Talking to the reporters, Ferguson said, "Beating Barcelona would end all arguments about this team – exactly. That’s their challenge at Wembley. I know we’re playing a terrific team, but would you back against us in a big way? I don’t think you would. We’re capable of doing very well in the final. There’s nothing wrong with accepting challenges, we’re very good at that.”
"It doesn’t matter where the challenges come from; you have to stand up to the mark. And this side doesn’t give in, that’s their great quality." Added the longstanding manager
