So the stage is set for Manchester United to affront Barcelona at Wembley on Saturday night and Barca admirer Nani wants the Red Devils to steal the show.
Bookies have tipped Lionel Messi to get bigger than any other player during the game as the Catalans are expected by many to carry the day. However, Nani is planning to prove those people wrong. He told The Sun:

“When I’m at home and I’m watching TV, I think about Barcelona's players in a totally different way than if I am playing against them.

“At home, I appreciate the way they play. Lionel Messi is the best player in the world. I like to see him play and see the things that he does. He inspires other players to do different things as well.

“But on the pitch, I want to be better than them. Every day I am on the training ground I always practice. I want to improve the things I am not good at. I’m trying to be mentally stronger.

“I’m not perfect but feel with more experience I can contribute more to the team.”

Nani might start Barcelona vs Manchester United from the bench, according to English news source The Sun. Will the Portuguese star turn into a super sub during the 2011 UEFA Champions League final?
