Sir Alex Ferguson Not Worried About Lionel Messi

Lionel Messi – Luis Lionel Andrés Messi – FC Barcelona

Alex Ferguson says that his side are fit for their Champions League Final clash with Barcelona on Saturday at Wembley Stadium in London.

Fergie adamently stated that neither he nor United are scared by Lionel Messi.

Although Messi has scored an astonishing 52 goals in Barca's amazing 2010-11 season, Sir Alex is confident that his side can stop Messi from controlling the match at Wembley.

“We’ve played against Barcelona three times with Messi in the team and there’s always a solution to every good player – and we hope we can find a solution on Saturday.

 “But you’ve also got to recognise that they have other good players and we have good players, and that is why it’s such an appealing game.

“But I’m sure Barcelona are aware of the threats we can offer, and hopefully that is the case.

“I’ve just got to trust my players that they can perform on Saturday and that makes a difference.

“I know they’ll be ready.”

Lionel Messi v Cristiano Ronaldo in El Clasico

On Saturday, Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi will fight another exciting battle in El Clasico. Real Madrid’s Ronaldo will enter the contest with a goal behind Barcelona’s Messi in La Liga’s top scorers’ chart.

Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo is fit, scoring three goals in his last 3 matches in all competitions. Ronaldo is now just 4 goals shy of hitting 200 career goals. He hopes at least one of those come at the Santiago Bernabeu against Barcelona on Saturday. Ronaldo has never ever scored against Barca - having faced the Catalans 6 times in total.

Barcelona's Lioned Messi - La Pulga - has not scored a single goal against Jose Mourinho  in the 8 matches that Messi has played against the Portuguese coach. This record could either come to an end or continue during El Clasico on Saturday at Real Madrid’s Santiago Bernabeu stadium.
