  • 50 50 I say, Barca is the better team passing, but with J Park and Anderson in the mid will put a lot of pressure. Most teams that have scored on Barca have been on rushing attacks right after defending and this is what Man U do best. Plus it also helps that they will be playing in England, a big advantage for Man U. If they where playing in another country I would say 60-40 in favor of Barca.

    I can tell you what will happen now. 22 people will run around a piece of grass kicking a ball. One team will win the other will blame the ref for loosing and some decisions they didnt like. The big corporate sponsors, players, the 2 clubs and EUFA will make lots of money out of it
