Champions Leauge final preview - match facts and odds

On saturday the final of the worlds most prestigous cup is held at Wembley, the clash is between what looks like the two best football teams in the world at the moment, FC Barcelona and Manchester United.

Favorites for Saturday's final is Barcelona, but there are many who believe that Manchester United can cause major problems for the Catalans, this is what Arenals manager Arsene Wenger has to say about the final:

“On what I have seen in the last three weeks, there will never be a better moment to win it against them. Barcelona look quite exhausted and Man United look quite sharp. For me, it takes three weeks to recover physically. I’m not sure Barcelona will have enough time. They looked on their knees so I would give Man United a good chance.”

This season's Champions League showpiece is being hosted at Wembley in London and Wenger has highlighted United’s familiarity with the venue as a factor in their favour.

“It will be an advantage.”

“You know that Barcelona will have the ball for 70 per cent of the time and Man United will have to be very efficient in the 30 per cent of the time they have the ball.”

“I have an instinctive feeling that Man United will change completely their style against them this time and go for a rougher midfield, a more direct display than they did in Rome [against the same opponents in the 2009 final].”

“You know how Barcelona will play. You don’t know yet how Man United will play.”

The bookmakers hold Barcelona as favourite to an odds of around 2.00, Unibet however offers a slightly better odds than the avarage with their 2.05.
