Barcelona boss Guardiola looking forward to Man Utd final
Barcelona boss Pep Guardiola says he is looking forward to the Champions League final against title holders Manchester United.
The Catalan club scraped through to the final after winning on away goals against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge but Guardiola is now looking forward and planning his preparation for Rome on May 27.
"Manchester are the champions, an unbelievable team and a coach with experience," he said.
"We are going to prepare well. I expect us to have the ball, them to stay back and to counter-attack.
"I'm sure it will be a nice final because we will attack, we know that. I know they are a huge team but we are Barcelona."

just look at last year barca and Man u game.. although barca did not win,, attacked more frequently... and offered more attractive football. man u held back.. thats how english team usually play against barca.
the good thing is that this is a final so man u will be slightly less conservative.

. The difference I can se is that United can hold Barcelonas pressure but barcelonas defence is to weak to withstand Uniteds offensive.
