Manchester United has been in dominant form at this moment over the last couple of seasons. The Red Devils already clinched the FIFA Club World Cup title, achieved the hat-trick of premier league title and Carling Cup title and they are the defending champion of Champions league. Naturally, they are full of confident before they take on Barcelona in the Rome final. Though Manchester United failed to reach the FA Cup Final after losing to Everton in the semi final on penalty shoot out, they are still in contention for landing four titles in this season which I do not think many team could do in the past.
For Barcelona, they had a dismal last season, even though they made it to the last four of Champions league. However, they have been in sparkling form so far this season mainly because of Argentine playmaker Lionel Messi who continued to improve his skill. Moreover, the star players like Thierry Henry and Samuel Eto’o returned with their top form, and all these have been reflecting in Barcelona’s on-field performance so far this season. They demolished arch rival Real Madrid on both occasions this season and got a confidence booster goal in the second leg of champions league semi final against Chelsea.
Overall, it is pretty much certain that both teams will not leave any stone unturned to win the title, and their confidence level will be very high, given that both teams won their domestic league titles recently.
