Hopefully is not a game where both teams are overly cautious and it goes to extra time, would love the game to be 4-4 maybe.

These type games rarely live up to their billing remember the World cup final last July & 7 of Barcelona's team tonight started that final.

What about the one's that get paid to talk about "soccor"

47.Bring home the bacon

24.Tweet some silly rumour as it's true

22. Climb a mountain

17. Watch the sunset
18. Play strip poker with some hot gals

What the hell sure we'll have another thread however with a twist. I'll start..

1) Take the dog for a walk around your neighbourhood
2) Go to some local pub that's not showing the game
3) Watch Armagh v Down
4) Go for a round of Golf
5) Pop on the video game console for a few hours

From Barca's website.


►Since the competition has been called the Champions League (1992/93), Barça and United have scored and leaked the same number of goals (303 and 158).

►Of the nine games the Red Devils have played at Wembley (all in domestic competitions), five have been decided on penalties.

►Barça's last official visit to the place where they won their first European Cup was in the group stages of the 1999/00 season. They beat Arsenal 4-2.

►The team has already played at the new Wembley. That was in two preseason games in 2009/10 against Tottenham and Al Ahly.

►Barça have scored the most goals in this Champions League, with 27, and Manchester United have conceded the fewest goals, 4.

► Alex Ferguson's side have taken the most corners (76).

► These are the two clubs with the highest possession in this year's Champions League. The Catalans have 62% and the Mancunians 58%.

►Goalkeeper Edwin Van der Sar is retiring after the final. At 40 years of age, he already has two Champions League winners medals (1995 and 2009).

►Thanks to his 11 goals, Leo Messi will almost certainly be top scorer in the Champions League for the third season in a row. Only Gerd Müller and Jean Pierre Papin have achieved the same feat.

► The Argentinian is just one shy of the all time record under the current format. Ruud Van Nistelrooy scored 12 in 2003.

►Messi has taken the most shots in the competition (31) and is also the player who has been on the receiving end of the most fouls (30).
