Champions League final: Barcelona v Manchester United at Wembley

[hype the producer]

BBC Sport - Champions League final: Man Utd v Barcelona in numbers

Probable line-ups:

Barcelona:

Valdes; Alves, Abidal, Puyol, Pique; Busquets, Xavi, Iniesta, Villa, Pedro, Messi.

Manchester United:

Van der Sar; Fabio, Evra, Vidic, Ferdinand, Carrick, Park, Giggs, Valencia, Fletcher/Hernandez, Rooney.

At the magnificent amphitheatre that is Wembley, the home of football, the two greatest teams of their generation will do battle to win the Champions League: the most precious prize on offer in the domestic game. Two years ago it was the Spanish matadors that reigned supreme in Rome, but today, the English lions have revenge in their sights and desire in their hearts. Only one of them can emerge victorious, to be worshipped forever by their adoring public; for the losers, devastation lies in wait.

Barcelona v Manchester United 28.05.2011. 20:45 CET;19:45 BST; 1:45 PM EST

I prefer real sports...

Yeah... I wonder why this is the most popular sport in the world... But would you be so kind to tell me what do you consider to be "real sport"? Maybe that variation of rugby, that Americans also like to call football, where players have as much protective equipment as astronauts do?

You ain't got arguments left so you turn to good old flaming.

By the way that's light purple. Go check your eyes

You're right soccer has the best athletes in the world...I'd love to see LeBron James try to kick a ball into an 8 foot high & 8 yard wide goal...

The physicality of the game is 2nd to none as well...I tell you man...that kind of stuff you just don't get in MMA, boxing, or muay thai fights...
That kind of slap would surely put away any pancreas fighter...

Who needs Michael Jordan or Barry Sanders when you have a stud athlete like this guy...!!!

A quoi je pensais...!
