Barcelona - Manchester United Preview: Sir Alex Ferguson aiming for third Champions League win in repeat of 2009 final.
The newly crowned champions of Spain and England go head-to-head at Wembley with both clubs hoping to lift the European Cup for the fourth time in their history.
PROBABLE LINE-UPS
Barcelona (4-3-3)
Valdes; Alves, Pique, Mascherano, Puyol; Xavi, Busquets, Iniesta; Pedro, Messi, Villa.
Barcelona’s main selection dilemma will concern their defence where Eric Abidal, Adriano and Maxwell are all available again after injury or illness.
However, Pep Guardiola may opt to play the also fit-again Carles Puyol at left-back with Javier Mascherano filling in alongside Gerard Pique.

Manchester United (4-4-1-1)
Van der Sar; Fabio Da Silva, Ferdinand, Vidic, Evra; Valencia, Carrick, Giggs, Park; Rooney; Hernandez.
The Premier League champions have few injury problems, but Sir Alex Ferguson has decisions to make, particularly over who gets the nod at right-back, a position which the Da Silva twins and John O’Shea have shared this season. Fabio has been picked for the big games recently and looks favourite to start.
The Scot’s midfield selection will also prove interesting with Darren Fletcher vying with Michael Carrick for a place, particularly after missing the 2009 clash through suspension. Elsewhere, Ji-Sung Park, so often the man for the big occasion, may get the nod with Ryan Giggs and Antonio Valencia also hot favourites to start.
