Tomorrow is essentially the Super Bowl of club soccer. The best part is that both teams have players that even the ordinary U.S. sports fan can recognize. On one side you have Barcelona FC with Leonell Messi and on the other you have Manchester United with Wayne Rooney. Both of these clubs are very historic and have had massive amounts of success. Barcelona FC is the defending champion of the Spanish Premier league and has about half of the Spanish national team (or so I could swear). Manchester United just claimed their 19th English Premier League title and has half of the English National team. Both teams also possess a god of the current soccer world. Man U has the powerful and bullish Rooney, who amazes people with his pure brute force. Barca has the speedy and agile Messi, who has been named the FIFA Player of the year.
Overall, I feel that Man U is the better team. With better strikers and goalkeeping, they will please the home fans with a championship. (For the record: English teams are 2-0 when the sight of the Final is in England.)
For the Champions League Final, this is what will happen:
Man U-2 Barca-1
I don't have too much experience in picking soccer games or how a team stands up against another, but I know for sure this will be a great game. So I encourage you to watch this game and get into soccer. Soccer is the World's sport, but the States don't seem to care. Be a part of the soccer revolution and catch this game tomorrow!
