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.

Barcelona to Play Manchester United in Summer Match

The top team in the England Premier League will play against the top team in the Spanish Football League - La Liga - this summer as Manchester United takes on Barcelona.

Man United will meet Barcelona in a friendly clash in Washington DC as part of their pre-season tour to the United States.

''Tours are a fantastic chance for the players to get away as a unit, to put in some good training sessions and to meet some of our fans around the world who don't have a chance to watch us play live every week,'' said Ferguson.

''Our visits to the US are always enjoyable ones. The training facilities are excellent and we certainly found last year that, with the improving quality of the MLS teams, the games are very competitive, which is great preparation for a new season.

''To finish off with a match against Barcelona will be a special moment for all our fans in the States.''

United open against New England Revolution on July 13 in Boston before travelling west to meet Seattle Sounders a week later. Next comes a game against Chicago Fire on July 23 before they take on the MLS All-Stars in New Jersey on July 27 and Barca in Washington.

Spanish Copa del Rey FINAL 2011: FC Barcelona v Real Madrid

Barca and Real fans are eagerly awaiting the upcoming King's Cup - Spainish Copa de Rey. The clash of the giants will be played at E Stadium in Valencia, Spain on April 20, 2011.

The popular contest is also a clash between Spain's two top goal scorers, Lionel Messi (Barcelona) and Cristiano Ronaldo (Real Madird).

LIONEL MESSI

Messi's last match was a 2-1 victory against Getafe. Super-Messi almost gave Barca the lead with an impressive overhead kick after seven minutes, but the Argentinian - improvising with his back to goal - saw his effort saved by Getafe goalkeeper Jordi Codina. A powerful Dani Alves strike and a deflected Bojan Krkic effort gave Barcelona victory at home to Getafe in the Primera Division. Lionel won the 2009 and 2010 World Player of the Year awards.

"Messi is my Maradona," said Maradona himself, as the head coach of the Argentine national team.                                                

CRISTIANO RONALDO

Ronaldo's last match was a 2-1 win against Athletico Madrid. Real Madrid continued their long-standing domination of city rivals Atletico Madrid with the win - and keep the pressure on Primera Division leaders Barcelona. Benzema struck his 10th goal from his last eight appearances to put Madrid ahead early on, and Mesut Ozil added a second before the break. Ronaldo won the Champions League with Manchester United in 2008, and subsequently was named FIFA's World Player of the Year. Cristiano's name Ronaldo came from his father's favorite actor, Ronald Reagan. 

 "I have nothing but praise for the boy. He is easily the best player in the world. He is better than Kaka and better than Messi. He is streets ahead of them all. His contribution as a goal threat is unbelievable. His stats are incredible. Strikes at goal, attempts on goal, raids into the penalty box, headers. It is all there. Absolutely astounding." Sir Alex Ferguson, July 2009.
