Champions League: Manchester United v FC Barcelona – everybody’s dream Finale
It certainly should have been a rematch of last year’s Champions League final. Instead, Norwegian referee Tom Henning Ovrebo decided it would be a rematch of one of last year’s semifinal clash between Manchester United and FC Barcelona.
Manchester United progressed to the Champions League final in Rome after convincingly beating Arsenal 4-1 on aggregate. The Red Devils had to wait 24 hours after triumphing at the Emirates to know who will be their opponents come May 27 at the Stadio Olimpico. And with all the controversy one could ever think of, it was revealed to be Pep Guardiola’s Catalan Giants Barcelona FC, after the Blaugrana controversially ousted Guus Hiddink’s Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
Barcelona clashing against Manchester United in the final of the UEFA Champions League was something that everyone was dreaming about.
This clash will see Cristiano Ronaldo coming up against Lionel Messi and experienced manager Sir Alex Ferguson against debutant Pep Guardiola in his first year as coach of a senior side.
