Manchester United vs Barcelona 2011 UEFA Champions League Finals
It’s Manchester United vs Barcelona (Barca) in the 2009 UEFA Champions League Finals in Rome on May 27, 2009! Barca came off with a thrilling late goal to level the score at Stamford Bridge a few hours ago. With the away goal after a scoreless draw at Camp Nou a week ago, Barca progressed to the finals.
The other night, Manchester United, the 2008 Champions League champions, thrashed Arsenal 3-1 to progress again to the Finals. If they win again in Rome, they will be the first team to win the title back-to-back in the UEFA Champions League Era. This will be history worth cherishing for Cristiano Ronaldo, Sir Alex Ferguson, and of course, the whole United team and the fans.
My prediction for a repeat of the Chelsea-Manchester United finals did not materialize. I really felt bad for Chelsea. This is their fourth semi-final defeat in six seasons. They had it within their grasp when Michael Essien scored the first goal. But the wily Iniesta sneaked in and scored in the 93rd minute. He had Lionel Messi to thank for. It’s the end of the road for Guus Hiddink’s side. No more redemption for Terry and Drogba. Not this year!
Can Manchester United repulse Barca in its chase for more glory? Ronaldo and Rooney vs Eto’o, Henry and Messi. These two teams practically have the world’s best football players today. Both can score goals as plenty as they like. Fluid football and great plays are what we are to expect in the Finals in Rome.
Who is your bet to win the trophy? The 2008 Champions vs the 2006 Champions. Watch Manchester United vs Barcelona Live on May 27, 2009 at the Stadio Olimpico.

Hello,
I’ve kearned from Doc Z that you own this blog. How do you come into so much sports news. It’s amazing!
Cheers and keep writing.
Manchester United for me. I don’t know a single thing about them. I’m fascinated though about their great following. It’s a puzzlement. “,) Maybe there’s a lesson to be learned there somewhere we can put to good use in our blogs?
Hayan na naman. Trust me to twist something and relate it to blogging. lol.
Thanks for visiting my blog. Very much appreciated. That sounds a little stiff, but I mean it. “,)
hi Jena isle, thanks for the visit! i met doc Z at the iblog5. i mistook him for some other blogger. (hehe. sorry, doc!) this sports blog is just one of the blogs i own. i had other blogs too. not for making money online, but for the love of blogging.
Can’t really relate on the subject, because I rarely watch sports on TV, and especially these types of sports aren’t shown of free-TV
anyway, nice meeting you on iBlog5 bro!

thanks for dropping by Roy! the football topics in this site are not really popular here in RP. my target visitors are the searchers from anywhere in the world except RP. local visits comprise only around 10%. im kinda frustrated sports writer. LOL!
jan, football is popular elsewhere except RP. Man U is the world’s second wealthiest football club, next to Real Madrid. Football players are treated like celebrities. What blogging lesson here? Blog for your passion, even if your followers don’t know what it is all about. To convert them is another challenge.
