Spain’s best vs. England’s best.
England’s best player vs. the world’s best player.
Wayne Rooney vs. Lionel Messi.
Saturday, the 28th of May will see the Red Devils take on La Blaugrana in a repeat of the 2009 UEFA Champions League final.
It seems fitting that these two teams would meet in the final this season. Both teams are aiming for the double after clinching their domestic titles with ease this season.
This thrilling contest will pit Pep Guardiola against Sir Alex Ferguson, who are arguably two of the best managers in world football right now. Over the past three seasons, there have been few coaches who have been as good as them.
May 28th will witness these teams take the field at Wembley and this one promises to be a much more even contest than the one back in 2009, when the Catalan giants steamrolled the Red Devils.
This epic clash will feature the battle between Barcelona’s Lionel Messi and Manchester United’s Wayne Rooney.
While Messi is widely considered to be one of the world’s best if not the best, Rooney generates contrasting opinions among the masses. Some call him overrated while the others see him as a genius with the ball in his feet, a true team player.
As an Arsenal fan, I am supposed to loathe Rooney and his club but I have to say I fall into the latter category. I see him as a great player and while he has some issues with his temper and temperament, I see him as a great player and right now he is the best English player out there.
So far it is fair to say that despite his younger age, Messi has had a far more successful career. Just 23 and yet he has already won two Ballon d’Ors, something Rooney has failed to do. Messi has scored 179 times in just 268 games while Rooney has managed 168 in 397 games.
While this might show a big gap in quality, the reality is that Messi is better, but not by much like some Messi fanatics would like to point out.
But on 28th all that well count for nothing as the two players take the field in an effort to bring glory for their respective teams. Last time around, it was Messi who won the battle between the two as he scored the second goal in Barcelona’s 2-0 win over Manchester United.
The two of them go into this clash in great form but they have had contrasting seasons. Source
