1-0 to United. 2-0 at max.. either way, I have a feeling it might be kinda boring
I see a high United winning probability (80% imo). 10% chance of Barca winning it in 90 minutes and 10% it goes to extra time.
If it goes to penalties, I have a feeling Barca has a 60-40 to win. United kinda fail at penalties imo
United have a good chance of scoring this year (despite the way last year's match went) simply because of the lack of first line defenders in Barca's team for the finals.
Time once said that due to Fletcher's absence, United's Defensive Midfield is a tad bit weak and might give rise to more midfield possession (thus match control) for Barca. This might be true.. but I'm sure Ferguson has something planned for it.
Also, imo, Central Midfield is where Chelsea dropped off.. they played too defensively allowing Barca to attack.. it almost worked (having 10 men in defence in 2 lines of 5 but its always risky
What do you guys think is going to happen? (assuming someone is here before the match
)
EDIT: Found a stat here.. United have never lost in European Finals (that's something every United fan knows). But do they also know that every time, United was the "home" team. Hence every time they had their choice of jersey picking Blue, Red, and Red in 1968, 1999 and 2008 respectively.
This is the first time they have been drawn as the "away" team hence getting second choice of jersey. Barca is going with their Red/Blue stripe so United is going with White.
The last time Barca played a team in White they seems to have drubbed them 6-2 or something (just heard that in an interview). Ferguson replied "We're better than Real Madrid"
