Barcelona’s Javier Mascherano delighted to play his second Champions League final – UCL News
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Javier-Mascherano-c18071, has insisted that he is eagerly awaiting the UEFA Champions League final and wished that his team could repeat the feat of 2008/09 final in Rome. He mentioned that it was his dream to play in the Champions League
final with the Spanish giants and it has certainly come true.
Both United and Barcelona are set to lock horns on Saturday, May 28 at Wembley Stadium. The midfielder urged the Catalan giants to stay positive and advised them not to fall back often. He believed that United would have no such thing as the home advantage;
the support would be equal.
Mascherano seemed delighted after reaching the finals of the competition and enthused that his side holds an added advantage over the Red Devils. He remembered the Rome final and thought that Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson’s side would be under immense pressure as they
would also want to take revenge at the same time.
The 26-year-old further added, "I have dreamed of making it to the Champions League final again, because it is very difficult to make it there. For footballers that play at the big clubs like me, taking part in the Champions League every year is a normal
thing, but not many make it to the last match, the final; it's like playing at the World Cup."
He also urged his side not to relax and said that a repeat performance of the semi-finals against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684 this season
and the league win is a clear example of that. He wished to complete a double this season and reckoned that the team possesses every trait conceivable to wipe off any top side.
He concluded by remembering the other final he took part in, when he was a http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 player. "I hope that after the defeat back then with Liverpool, this time with a bit of luck we can win it. Barcelona managed to win two years ago, and I hope the same team
can repeat that success. For me it would be a great feeling."
Both Manchester United and Barcelona are respective champions of their Leagues and will fight it out to decide the best team in Europe.
