Man Utd and Barcelona in the UEFA Champions League final

Man Utd and Barcelona will meet on Wednesday May 27th at 11:45 PM Pacific in what is shaping up to be a great game. Both teams have been leading their domestic leagues and playing great soccer. This will also feature the game's two biggest stars in Christiano Ronald and Leonel Messi. It is likely the winner of this game will be player of the year.

So who will win this game?

Manchester United swept Arsenal aside with two early goals in their 2nd leg game this week, but are in a close battle to stay on top of the EPL. Barcelona have a bit of a lead on Spain, but also have the Copa Del Rey to worry about if they are to have their own Treble.

I will give the edge to Man Utd because of their defense. Vidic and Ferdinand are absolute studs in tbe back, while Barcelona has Marquez out with an injury.

Man Utd also seems to show up in these big games while Barcelona seems a little sloppy. I thought Messi did not play well at all against a stiff Chelsea defense n the semis. These teams also met in last year semis, and Man Utd won 1-0.

Prediction ManUtd 3 - Barcelona 2
