for a 3-2 Barca win, with both defences making mistakes.

I'm going to go for a 2-1 win to Utd.
I think the fact that Barca have only 1 first choice defender (Pique) playing will hurt them (guessing it will be Puyol RB - a disaster and will be ripped to bits of they go at him, Silvinho LB, Toure CB).
Barca win midfield hands down, but I think Utds defence is excellent and may well snuff out Barca's attack.
Let's hope its a great game of football, so it will rub it up the likes of Chelsea and Inter to show the world that attacking football can win things.

I think man utd by a couple of goals(3-1 or 2-0),barcelonas defence will be there downfall.

I want Barca to win, but I reckon Man U will put on a technical, tactical masterclass and shut Barca down and win 1-0.

United 2-1
Both teams are great going forward , barca maybe shade the nidfield but we've got a better defence.
Should be a good game but if it isnt then i wont mind as long as we win.
Will be a deserved winner whoever it is. If its Barca the so be it.

I predict Man U to win. If the previous games are anything to go by, Barcelona scraped through to the final by the skin of their teeth whereas Man U eased through.
But finals don't really pay attention to previous form, results etc. It's whoever performs best on the night. I'd go for 3-1 Man U.

I expect the game to finish with possession stats about 60-40 in Barca's favour but with their fragile defence and the pace at which we counter attack i see us winning it.
3-1 United

2-0 to Utd.
Barelona's attacking game relies heavily on their two (1st choice) full-backs bombing on and giving Messi and co. licence to roam....I think Barca will really suffer not having Alves and Abidal and can't see them penetrating Utd's defence too many times.
As above, Puyol will be ripped to bits by the pace of Utd. I predict he'll be sent off too. |
