Referee Massimo Busacca (SUI)
BIG MATCH STATS
- This will be the 10th meeting between FC Barcelona and Manchester United in
European competition. United have won three times, Barcelona have won twice
and there have been four draws.
- The two clubs have previously played each other in a European final,
Manchester United emerging 2-1 winners of the 1991 Cup Winners' Cup final.
- Barcelona have been eliminated from European competition by the Red Devils
on three occasions, but have themselves never knocked United out over one
or two legs.
- The first ever encounter between the clubs in the Champions League was in
October 1994 and ended in a 2-2 draw. Paul Scholes came on as a substitute
in the 66th minute and Barcelona's current head coach Josep Guardiola
played the whole match for Barca.
- Scholes and Ryan Giggs both scored in the 3-3 Champions League draw against
the Spaniards at Old Trafford in September 1998, and Scholes also scored
United's winner in last season's semi-final against Barca.
CLUB FORM
- Playing in their fifth European final (excluding Super Cups) and defending a
100% record in such matches; participated in three CC/CL finals and won the
lot.
- The first club since Valencia CF (2000 and 2001) to reach successive
Champions League finals; victory will see them becoming the first club to
win two successive Champions League titles.
- Five of their last six matches against Spanish opposition have ended
goalless with only last season's CL semi-final second leg against Barcelona
(1-0 win) bucking the trend. United have not lost to Spanish opposition in
their last seven fixtures.
- Unbeaten in 25 Champions League matches, a competition record.
- The only club to complete two unbeaten Champions League seasons (1998-99 and
2007-08) and can make it a third if they avoid defeat here.
- Five goals short of 500 scored in European competition (including Super
Cups).
- Aiming to become the first English club to claim quadruple honours of league,
League Cup, World Club Championship and Champions Cup/Champions League.
KEY PLAYER NOTES
- Barcelona's Lionel Messi is the Champions League's top scorer this season
with eight goals. However, he has failed to score against English opposition
in 10 Champions League matches in his career.
- If selected, Andres Iniesta will be making his 50th appearance in a Champions
League match. He made his CL debut on 29 October 2002 playing for the whole
of Barcelona's 1-0 win at Club Brugge.
- Dani Alves and Eric Abidal are both suspended for the Champions League final.
Carles Puyol returns from suspension.
- Current Barcelona central defender Gerard Pique began his career at
Manchester United.
- Manchester United goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar will be playing in a
Champions League final for the fourth time and will be only the seventh
player to play in so many finals.
- Van der Sar will become the third oldest person ever - behind Italians Dino
Zoff and Paolo Maldini - to play in a CC/CL final.
- Van der Sar, Paul Scholes, Ryan Giggs, Gary Neville and Wes Brown can all
win the Champions League for the third time in their careers. Ten players
have already achieved this.
- Cristiano Ronaldo has scored four goals in this season's knockout phase and
is joint top scorer since the group phase with Barcelona's Thierry Henry and
Chelsea's Didier Drogba.
- However, Ronaldo has failed to score in his six matches against Spanish
opposition and missed a third minute penalty in the first leg of last
season's CL semi-final against Barca.
- Wayne Rooney is the only player from either squad to have played all 12 of
his club's Champions League matches this season.
- Darren Fletcher is suspended for this year's Champions League final.
OTHER MISCELLANEOUS FACTS
- Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson can become only the second person
ever, after Bob Paisley, to win the Champions Cup/Champions League three
times as head coach.
- He can also equal Giovanni Trapattoni's record of five European trophies
(excluding Super Cups) as head coach.
- The 67 year old Scot is the most decorated manager in English and Scottish
football with 31 major titles (excluding the World Club Championship).
- In all Sir Alex has won 33 pieces of silverware as Manchester United manager;
11 Premier League titles, five FA Cups, three League Cups, two Champions
League titles, the 2008 Club World Cup, the 1992 Super Cup, the 1991 Uefa
Cup, the 1999 Inter-Continental Cup, and the FA Charity/Community Shield
eight times (one of which was shared).
- FC Barcelona head coach Josep Guardiola is the eighth person to reach the
Champions Cup/Champions League final in his first ever season as a head
coach.
- Guardiola will be the third youngest coach to win the Champions Cup/Champions
League if Barcelona finish on top. He will be the youngest winning head coach
in the Champions League era if Barcelona win.
- Guardiola can also become the sixth head coach to win the competition as
player and head coach. Both of the previous victorious Barcelona head
coaches, Johan Cruijff and Frank Rijkaard have achieved this.
- Mark Hughes scored both goals for Manchester United in the 1991 Cup Winners'
Cup final against his former club Barcelona, for whom he scored just four
league goals in the 1986-87 season.
- Other who played for both clubs include Laurent Blanc, Jordi Cruijff and
Henrik Larsson, the latter played a crucial part in Barcelona's 2006
Champions League final win against Arsenal.
