For the 2nd time in 3 years, Manchester United and FC Barcelona are set to clash at for the Champions League title. In 2009, The Catalans took the title with a 2-0 victory at Stadio Olimpico in Rome. Barcelona was the home team, and Manchester United were designated as the away team.
This year, the final is at Wembley Stadium, home of the English National Team. I dont necessarily believe in home field advantage being a factor in sports, as any given team can win on any given day. Especially with Barcelona being the 'super-team' of our time, but going into the heart of English football must certainly be unnerving, even for the seemingly mechanical Catalans.
Even though I am a die-hard Chelsea fan, and an avid Red Devil hater, I must root for Manchester United in this match. Barcelona is honestly the killer of Spanish football. They win everything, and don't give any of the other teams in La Liga a chance to make a name for themselves in history. Real Madrid is a more human team, and I prefer them to Barcelona any day of the week. So, for the love of the game, LET'S GO MAN U!
