Sir Alex Ferguson has dubbed tonight’s Champions League final the "final of the decade" as his Manchester United team prepare to face an all-conquering Barcelona side.
The Scottish manager also predicted a goal rush could well be on the cards at Wembley.
The final is a repeat of the 2009 affair which the Catalans won 2-0 and Ferguson thinks the success of the two clubs made another meeting inevitable, with each having a worthy claim to be part of a final of the decade.
"Many people would agree it is the final of the decade", said the United boss.
"The success of both teams in the last decade has been enormous.
"The attraction of two great teams with great history is obvious."
And Ferguson believes that fans could be in for a treat, with the possibility existing that there will be a lot of goals in the game.
"It is an appealing final in terms of what could happen in the game.
"There could be a lot of goals, there could be a lot of excitement and there will be a lot of good football, I am sure of that."
