Guardiola does not fear Manchester!

To think this is Gaurdiola's first season as manager, and what a line up he had to start with - Messi, Eto and Henry just to name a few. He exceeded all my expectations as a coach. I honestly never imagined he would lead Barcelona to a domestic double and reach the final of Europe's Champions League. Look I will be dead honest as a Liverpool supporter I'm praying Barcelona destroys Manchester. The only fear I would have is of Ferguson's tactical mind.

Although I try to fight the opinion, Manchester has the ability to take the Champions League once again. Gaurdiola should be worrying a little, seeing as two of his top defenders Marquez and Abidal will be missing the final due to match bans. He also has concerns with the fitness of Thierry Henry and Andres Iniesta.

"I know I have important players missing but that can't be an excuse. Tomorrow we'll put out a very good team and we'll try to be Barcelona," said Guardiola.

All in all this is going to be one juicy final! Maybe not as good as the Istanbul 2005 final but good enough to keep us on the edge of our seats. To all the Manchester fans good luck I hope you win. To all the Barcelona fans, I won't say good luck but I'll say enjoy the win. Now the only problem is, trying to make time move faster so the final can start already.
