Mechi ya kwanza Camp Nou walitusumbua sana, japo tuliwapa 2-1, lakini kwa vile hiyo ni mechi point,nadhani tutamaliza. Pep anataka kumaliza ligi na 100 points, last season ilikuwa ni record 99 points.
 
FC Barcelona v Manchester United: UEFA Champions League Final Preview





Football fans are in for a treat as Barcelona and Manchester United, the two best clubs in the world right now, are set to clash in the Champions League final May 28th in the legendary Wembley Stadium.

After a four-game stretch of ugly, heated, and controversial clásicos against arch-rivals Real Madrid, FC Barcelona is positioned to take home the most coveted trophy in club football for the second time in three years, and third in five.


Standing in their way-as in 2009 when they last won the European title-is Premier League-leading Manchester United. The Red Devils are looking for revenge, and FC Barcelona is looking to cement their place amongst the greatest sides of all time.




Let's get down to business. Both squads will likely start most of the same men that faced off two years ago. For Manchester United: Van der Sar, Evra, Vidic, Ferdinand, Carrick, Anderson, Park, and Rooney. For FC Barcelona: Valdés, Piqué, Puyol, Xavi, Iniesta, Busquets, and Leo Messi.


Throw in likely starters Ryan Giggs for Manu U, and Dani Alves and Eric Abidal for Barcelona, and you've got essentially nine out of eleven preferred men on each squad unchanged from two years ago.


The biggest change for Man U is the absence of Cristiano Ronaldo, their best player in 2009 and the man who gave Valdés the most trouble in Rome.


For Barcelona, big strong strikers Henry and Eto'o have been replaced by feisty little guys Pedro and David Villa.


Most importantly, perhaps, both squads are led by the same men. The gum-chewing Scotsman Sir Alex Ferguson is still very much in control in Manchester, and the smooth-talking Pep Guardiola is continuing a ridiculous string of titles in just his third year as manager of Barcelona.


In short, we can expect a similar match to what we saw in 2009. With largely the same personnel-and exactly the same footballing philosophy-on both sides of the ball, we're previewing a true Champions League final rematch.


Considering that La Blaugrana soundly beat Manchester two years ago, one could say the Reds would need some major improvements to take down Barcelona this year. Wayne Rooney, despite a low goal tally in the Premiership, is playing the best team football of his career. Joining him up top is the Mexican sensation Chicharito, who has been absolutely lethal for United this year.


But apart from these players, it's hard to find significant improvement over the 2009 squad. For Barcelona, Lionel Messi has taken his game up a couple of notches in the past two years, and is far and away the world's best attacker. Victor Valdés in goal is better than ever, Busquets has become a mainstay in the midfield, and one could argue that both Pedro and Villa fit Barça's scheme better than Eto'o or Henry.


In terms of personnel, thanks to these improvements, the absence of Cristiano for the Reds and the presence of Dani Alves for La Blaugrana, advantage: FC Barcelona.


Both clubs have continued to practice open, attacking football over the past two years. Manchester's style is more physical, vertical, and direct, while Barcelona's "tiki-taka" is still their modus operandi. By adhering to these philosophies and maintaining a core of players, both sides have dominated their domestic leagues since 2009, and earned another crack at European supremacy.


While Barcelona are the clear favorites on paper, how much do these boys have left in the tank? Manchester United hasn't exactly been resting for the past two years, but thanks to international commitments, the Spanish side has way more mileage on their key men.
And while Pedro and Villa certainly fit "el pérfil" of Barcelona, Eto'o's opener was a monumental goal, and important today for two reasons:


a. It was the type of goal that only Eto'o could score
b. It turned the tide of the match that, up until that point, had looked very good for Man U.


Will Barcelona struggle to score as they so often have lately? Will the massive number of minutes played over the past two years finally take its toll? I think not.


Pep will have his men completely prepared and supremely confident. From the start, FC Barcelona will look to dominate possession, and big-game players like Iniesta, Messi, and Villa, will play the best matches of their lives.


Culé's: enjoy this game, because we may never be treated to such a spectacle again. Expect a vintage Barcelona performance to take home the club's fourth Champions League title.


No matter what, this year's final will be a joy to watch, and far from the putrid display of football put on by last year's finalists Inter and Bayern. We're in for an absolute cracker of a match, with speed, skill, and goals aplenty. Football will be played the way it ought to, and FC Barcelona will once again play it better than the rest.

Fergie's mob can bite Barca by holding ball better

High stakes ... Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson celebrates his side's semi-final win. Photo: Getty Images


For all the anticipation, four clashes between Real Madrid and Barcelona in such a short period was too much. Too much ego, too much enmity, too little respect and far too little football.
Hence the relief around the world that the Champions League final will be contested between two sets of players, managers and fans who will ensure the focus of the game will remain on the field of play. Madrid coach Jose Mourinho's insistence on creating tension and controversy to, supposedly, gain an advantage and deflect from his team, backfired spectacularly and left his side empty-handed in both sporting and reputation terms.




Now for the dream final. Get used to that phrase over the next three weeks as excitement builds to the title decider, between the two best-performing clubs of the past six years. Manchester United's celebrated manager Alex Ferguson against Pep Guardiola, the young coach who (the El Clasico series aside) exemplifies his club's values.




It's a repeat of the 2009 final, won 2-0 by Barcelona, so how will United seek to turn the tables? How will they adapt to the ''passing carousel'' of Xavi Hernandez and Andres Iniesta, as Ferguson so famously termed it? My feeling is they will seek to do two things better: to keep possession and to pressure Barca aggressively when the situation permits Madrid sought only to counter and stifle in the first leg of the semi-final. But Barca's ball movement leads to tired legs and mistimed tackles. Often, it leads to red cards and capitulation.


United's adaptation to Europe in the past decade under Ferguson has been based on a rejection of the ball in favour of compactness and the counter. It will be fascinating to see them seek to hold the ball and evade the pressure Barca apply so well on the defensive transition.


Wayne Rooney, Ryan Giggs, Michael Carrick, Rio Ferdinand and Edwin van der Sar will be critical to their hopes of doing so, and United will know that when Madrid were able to pass the ball, they built field position. This is a key to Barca's game. Possession does not only give control, but also confers field position. When the ball is lost, having numbers in the opponents' half allows a quick transition to recover the ball immediately.


The most dangerous moment in football today is when the ball is recovered close to an opponents' goal. For all Madrid's counter-attacking philosophy over the past four games, the two goals they scored came from applying pressure in Barca's half when they sought to play out, as they always do.


After five years of agonising over how to beat Barcelona, with most sitting deep and relying on the counter-attack, opponents are trying different, more varied approaches. One is to sit, absorb and strike quickly, and when the situation permits, to pressure Barcelona's famous build-up.
Considerable risk is attached to this strategy, but it can reap rich rewards when successful. Get it wrong and punishment is severe.



Pedro's goal to seal progression to the final originated with Victor Valdez in goal and travelled the length of the pitch via just three passes - the last a simply sublime one from Iniesta - with Barca having broken through the disorganised pressing of Madrid.



That's the allure of this clash. If Manchester United get it right and hold the ball better than in 2009, if they build their game and pressure in Barca's half, they might just win the most coveted title in football.


But if just a single player is out of sync, Barca will kill you in an instant. As Ferguson knows, their football might be beautiful, but it's also lethal in equal measure.

Raul on Manchester United vs Barcelona
"I don't think there is a favourite. There is nothing I can tell the managers of United or Barcelona. They are both great coaches and at Manchester, in particular, Ferguson is a legend. He will know exactly what his players have to do to win and they will work on a plan. The two sides are both very well balanced and they will know each other very well, from playing each other in the final two years ago. They are both at the ultimate level.

Barcelona are playing very well – that is clear – but Manchester United have proved against us and in the past that they can compete with whatever team they face. It will be a great final to watch."
