Gary Lineker : Barcelona are favourites to win Champions League final against Manchester United.
Former Barcelona striker believes that Premier League giants need luck to get a positive result in London in the biggest game in European club football.
Barcelona are more likely to win the Champions League final on Saturday evening than Manchester United, according to former England international striker Gary Lineker.
The Spanish champions confront their English counterparts in the final at Wembley in what will be a repeat of the 2009 Champions League final. On that occasion Pep Guardiola’s side won 2-0, and former Barcelona striker Lineker believes that they will be favourites this time too.
"If Barcelona turn up, they win," Lineker told the BBC. " Barcelona have got to have a bad day for United to realistically have a chance. Either that or United get lucky."
Gary Lineker also believes Barcelona’s class will negate United’s advantage of playing in England.
"The fact it is in England and they will probably get the vast majority of the support and it is 90 minutes, not two legs, gives them a better chance," explained Gary Lineker.
"But if they played ten times, Manchester United might win one or two of them, there would maybe be a couple of draws and Barcelona would win the rest."
