Last time I remember these last two meeting in a Cup final, ManU were huge underdogs. Barca had the might Diego Maradona and all of England was talking about Bryan Robson.
Anyway ManU hit dem some hard clout, with Maradona pulling off a Chris Angel (talk about disappointment). ManU emerged 3-1 winners (I Think).
Just to jar the memory of the older heads and enlighten the youth dem
Nah Observer.
I think yuh remembering a UEFA Cup or CWC meeting back in the early eighties.
United win the first leg 2-0 but then get beat 3-0 in the Nou Camp. Can't remember if Maradona was playing but I believe it was in '83 or '84. I remeber Robson scoring (of course).
The next time they meet after that was in the '91 CWC final. Barca was the favourite with Koeman and Laudrup but United beat them with a Hughes double (big, big player)
After that was the Champions League group stage meetings. The thing about United Barcelona is that up until last year every game was a open, entertaining game.
In '94 United come from behind to draw 2-2 with a Lee Sharpe flick but then Barcelona kill them 4-0 in Spain.
Then in 1999 group stages they draw 3-3 twice in two of the best games you will ever see.
Hopefully this final will live up to the past meetings
