Strategist Sir Alex Ferguson celebrated victory in the Champions League semi-finals and urged the club not to be afraid.

The 'Red Devils' crushed Schalke 6-1 with an overall score, and in the decisive match on May 28 in London, they will face the Spanish champions.

"I don't think we should lack confidence in the final," said the Scottish specialist. "We will play against an amazing team, but we cannot be afraid. Everyone sees the great form our opponents are in, and our job is to find a way to neutralize them."

Ferguson promised to learn from Real's coach Jose Mourinho, who in the semi-finals did not find the antidote against the Catalans: "We talk to Mourinho quite often, we did it last week as well.

"However, I think we have enough knowledge about the Barcelona club ourselves. We have watched many of their matches this season. But Mourinho is very experienced, so we will listen to the information he has."
