23/04/08     UCL     Barcelona     0 - 0     Manchester United

There have been very few goals actually when these two have met in recent games and I believe that few goals is a good pick in this one as well. United will be looking to stop the likes of Lionel Messi and will be looking to keep clean sheets for as long as possible. Barcelona are pritty strong at the back with former United defender Gerard Pique a key player. The battle is likely to be on the midfield, but United have a VERY strong defence with Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic in the center.

Pick: Less than 2.5 goals.

Some Barcelona jokes:

The big positive for Arsenal: Barcelona have ended their interest in Cesc Fabregas. Unfortunately they now want to sign Jack Wilshere...

A kid goes into a soccer store and asks the owner: “I would like to buy an official FC Barcelona jersey. Do you have any?”And the store owner replies: “Which one? The team jersey or the referee’s jersey?”

Anyone got any United jokes? or other Barca jokes?

Barca are gaining most of the media attention which I think that may lead to them bottling it to be honest!
Fergie knows this is going to be one of his last chances as a  manager to win the competition and thats why i've gotta go with United!
1-0 win

But Barca have a great team. lots of players who can make magic happen. United need player such as Park, Rooney and the defenders too play at their best tonight, to have a chance at beating the Spaniards!

who do you believe will start the game for United? and for Barca?
